Essay About A Book
Writing an essay about a book may seem deceptively simple at first glance, as one might assume
that all it requires is a brief summary and personal opinions. However, delving into the intricacies
of crafting a thoughtful and engaging essay on this topic can reveal its inherent challenges.
Firstly, selecting the right book becomes a crucial task. Choosing a book that not only resonates
with the writer but also offers ample material for analysis and discussion is pivotal. This process
involves a careful consideration of various literary elements, themes, and the author's style,
adding a layer of complexity to the initial phase of the essay-writing journey.
Once a book is chosen, the challenge lies in striking a balance between summarizing the plot and
providing insightful analysis. Avoiding a mere retelling of the story while delving into the
nuances of character development, plot structure, and underlying themes requires a keen
analytical mind. Crafting a coherent and compelling argument that goes beyond surface-level
observations demands a deep understanding of the book and its context.
Moreover, integrating relevant quotes and textual evidence to support the arguments adds
another layer of difficulty. Extracting meaningful passages from the book and seamlessly
incorporating them into the essay to reinforce key points requires both literary acumen and a
knack for effective expression.
Structuring the essay is yet another hurdle to overcome. Organizing ideas logically, developing a
strong thesis statement, and ensuring a smooth flow from one paragraph to another demand
careful planning and meticulous execution. Striking the right balance between introduction,
body, and conclusion while maintaining a coherent narrative is an art that requires practice and
refinement.
Additionally, achieving a distinctive voice and capturing the reader's attention pose ongoing
challenges. Developing a writing style that is both engaging and reflective of one's own
perspective on the book can be a formidable task. It's not just about narrating facts but about
creating an immersive experience for the reader, making them see the book through the writer's
unique lens.
In conclusion, writing an essay about a book involves a multifaceted process that goes beyond
mere summarization. It demands thoughtful analysis, careful selection of evidence, adept
organization, and a distinctive writing style. The difficulty lies not only in understanding the
book but also in presenting that understanding in a compelling and insightful manner. Mastering
the art of crafting such essays requires time, effort, and a genuine passion for literature.

Grapheme Color Synesthesia
Synesthesia was discovered back in the 1880s when Francis Galton described a
condition where he thinks of numbers in visual imagery, which is known as
synesthesia today. Synesthesia is the experience in which a stimulation of one sense
triggers an additional sensory experience (Rothen Mejer, 2010). In other words, it is
a condition where the senses are cross linked, and the experience is automatic and
reliable (Rich, Bradshaw, Mattingley, 2005). A common type of synesthesia
is called
the grapheme colorsynesthesia, which is when people experience seeing colors when
they come across any letters or numbers even though the font color is black. For
instance, the letter A to a synesthete may be a red color, and the number three may be
a blue... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The encoded stimulus is richer for synesthetes compared to people without
synesthesia. Also there is a performance advantage when the subjects recall the
spoken or written words (Gross, Neargarder, Caldwell Harris Cronin Golomb,
2011; Rothen Ward, 2012). In Gross et al. s (2011) study, they recruited nine color
graphemic synesthetes using a standardized neuropsychological measure that
would trigger color graphemic synesthesia for verbal tasks. One verbal test that
they used was the Paired Verbal Associates test. For this test, participants were to
learn eight pairs of standard shapes and nonsense shapes. Some trials had
immediate recall or a 30 minute delay. In all trials, the synesthetic participants
recalled the standard shape when presented with the nonsense shape. This test was
altered to reduce potential differences between the participant s synesthesia and the
colors, by exchanging the colored squares with the line drawings of familiar
shapes. A one way ANOVA was conducted for each trial. It revealed that all
synesthetes reached ceiling on trial 3 and 4 (M=5.0 +/ 1.7), while none of the
control participants reached ceiling (M= 2.89 +/ 2.2). Their results were very similar
to Rothen and Meier s (2010) results. For the most part, their findings supported the
cue induced encoding/retrieval hypothesis. Significant results were elicited by the
tests
Guy Montag Character Analysis
In the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the main character Guy Montag can
be described as being on a journey. Throughout the whole story he drastically
changes both mentally and physically. Montag lives in a corrupt society, where
they believe in suppressing knowledge. In the novel, Guy is breaking away from
the popular views, and forming his own opinions on the government. In his
journey to his true self he hits many major milestones and realizations. A few are 1.
He is not happy in his current life, and feels the need to explore and learn about
other rebels like him. 2. Montag steals a book, which were banned at the time 3. He
kills his boss in a final argument. These changes form a new Montag, a Montag that
defies the rules and... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This is such a big milestone because it was the first root, the first rebel thought that
would eventually bring him down a path in which he could never return from.
After Montag had been self reflecting he came to a conclusion that he needed to
steal a book. His outlook on life had changed and he wanted to see what he had
been missing all of the years he was a firefighter. He wanted to find out why books
were banned, and what they hid beneath top secret covers. At this major point in
the story Montag is burning a house down that was said to have books hidden
inside. Although he had been burning houses for years, and he was supposed to go
about it normally, he was appalled. Seeing his job in the light made him feel
shocked and and disgusted by the people he used to call his friends. He takes it
upon himself to steal a book from the house and bring it home with him. Montag
felt the hidden book pound like a heart against his chest. Go on. Said the woman,
and Montag felt himself back away and out the door, after Beatty, down the steps,
across the lawn, where the path of kerosene lay like the track of some evil snail.
This quote proves that this is a big milestone in the story. It shows that Montag is
actually going through with stealing a book. He believes in knowledge enough so
much that he will break a law to expose the government. Montag is now determined
and has his mind set. This is a big
Causes Of The Boston Massacre
With revolution on the rise and independence in colonist minds, it starts to be clear
that the definition of American is becoming more evident in British minds. With the
first few acts such as the Stamp Acts, Quartering Acts, Tea Act, and etc., the British
had placed on the colonists, the sense of patriotism becomes more common in all
Americans. But the event of the Boston Massacre, which had troops of British
soldiers fire upon a crowd of colonists, boosted the idea of freedom and furthered the
hate of Britain by the colonists. This occurrence, although tragic, did help the
colonists unite together and aided the revolution. It is unclear which side, colonists or
the British, stimulated it into happening. However, I believe that the Americans are
the ones to blame for this tragic event. The whole occurrence had the British holding
the guns and shooting at the colonists but I feel that the colonists stimulated this
affair. In different accounts of the massacre, it is stated that the colonists taunted the
redcoats. Additionally, this protest was the result of the mercantilistic acts British
imposed.
The Boston Massacre initially started as an argument in Boston s customs house.
However, tensions grew and finally the protests became more violent and the bullets
flew into the crowd. In differing reports of this event, many of them state that
something was thrown into one of the soldiers prompting the firing. According to
Thomas Preston (Doc 2), the Captain of the troopers in
American Hospital Corporation
Introduction Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) is a proprietary hospital
management company. The company has been following an acquisitive strategy
by taking over hospital companies and not for profit hospitals. The firm is also
considering expanding into new health service areas like home health care and
outpatient surgery. The company is at a crossroads with regard to its financial
goals; HCA currently faces the likelihood of adverse changes to the Medicare
/Medicaid policy which could strain the company s profitability along with a
substantial increase in financial leverage risks coupled with an increase in required
expenditure to reap the effect of prospective operating synergies like economies of
scale and scope from the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This is because there is a lack of growth opportunities through acquisition and
construction of new hospitals. HCA is expected to mature and become a cash cow
by about 1987. At this stage, it is expected to incur limited capital expenditure.
Instead, the company can be milked continuously from its existing operations and
is expected to generate cash in excess of the amount required to maintain the
business. Likely impact of proposed changes to prospective reimbursement One of
the significant impacts of proposed changes to prospective reimbursement is that
hospitals will be paid based on expected fixed rates rather than actually incurred
costs. Hospitals will no longer be paid using cost plus basis (costs plus a certain
percentage of profits based on costs). As a result of fixed rate payments to hospitals,
there will be more incentive for hospitals to reduce costs and improve efficiency in
order to maximise profits. The prospective reimbursement program will also result in
hospitals not being able to recoup full amount of allowable interest expense. Instead,
they can only recoup the interest tax shield portion of the interest expense. Investors
Feminist Aspects Of Disney s Mulan
Growing up 5 minutes outside of our nation s capital, I was surrounded by politics
from a very young age. I was 4 years old playing on the playground across the street
from my home, less than a mile away from the pentagon on September 11th, 2001.
Like most school systems have drills to practice what to do in case of a tornado or
earthquake, we also had drills to practice what to do in case there is an active
shooter or another terrorist attack. Needless to say, growing up in in Arlington,
Virginia, I was surrounded by people with various opposing views on each and
every social, economic, and generally political issue in the book. I, myself, am not

participating in the Women s March on Washington, or even sporting an I m With

individual, do have my own personal opinions, all of which will be kept to myself

Mulan, taking place during the Han Dynasty. Mulan, the daughter of aged Chinese
warrior Fa Zhou, is fearful that her ailing father will be drafted into the Chinese

man and goes off to military training, knowing it is of great risk to herself and her

Without hesitation, Woden gave up his left eye.

...
Beowulf (G), the hero, is able to identify Grendel (G) s pattern and destroy him.
Since mankind could only defeat Grendel (G) by creating a hero more powerful than
him, the hero represents a kind of process that ultimately creates a greater monster.
Therefore, using these archetypes, Gardner and the Beowulf poet use the same story
to illuminate the difference between ancient and modern society; Beowulf (AS) is the
proper representative of the Anglo Saxon society, and Grendel (G) is the proper
representative of the modern world.
Grendel s role remains the same in both books; the role of a monster that embodies
humanity s fears, a creature that human society creates. Grendel (AS) exists as a
mindless perversion of nature. He represents one branch of the human society
created by God that is distorted by evil. However Grendel (G) exists as just another
aspect of nature, outside of human society; until he is transformed by his contact
with mankind, the concept of monster does not apply to Grendel (G.) In viewing the
monstrous body as a metaphor for the cultural body...beasts, demons, freaks, and
fiends are symbolic expressions of cultural unease that pervades a society and shapes
its collective behavior. (Cohen). This is especially true of Grendel (G), whose

Masculinity In The Wife Of Bath s Tale

The One That Narrates Has Sovereignty
In Chaucer s The Canterbury Tales, The Wife of Bath s Tale is told as a Breton lai
that to subtlety elucidates the desire women have for power. Ultimately, patriarchal
medieval society is more accepting of a fairy confronting toxic masculinity, because a
mystical creature does not emasculate a man the same way a woman would. This
tactic, unfortunately, limits Alisoun s ideologies to the parameters of her fairytale.
Alisoun, being the narrator, also gets away with sly critiques of societal roles of
women by using literature as a weapon to balance the power of the sexes and
disguising her own opinions as the fairy s.
In medieval times, literature, such as the Holy Bible was used to discredit women
as powerful. With her story, Alisoun is trying to do the same with men. In her
story, she discredits the sovereignty of men by telling a tale of a wicked knight.
She does this as a revolt against her late husband s, Jankin s, Book of Wikked
Wyves (685). Alisoun s motives for telling this tale is evident in her prologue
when she states, By God, it wommen hadde writen stories, / As clerks han withinne
hire oratories, / They wolde han writen of men moore wikkednesse/ Than al the
mark of Adam may redresse (693 696). She was clever in causing discord in an
Arthurian tale which were male centered, where the king is a force for justice and
order, and the knight was chivalrous and the

Words To Describe Chicago
Dangerous, chaotic, gun violence, murder rate, and Chirac are all words used by
various amounts of people on twitter, when asked to describe Chicago using one
word or phrase. If I were to describe the city of Chicago, I would simply say:
complex, diverse, misunderstood, windy, and lastly beautiful. Many people who view
Chicagoas a bad city, because of all the crime and murder rate, which is why people
refer to Chicago as Chirac . Being born and raised in Chicago, I can tell you that
Chicago is a much better city than most people view it as. This windy city,

This beach is known to be one of the most popular beaches in the downtown
Chicago loop area and is always packed with tons of people in the summer. People
are always looking for ways to avoid thinking about the sun, and North Avenue
beach is the perfect place to be to avoid your thoughts on the extremely hot
weather. I love to feel my feet soak into the soft, warm sand. There are volleyball
nets set up in the sand, so I always make sure I have a ball to play. I can play
volleyball for hours on the sand, although when I finish, my wrists are as red as
tomatoes. After I play volleyball, I prepare myself to get in the water. The water is
always cold of course. But, on a hot and humid day, the temperature of the water
just right for me. There is also has a beach house shaped like a boat, where you can
go in and put your belongings in lockers or use the washroom. There are more
activities to do at North Avenue Beach other than playing volleyball and
swimming. You can tan, people watch, rent bikes to ride, rent jet skis or kayaks, or
grab a snack from the concessions stands that people set up. Many people rent
bikes to ride them down lake shore drive. On the other hand, many people also go
to North Avenue beach just to buy food. I love to buy funnel cakes. I always get a

Beyonce Halo Poem Analysis
Beyonce Knowles is a well known Grammy winning artist whose songs have been
featured in the Billboard Hot 100. This female singer and songwriter s hits have been
known to encourage feminist views and female empowerment. Feminism, which first
gained popularity in the nineteenth century, is an ideology that advocates social,
political and economical rights for women. There are several types of feminism that
each seek to establish genderequality through different methods. Beyonce is credited
for having aspects of both cultural and radical feminism in her work. One of
Beyonce s top ten songs on the billboard, include Halo , a religious themed,
contemporary power ballad, with elements of gospel.

Cultural feminism has developed from radical feminism but hold many opposing
views. It is an ideology that uses female nature or female essence to commend the
positive aspects of feminine personality. It is based on an essentialist view of
differences between men and women. An example of a cultural feminist would be
Amber Rose, an actress and model who features and various hip hop music videos
and etc. She uses her female physical assets to promote womanhood. She created a
campaign where her and several others lead the first ever SlutWalk in Los Angeles,
which was a huge empower success that reminded people that My Clothes Are Not
My Consent. Cultural feminists also believe that all Western religions do not meet
the needs of women. In Pre Christian European religions however, divine feminine
characters are more prevalent. Before we begin to apply this feminist theory to the
song s religious themes, we
Reflection Of The EQ Radio
2a) My computational artifact represents the EQ Radio. Researchers from MIT s
CSAIL have developed a device that can determine people s emotions by analyzing
reflections in wireless signals. Using RF waves to measure heartbeat and breathing,
researchers can figure out how you re feeling[1]. In my picture, the EQ Radio[4] can
be seen bouncing wirelesssignals[5] off of the patient s body[5] and using reflected
signals to deduce their heart rate, breathing patterns, and other factors that are
symptomatic of certain emotions[4]. Unlike other emotiondetection systems, EQ
Radio doesn t rely on typical emotional cues, like facial expressions, which are not
always reliable. Instead, it works like this: The EQ Radio sends out a wireless signal
that bounces off your body. The reflection measures not only your breathing, but also
your heart rate.
2b)To create my computational artifact representing the EQ Radio, I used the
program Microsoft Paint. First, I took an image of the EQ Radio on Google
Images and copy and put it on a blank canvas[4]. Then, I found some images of the
signals the EQ Radio uses and put those into the canvas as well[4]. Then, I drew
arrows from each box to a text box where I explained how the signal contributes to
the emotion reading. Lastly, used the pencil tool to draw the signals bouncing off of
an image of a person from Google Images[5].

involuntary changes in your body s behavior,

I was raised in Nacogdoches, Texas, which is known for its small town atmosphere
and Stephen F. Austin State University. Due to being a small town, Nacogdoches
lacked advanced placement courses; therefore, most my time was spent in non
challenging course work. When I attended SFA as a dual credit student I
experienced a minor shock, SFA was a step up from Nacogdoches High School;
however, I quickly adapted and worked harder to maintain the pace of my peers.
When I finally got accepted to Texas A M University I again faced the same
academic obstacle, and experienced major setbacks and failures. After my first
semester of college I received a 2.7 gpa and received my first C in a class. Feelings
of defeat and confusion overcame me my goals of attending medical school
appeared to diminish before my eyes. I questioned my work ethic and intelligence.
Despite the feelings of failure, I never let myself fall into despair, and I moved
forward. Every semester following my first semester at A M I improved over time;
however, the in the Spring 2016 I finally overcame my academic hurdle and made my
best grades to date. It has taken time to develop qualitative techniques to retain

The first side effect of kidney transplantation is infections. Infections are divided into:
bacterial, viral, and fungal.21 In general, infections may happen in the first six
months because patients have a weak immunity system.21 Due to bacterial infection,
Pneumocystis and opportunistic infection and bacterial urinary tract infection, which
is the most common side effect, may occur.21 Other patients may suffer from viral
infection.21 They could get the virus from the transplant of the donors kidney to the
patients.21 For example, BK viral occurs in the urine and can cause inflammation and
stricture in the ureter .21 Furthermore, fungal infection is another side effect of
kidney transplantation.21 It may cause urinary infection, esophagitis, or invasive
fungal infection.21Yet, these infections are rare.21 To avoid these infections, patients
should eat healthy food and do exercises. The second side effect of kidney
transplantation is cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is common in patients who
have had kidney transplantation.22 There are several causes that lead to CVD in
patients with transplanted kidney. One cause is diabetes. After the surgery, some
Status Hierarchy In One Flew Over The Cuckoo s Nest
Throughout the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo s Nest, you see many examples of
status hierarchy, depersonalization, adjustment, and institutionalization. These
patients are subject to anything people in charge tell them to do. Adjusting to the
system is very hard, especially when you are surrounded by others with different
minds. Status hierarchy is how you are looked at by others that surround you.
Depending on your placement or status, you will be looked at differently. One
example of status hierarchy is Harding, he likes to have complete control in most
situations and believes he is above most due to his mindset being no as messed up.

Executive Summary
Business for Lee Valley s gardening line has been stable for the past couple of years,
especially in 2009 and 2010. The number of customers, average yearly order and the
average order value has been the same for these two years. To meet our sales
objective of increasing gross sales by 2.5%, we will be focusing our marketing
efforts on a specific segment. This particular segment consists of individuals who are
over the age of 45 with a passion for gardening.
People in this segment are likely to be retiring in the near future, which implies
that they will have the income and leisure time to work on their gardening
projects. By targeting this segment, we are attempting to increase their average
yearly orders and average order value, which will eventually drive up sales. Since this
group of individuals already possess a strong passion for gardening and are already
Lee Valley s best customers, we believe that the desire and need to purchase
additional products will increase as this segment is retired, or will be retiring in due
course.

interviews are a good way to understand other persons constructions of reality... and
to ask them in such a way that they can tell us in their terms and in a depth which
addresses the rich contect that is the substance of their meanings. You are also

asked. The questions used within the interview will be of a semi structure basis as
Lambert (2012, p.104) states, the researcher prepares the main questions
beforehand, but during the interview may ask additional questions, or additional
topics. This allows the researcher to gain more understanding of what the
participants opinion is, and also ask about topics which the researcher may not be
aware of that have been brought up during the interview. The questions will also
consist of open and closed questions, as Palgrave (no date) states if you ask open
questions you could elicit an almost endess number of responses which allows for the

The Concept of Comparative Advantage
The comparative advantage The concept of the comparative advantage was first
coined in 1817 by economist David Ricardo, in his On the principles of political
economy and taxation. The underlying idea of the comparative advantage theory is
that the countries possess different resources and capabilities and they can produce
some specific items in a more efficient manner than other countries can produce the
same items, or more efficiently that the same country can produce other items. In
such a setting then, the countries would best decide to produce the items for which
they possess a comparative advantage, and then exchange them within the
international market place, for items for the production of which they do not possess
a comparative advantage (Pullen, 2006). Today, the application of the comparative
advantage is revealed mostly at the level of the leading economic powers in the
world, who seek to create advantages in terms of exports, and as such maximize their
gains (Acharya, 2008). The concept and application of the comparative advantage
theory has raised vast interest throughout the past century, and this interest is revealed
at both theoretical and well as practical level. Furthermore, as the modern day society
becomes more and more engaged in globalization and market liberalization, the
application of the comparative advantage theory is gaining more momentum. Within
the economic literature for instance, various researchers have approached the issue of

War on Terror . Subsequently, the invasion of Afghanistan and other military
operations resulted in the capture of high value targets with known connections to
terrorist organizations. While these events this had dramatic ramifications on geo
political landscape, American courts were also given the unenviable task of
determining if those captured by the U.S government were entitled to the rights and
privileges enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court in particular faced a
particular set of problems in confronting this issue. Precedent on the matter had been
established over fifty years earlier under far different circumstances that were unable
to reflect today s modern challenges. Secondly, the Court needed to determine
whether they had the jurisdictional authority to accept writs of habeas corpusfrom
detainees held in Guantanamo Bay Cuba. Historically, Lincoln s unilateral suspension
of habeas corpus during the Civil War was the first instance in which the courts had a
chance to review the indefinite detention of citizens of the United States. The

Keeping the same employee with a full benefits would cost Starbucks $1500 rater

Starbucks knew their prices are expensive and they did a great thing to solve this
problem by opening many stores and provide a nice atmosphere to their customers
by serving many kinds of snack, cold and hot beverages, sandwiches. Customers
say one of the reason they come to Starbucks it because they can discover new
things, a new coffee from Rwanda, a new food item. The solutions that I
considered is Starbucks need to pay attention to their customers feedback for the

Starbucks need to find a solution with their product price since their price is much
more expensive than other competitors like Dunkin Donuts. Most of the people

Why Mitochondria And The Cell With Versatile Operating...
Abstract:
Although mitochondria and chloroplasts encodes handful of their own proteins,
however, majority of their required proteins have to be synthesized in the cytosol and
translocated into their correct destinations using specialized transporting networks:
TOM/TIM complexes in mitochondria and TOC/TIC complexes in chloroplasts.
Molecular chaperones play critical roles in facilitating functional competent protein
import from the cytosol to their correct destinations, utilizing catalytic motor
components and other transporting channels. Biogenesis of both mitochondria and
chloroplasts and their maintenances in terms of transcription, translation and protein
import into their various numerous compartments requires very tight coordination to
overcome energetic barriers, protein aggregation and protein degradation. This essay
describes molecular chaperones involvement in protein import from the cytosol into
these double membraned organelle compartments.
Introduction:
Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell with versatile operating systems (i.e.
converts energy derived from foods into cellular energy e.g. ATP, Amino Acid and
lipid metabolisms, iron sulphur clusters and haem biosynthesis, and also the
regulation of apoptosis) (Harbauer et al., 2014, Bolender et al., 2008, Wiedemann et
al., 2004). Equally, chloroplasts are also very versatile and operates several
metabolic and cellular processes (i.e. photosynthesis, amino acid and lipid metabolism

Los Angeles And Chicago Angeles
Los Angeles and Chicago are two American cities that have a long history with gang
violence. In the 1940 s the city of Los Angeles was experiencing a significant boom
in the African American and Latino populations. During this time, there was also a
massive influx of Caucasians into the Los Angeles area. The Caucasians wanted to
keep African Americans and Latinos who they called Zoot Suiters out of their
neighborhoods, so they formed a white gangcalled the Spook Hunters . The formation
of the Spook Hunters increased racial tensions in Los Angelesexponentially and
caused a surge in violence between the white gang members and ethnic minorities.
During this time period the Ku Klux Klan had an active presence in the white
neighborhoods of Los Angeles which significantly increased racial tensions. In the
1950 s and 1960 s African American and Latino gangs expanded and became more
territorial and violent. To this date gang related violence remains a constant in the
day to day lives of Los Angeles residents. Chicago history of gangs begins in 1860 s
with Caucasians of different ethnic backgrounds. A pivotal moment in race relations
in Chicago occurred when Regan Colts, a white gang, drowned an African American
boy in Lake Michigan on July 27th, 1919 (White 25). This incident led to the first
racial riots in Chicago where gang members openly attacked each other. Since that
incident Chicago has experienced ongoing gang violence. In fact in Chicago gang
related violence appears
Why High School Basketball Players Should Go To College
What would you do? Spend at least one year in college and go to the NBA, or play
overseas in Europe and Asia, play with seasoned veterans, earn a paycheck then go
to the NBA? In the year 2006, the NBA and the National Basketball Players
Association (NBPA) agreed to a rule that would only allow players that were at least
one year removed from high schooland were at least 19 years of age. This rule caused
much controversy among fans, players, and league executives. I believe players
should spend at least one year in collegebefore declaring for the NBA draft.
The first reason a high school basketball prospect should go to college instead of
going overseas is because, they would have to adjust to a totally new culture. ESPN

Playing well on a good college team in the tournament could increase your draft
stock tremendously. Rather than being a backup on a bad Euroleague team
scoring 5 points per game. Take Malachi Richardson for example. Malachi
Richardson, a wing for the Syracuse Orange, his team made the tournament, but
most thought they would not make it very far. Richardson was not considered a
first rounder in the 2016 draft, but after many wins and Richardson leading
Syracuse to the Final Four his draft stock skyrocketed and was seen by some to be
a potential lottery pick in the draft (lottery is within the first 14 picks). He eventually
ended up getting picked at No.22 overall by the Charlotte Hornets. Bottom line is
that, going to college can help because then NBA scouts don t have to go to a
different country.
And the third reason is, if you do not think realistically that you will be drafted, you
still have your scholarship and can stay all 4 years and study for a degree. If you are
considered a high draft prospect, then fail to live up to expectations, you can then
stay more years in college. You can stay more years and improve at basketball for
next year s draft. Or you can do both, stay all four years declare for the NBA draft,
and get your college degree. This is the best reason to go to college instead of going
overseas, because college is a privilege. Not

My Family

next door neighbours were having a Halloween gathering filled with drinks, an
overload of food, and deafening music. Seeing as the neighbours were also my
mum s mum and her sister, a whole heap of my extended family were there. This
included my cousins Grace and Mark, their parents, a few distant family members,
and some I hadn t even met before. Even though the house was overcrowded, I had a
lot of fun.
Soon it was getting late, and the adults were starting to get tipsy. Me, my sister, and
my other cousins headed back to my house where we played with fake blood and
makeup in our confined, second floor bathroom.
My sister Ruby, aged 11 at the time, was chosen to be the babysitter of us three little
kids. (Mark and I were nine, and Grace was six). Ruby painted Mark s face while
Grace and I watched from the side lines. After that, Ruby painted my face into a
dog. While Grace was getting her face painted, I sat in front of the doorway since it
was the only place a chair could fit in. It was shaping up to be an awesome night,
and I knew that I was never going to forget it.
So now we get to the scary part...
From the doorway of our bathroom, you could see the front entrance of the house.
As it was a crisp night after a hot day, we decided to leave the door open so that it
would let in a breeze. We had no clue that it would also let in in intruder.

Mitch Albom s The five people you meet in heaven is a phenomenal read. In
contrast to most books, this novel begins with Eddie s death. The most intriguing
element Albom used was detailing Eddie s life using the five people he met in
heaven. This story could have easily been a biography on Eddie where his most
memorable life events were listed. However, his story was told through five people,
whom s life was changed forever after meeting Eddie. In a series of flashbacks,
Eddie is told different perspectives of moments he experienced himself, and it gives
him an appreciation for those moments. Being that there were a number of quotes in
the book that were both inspirational as well as philosophical, choosing 3 5 was

I was sad because I didn t do anything with my life. I was nothing. I accomplished
nothing. I was lost. I felt like I wasn t supposed to be there. This was the internal
conflict that Eddie was struggling with due to the fact that he felt like he never
did anything in his life, this was because he had impacted so many lives, however
it simply went unnoticed. His life played out exactly how it was supposed to.
Overall, I believe the book was a perfect example of the quote when you die, your
whole life flashes before your eyes. Told in the unique way of flashbacks, Eddie is
able to realize his impact on others. Moments that may have initially struck him as
another day of his boring life, he gained insight through the other five people that
put meaning to specific moments. The five people you meet in heaven is a book
that could save someone s life. Opening my eyes to a different perspective on life.
You re never alone, and that is comforting for most people who believe that they are
by themselves on this earth. Scenery without solace is meaningless, and for some

Eating Disorders And The Media
Eating Disorders and the Media Eating disorders have become a major problem
throughout the world, specifically in the United States. The key factor that has an
influence on eating disorders is the media. Including people of all ages and
genders, up to twenty four million people suffer from an eating disorder in the
United States (ANAD np). This is a huge problem in the world today but what
makes it so much worse is the fact that it can be prevented and it is in our control
to change it. Young adults look to these celebrities, which are often their role
models, and try to look just like them. What they fail to remember is the fact that
celebrities have a lot of money, money that can afford nutritionists and personal
trainers. They also fail to remember the extensive measures the celebrities may
have to go through to look the way they do. An example of extensive measures can
be considered plastic surgery. Ultimately, this creates a false goal that is almost
unattainable for the average or regular person. Overall, the media has overtaken a
huge impact on what the ideal body image has become today. Eating disorders are
still on the rise and it is proven that an eating disorder such as anorexia affects up to
5 percent of women from ages 15 30 years old ( Media, Body Image, and Eating
Disorders | National Eating Disorders Association np ). This may not seem that
significant but it is also not considering other eating disorders such as bulimia. All in

Object 1: The Moon
Next to the Sun, the moon is the most recognizable object in the night sky, and is
Earth s only natural satellite. It has been estimated that the moon formed somewhere
in the region of 4.45 billion years ago, just a measly 30 50 million years after the
origination of the Solar System. While there are many hypotheses that try to account
for the formation of the moon, the one that is backed the greatest is the theory that
the moon was formed when a large mass roughly the size of Mars collided with the
newly formed Earth, this sending out planetary material into the same orbit of the
Earth. This material then underwent the process of accretion and formed what we
now know as the moon. With modern laser altimetry, scientists have been able to
accurately measure the topography of the moon. The most apparent topographic
feature on the moon is located on the southern pole, is referred to as the Aitken
basin, and stretches nearly 1400 miles in diameter. This is the largest crater on the
moon and the largest known crater in the Solar System. Not only is this the widest
crater on the moon, but its floor is also the lowest point on the surface of the moon.
The dark spots that are visible with the naked eye are called maria, and they are
actually hardened pools of ancient basaltic lava. Next to the maria, the most
commonly seen features of the moon are the impact craters that pepper the entire
surface.

The Reformation And Martin Luther And The Protestant...
The Reformation, also called Protestant Reformation. It is the religious revolution
that took place in the Western church in the 16th century. Its greatest leaders
undoubtedly were Martin Luther and John Calvin. Having reached political
economic, and social effects, the Reformation became the basis for the founding of
Protestantism, one of the three major branches of Christianity. The movement began
by Martin Luther when he made his dramatic stand quickly spread across Europe.
Within a short amount of time, new forms of religious practices, doctrines, and
organizations, including Zwinglianism, Calvinism, Anabaptism, and Anglicanism,
were attracting adherents all over Europe (spielvogel 366). Although it seemed very
helpless to stop the new Protestant churches, the Catholic churchalso underwent a
reformation and manage to revive its fortunes by the mid 16th century. Very soon the
doctrine divisions between Protestants and Catholics led to a series of religious wars
that dominated the history of western Europe in the second half of the 16th century.
The Reformation was not unprecedented. Martin Luther claimed that what had
distinguished him from previous reformers was that while they attacked corruption
in the life of the church, he went to the theological root of the problem. World War I,
also called the First World War or Great War. It was an international conflict that in

How Does The Big Deal With The Devil By Tom Walker
For a story by an author to be signified as a classic literature piece, it requires a
timeless feature which the main passage can echo throughout the ages.
Particularly, a relation to society s behavior and values. The characters, created by
Washington Irving, most especially Tom Walker, gives us an insight on how his
life centered predominantly on wealth up to the point where he is consumed by
temptation. Tom Walker s engagement in a deal with the Devil portrays how
money driven society has become more prominent through the times of the 1700s
and today s world. Furthermore, we begin to identify the characteristics of the
society in the 1700s, through Tom s character and his relationships by recognizing
how he converses with the Devil. Stumbling across the Devil by taking an
unfamiliar shortcut, Tom doesn t see the big deal approaching the devil and
appears to be unfazed. Your grounds, no more your ground than mine, they belong
to Deacon Peabody . In effect, Tom gives a snappy comeback at the devil since he
doesn t believe because he says the land belongs to him that it s his to keep. Due, to
living in a society where superstitions are believed to be true, Tom is familiar with
peculiar situations so much that it takes him a while to realize he stands in front of
the Devil, who appears to be nonchalant. Moreover, they then begin discussing Mr.
Peabody s wealth, hence he is well known throughout town with Tom questioning how
he obtained such wealth. For the

core values in check; will eventually met the evil of his own demise that will
destroy him. Knowing his own vulnerabilities, and how to restrain himself from
falling victim to the available vices will save him from his own ruins. The point of

quick, nor should he allow himself to express fear. Controlling his emotions to an

friendships come without a purchase price, They gift of friendship is earned
whereas being feared, there is no respect or friendship. However, being loved
Machiavelli prescribes that this is, Preserved by a link of obligation (pg. 103).
Knowing limits and boundaries is also a must; going after another person s property

the initial seductive appeal of their wealthy lives e.g. rosy coloured porch and cool

negative turn of events), Nick realises that their lives are not perfect after all; Tom is
unfaithful and Daisy is childish, selfish and spoilt. This further demonstrates the
disenchantment i.e. by the illusory first impressions giving way to a flawed nature.

Chemical Weapons In The Iran-Iraq War
Chemical weapons have been used in warfare for years and years. From both
world wars to more recent wars, chemical weapons have been developed and used.
For the purpose of this writing, we will specifically be looking at the chemical
weapons used in World War I and the Massacre at Halabja during the Iran/Iraq War
of 1988. We will take a look at the weapons used in these wars, the number of
casualties from these weapons and lessons learned. We will also discuss the
potential use of these agents by terrorists and how emergency management
officials can help a county or state prepare for this type of attack. First, let s take a
look at the Massacre at Halabja during the Iran/Iraq war in 1988. The Iran/Iraq war
was a war that was started in... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This was a global war that started in Europe. It was fought from July 28, 1914 until
November 11, 1918. Between the Axis and the Allies, there were approximately 50
chemical weapons that were used, or tried, during World War I
. These chemicals were
reported to be the cause of less than one percent of the fatalities in the war and
around seven percent of the casualties that occurred. The strategic power of
chemical weapons in WWI was in the psychological terror they caused rather than
the number of soldiers they killed. (c en 100 Years of Chemical Weapons). Some of
the well known chemical weapons that were used during World War I were tear
gases, chlorine, phosgene and mustard. Tear gas agents are known to cause crying,
coughing and respiratory difficulties to those affected. In WWI, tear gas was first
used in 1914 by France against the Germans. There were no documented fatalities
with this chemical weapon. Chlorine was first used as a chemical weapon in WWI
in 1915. It was used by the Germans against the British in Yrpes. In its first use,
chlorine caused more than 1,100 fatalities. Later on in the war, the effects of
chlorine were diminished due to the use of gas masks. Another chemical agent that
was used in WWI was phosgene gas. The proteins in the lungs react with phosgene
and cause those affected to suffocate. Just as with the chlorine gas, phosgene was
first used in 1915 against the British at Yrpes. Phosgene is estimated to have
caused approximately 85 percent of the fatalities from chemicals in WWI. Mustard
gas was another chemical used in WWI. Mustard gas is a blister agent that can
also damage the eyes and the respiratory system. The German forces were the first
to use the mustard gas. They first used it against the British in July of 1917 at
Yrpes. Only 2% 3% of those affected died. It was better at debilitating people than it
was at killing them. Many chemicals were used in WWI. Some of those caused some

Our aim is to provide critical reviews on the latest, most significant developments in
selected topic areas that are at the cutting edge of the application of computers in
fisheries and their application to the conservation and management of aquatic
resources. In many cases, these are the same authors who contributed to the first
edition, so the decade of perspective they provide is unique and insightful. Many of
the topics in this book cover areas that were predicted in 1989 to be important in the
future (Walters 1989) and continue to be at the forefront of applications that drive
our science forward: image processing, stock assessment, simulation and games, and
networking. The chapters that follow update these areas as well as introduce several
new chapter topic areas. While we recognize the challenge of attempting to present up
to date information given the rapid pace of change in computers and the long time
lines for publishing books, we hope that the chapters in this book taken together, can
be valuable where they suggest emerging trends and future directions that impact the
role computers are likely to serve in fisheries research.

Money Laundering Essay
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, money laundering is the process by
which one conceals the existence, illegal source, or illegal application of income
and then disguises that income to make it appear legitimate. Money laundering
involves a three step process which includes placement, layering and integration
(Albrecht et al, 2009). Placement is the first step and it includes the launderer
opening up an account at a bank or some other type of financial business to make
deposits with the illegal money. The placement step is often looked at as the most
risk taking step because the launderer does not know the reaction of the bank and
how they are going to accept a large cash deposit. If the deposit is too large the bank
can... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Money Laundering According to Hopton (2009), the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 was
created in order to prevent money laundering. The act was made to try to discourage
illegal acts such as money laundering from happening and to deter the criminals from
even thinking about committing the crime. Woods (1998) stated that money
laundering was not a criminal offense at the time the Bank Secrecy Act was passed.
The act provides information on the movement of money through financial
institutions in the United States and it monitors the movement of money into and out
of the United States. It requires banks and other financial businesses to help the
government in trying to prevent and detect money laundering. The federal
government law enforcement agencies use the information gathered through the
Bank Secrecy Act to detect criminal activities and regulatory violations. These
businesses are required to keep track of all of their cash transactions of ten thousand
dollars and more and report them to the IRS within forty five days. These transactions
could include anything such as deposits, withdrawals, exchanges, payments, multiple
transactions in one day and any cash deposits over the weekend or holidays (Woods,
1998). They also have to identify individuals who are requesting these large
transactions and keep any records that relate to their transactions.
Ford Pinto Ethics
Ford Pinto Case Study and Engineering Ethics The first Fundamental Canon of the
NSPE code of ethics demands engineers to advocate the welfare of the public and
avert transgressions of safety and health. In the 1970 s, the engineers who tested
the rear end crash tests of Pinto prototype models realized that the vehicle s safety
standard was only acceptable to the more lenient current regulations for safety
requirements in rear end collisions. But, the vehicle could not pass the higher and
upcoming 20 miles perhour crash standards. Since Ford was too eager to sell Pinto
cars, lack of future up to date safety regulations were overlooked, leading to the
action of falsifying EPA emission data. This was dishonest to patrons which definitely

Reflecting on Applegate s situation, poor inspection and delay of relaying vital safety

The Importance Of Human Communication And Health...
In all healthcare, there must be a form of commutation between patient and doctor.
Depending on the information you provide to someone can alter their life either in a
positive or a negative way. As stated on Foundations for Understanding
Communications in Healthcare Settings , Effective interpersonal communication
skills are said to be a gateway to the development of other important life skills .
(Pg.1 Peter) Not only will be able to communicate to patients adequately but you will
be able to communicate with you friends and family better. If communication with a
patient isn t clarified the patient can treat their self s wrong and could possible cause
there underlining condition to worsen or get to a point to where it isn t treatable.
Some words might be identifying differently with specific meaning to someone from
the United Kingdom from the United States.
There are two different forms of communication that is commonly used. Human
Communication and Health Communication. Human communication is how
individuals interact with other people through representative behavior through
language. Health communication is any type of human communication whose
content is concerned with health (Pg. 3 Peter)
Health care in general is unpredictable anything can happen at any point and time.
Health Care providers usually have their own view of what the patient needs at that
current time. Hospitals and clinics have a powerful structure. Physicians and other

Use Of The Abacus Script By Leiden Huber And Denise
Tran
How to Use the Abacus Script
Created By: Leiden Huber and Denise Tran
Leiden: Hi. Today we are going to show you how to use the abacus and tell you a
couple background details about it too.
Denise: The abacus is also known as the saunpan (calculating pan) and was created
by a mathematician named Cheng Dawei. He created it during the Ming Dynasty
which was in reign from 1368 1644 B.C. and is known as the Fifth Invention of
China. The Chinese abacus is very similar to the Roman abacus and was thought to be
influenced by it.
Leiden: The typical abacus is about 20 centimeters high and comes in varying
widths depending on how many rods it has (usually has 7 or more rods). Its beads
are usually rounded and made of hardwood making them able to last for a long
time. Lastly, the most important fact to know about the abacus is that is has 2
beads in the in the upper deck which have a value of 5 and 5 beads in the lower deck
which each have a value of 1.
Denise: The bars outside of our abacus is called the frame and the bar separating the
top and bottom row is called the beam. Each section is also called a deck. These are
very important terms to know when talking about the abacus.
Leiden: Now you know some facts about the abacus history; next we ll show you
now to do basic calculations using the abacus. The first form of calculation I will
show you how to do is adding on the abacus. This one is very basic and you should
be able to do it in no time. Before you start your addition
Essay about Puerto Rican Migration to Nyc
Christine CostanzoPuerto Rican Migration to New York City
The story of the Puerto Rican people is unique in the history of U.S. immigration,
just as Puerto Rico occupies a distinctive and sometimes confusing position in the
nation s civic fabric. Puerto Rico has been a possession of the U.S. for more than a
century, but it has never been a state. Its people have been U.S. citizens since 1917,
but they have no vote in Congress. As citizens, the people of Puerto Rico can move
throughout the 50 states just as any other Americans can legally, this is considered
internal migration, not immigration. However, in moving to the mainland, Puerto
Ricans leave a homeland with its own distinct identity and culture, and the transition

factory owners and employment agencies had begun recruiting heavily on the island.
In addition, the postwar years saw the return home of thousands of Puerto Rican war
veterans, whose service in the U.S. military had shown them the world. But perhaps
the most significant cause was the sudden availability of affordable air travel. After
centuries of immigration by boat, the Puerto Rican migration became the first great
airborne migration in U.S. history. The first great generation of Puerto Rican
migrants established communities in cities throughout the country, including
Chicago, Philadelphia, and Newark, as well as in mid Atlantic farm villages and the
mill towns of New England. However, since the 1930s, the capital of Puerto Rican
culture in the mainland U.S. has been New York City. Despite its great distance from
the Caribbean, New York had long been the landing point of seagoing Puerto Ricans,
and the airborne newcomers followed suit. The new migrants settled in great numbers
in Northeast Manhattan, in a neighborhood that soon became known as Spanish
Harlem. Although many had been farm workers in Puerto Rico, they know found
themselves working in a wide variety of jobs, staffing the hospitals, the hotels, the
garment factories, and the police departments of their new hometown, and they soon
became a significant force in the city s political and cultural life. The migration to the
50 states slowed
Examples Of Transcendentalism In Poetry
The Symbolism behind the Music
The music consists a unique blend of sanity. The girl s singing voice is not a work
of any masterpiece in anyway, neither is it outstanding enough to be performed in
front of a great audience. It is nothing but a mediocre singing by a lone reaper,
which should logically have no profound sense of philosophy. Yet, her voice
provides the tune a brand new significance, which pours into the listener s psyche,
and the melody depicts the very heart and soul of the reaper.
The Poetic Philosophy of the Poet
Solitude, tranquility and melancholy have a closely entwined relation. Melancholy is
a state of emotion, and it often originates from loneliness. William Wordsworths
demonstration of self proclaimed isolation is not only to enhance the melancholy of a
dormant heart, but it aims to enlighten the unsuspecting reader with solitude and
transcendentalism. Therefore, being alone can allow a person to ponder and
contemplate in silence, let go of sadness, and dive into a state of meditation and
introspection. In this manner, solitude can act as a cathartic way of healing a broken
soul and mind. Quite similar to Rousseau, who employs meditation in ... Show more

The poet experiences the sense of loneliness deep within himself and writes about the
experience. The feelings of solitude have deeply planted roots including both factors
of time and personal experiences. It also had a significant impact on the poetic theory
of Wordsworth. As a poet always against tradition, Wordsworth fearlessly abandons all
the shallowness of extreme classism, and chooses to describe plain and mediocre
things, which urges people to return to the roots of genuine life, and also enlightens
them through nature and its subliminal
Compare And Contrast The Spanish Maritime Empires
The Early Modern Period was a time of growth and development for many empires
over the globe, but namely two empires saw significant changes in their empire as the
Early Modern Period advanced. The Ottoman and Spanish maritime empires saw
significant changes, whether successes or failures, in their respective empires as the
period continued. Both empires held similar political ideologies for success through
conquest, possessed different ideologies towards religion and its importance within
the empire, and ultimately saw a devastating demise due to their own administrations

The Spanish maritime empire viewed Christianity as an aspect of their lives that only
religion that played a guiding role in society as well as government. Rulers Ferdinand
and Isabella believed in the elimination of any and all religious and ethnic divisions
that divided the empire. Conquistadors carried this ideology and goal with them in
their travels to the Americas. The empire conquered much of the Americas through
conquistadors whose primarily goal was to serve God by converting the inhabitants of
the Americas, who they believed to be a barbaric people in need of Christianity. The
Spaniards converted the inhabitants with a strict conversion method in which they
either converted to Christianity. If the people refused, they would be killed. The
Spanish maritime empire was intolerant of any different religions, unlike the Ottoman
Empire. Although the empire was Islamic, the Ottoman Empire was very tolerant of
other religions. Islam was an aspect of society within the empire, but it did not play a
significant part in the political ideology of the empire. The Ottomans conquered not
with the idea of religion in mind but to establish a powerful stance within the region.
Although the society mainly had Islamic religious leaders and Muslim traders as
The Pros And Cons Of Western Christianity
When people close their eyes and try to picturize Jesus, generally a singular image
comes to mind. A godly figure with blonde hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. This image
is similar to what is seen in many popular Western paintings in museums like the 16th
century painting, Christ Among the Doctors by artist Albrecht Durrer. In this
painting the fair skinned Jesuslooks celestial and divine amongst the dark, sinister
Jewish scholars. But what all of these famous pieces of art have in common is that
they fail to portray who Jesus truly was: a practicing Jewish man from Nazareth,
Israel. As Jesus was a Jew from Israel, historically it would be impossible for him to
look like his fair skinned Northern European devotees. Although the Bible and many
... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Judaism and Islam in particular practice aniconism, the custom in which there are
no physical depictions of their God or entities relating to God. There are also no
physical descriptions of how they look in religious texts either. This makes it very
easy for people around the world practice the religion and feel included. Since there
is no physical depiction, every devotee is free to contextualize the religion in any
way relating it to themselves. However that is not the only option. Some religions
like Hinduism have gods that are depicted in colors that do not pertain to any
particular race. Although Hinduism is widely popular in India, the physical
depictions do not only pertain to Indians. Many pieces of Hindu art displays gods
like Krishna or Vishnu as blue gods. The god Hanuman is also sometimes depicted
to be a red god in popular forms of Hindu art and in many sculptures. Unlike these
religions, since physical depictions of Christian art do not adhere to all people of all
skin tones, many people may leave the Christian Church. Since one of the main goals
of the Christian Church is to expand the religion and recruit new followers, this can
be an issue if many people around the world cannot identify with their own religion.
Thus in order to keep expanding the Church and staying true to Christ s mission, the
Church must either educate its followers

Analysis of the Use, Importance and Implementation of A Data Dictionary
Introduction
Data dictionaries have evolved into one of the most transformational and valuable
components of databases architectures given the increasingly complex integration,
data analysis and data management tasks enterprises need to accomplish. The use,
importance and implementation of data dictionaries are analyzed and explored with
specific focus on their use in enterprises who have intensive information and
intelligence management needs daily.
Analyzing the Uses of of Data Dictionaries
The data dictionary has evolved from being a repository of fundamental database
attributes, data models and definitions of elements, files, records, users to a critical
framework component for enabling application, data and system integration
(Stonebraker, 2010). Data dictionaries have evolved to fill the need enterprises have
for unifying and integrating diverse, often previously siloed databases and legacy
systems together, creating more agile, advanced and comprehensive data models that
define a business entire value chain (Asscher, 1984). Integrating customer and sales
data across the enterprise has led to Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
systems becoming more effective in attracting, selling and serving prospects and
customers both. At a system architectural level, the data dictionary acts as the catalyst
of Master Data Management (MDM) integration which integrates siloed, legacy
systems to make

A positive first impression can be thought of as the first step in building a long term

A good rule to follow is to dress for the job you want, not the job you have. If you
are currently a bank teller and want to become a branch manager, identify the
successful branch managers and emulate their manner of dress.
If you want respect, you have to dress as well as or better than your industry
standards.
One would expect to find conservative dress standards in banking, insurance,
accounting, and law, and more casual dress standards in advertising, sports
entertainment and agriculture. Spend time researching the dress and grooming
standards in the industry in which you hope find a job.
Selecting Your Career Apparel
Companies that have initiated extensive career apparel programs rely on uniforms to
project an image of consistent quality, good services and uniqueness.
For example men worker rules include, no beard, and dress shirts with coordinated
ties. Female employee rules includes the skirt length (must not be shorter than two
inches above the knew), and also stockings.
The company requires employees to follow the rules in order to maintain the personal
appearance and grooming standards give it a marketing advantage.
The uniform worn by employees by clerk, and the employees at restaurant were
classified as career apparel.

Should Drinking Age Be Moved To 21 Essay
The drinking age should not be moved to 21, some people are suggesting moving it
to age 18. Even some states agree with the people. This law will only apply to beer.
Liquor will not be included do to high Alcohol percentage. People are against it
because they think the under age drinkers will not be responsible enough to take
care of the, selves or other people around them. People think, lowering the drinking
age will cause lots of problems in the community. Today s adults are still waiting
for the youth to show them how responsible we are without drinking before we
grab a beer and drink it. Living without being concern if we re safe or not, is not just
a stereotype. Stories about teenaged robberies and violence are all over the place, so
why should we give these children what they want? People who are against

Alcohol addiction, or alcoholism, is a big problem amongst many drinkers. Many
persons who are now alcoholics started drinking before the current drinking age,
making them there slave, drink after drink. Lowering the drinking age would only
increase the number of clinical alcoholics and further damage the families and
people who don t drink. But drinking addiction is not the worst thing alcohol will do
to you and your body. A study on the effects of drinking on the minds of young adults
and teenagers was recently published in Alcoholism: Clinical Experimental Research

the size and functionality of the pre frontal cortex, which is the region of the human
brain that controls decision making. The same study went to
Western Civilization and Happiness and Justice
How can Western Civilization avert decline and promote happiness and justice? In
a world of political and celebrity scandals from the raunchy to the greedy, our
culture is full of corruption and an obsession with fame. Henrik Ibsen s Hedda
Gabler and Sylvia Plath s The Colossus both explore the West s moral blindness and
our paralysis of feeling and thought in the twentieth century. Western civilization is
becoming a wildfire fueled by tragic ignorance, societal norms and corruption. This
must be exposed in order for any cultural epiphany to occur.
Judge Brack is the definition of the colossus in Hedda Gabler. He is someone people
trust and build up to be an honorable and insightful leader, but in the end he is a
vulgar and immoral individual full of Dionysian corruption, and lacking any
apollonian qualities. Brack throws frequent stag parties that eventually evolve
into wild nights of debauchery. He and the men he invite drink and participate in
orgies. While at night he is an unrefined sexual animal, during the day he is the
definition of justice and trust. During his interactions with Hedda he reveals his
deep misogynistic beliefs and his sense of power over her. Instead of letting her
display her power through her pistols, he treats her like a child telling her that we
ll have no more of that kind of fun today, (249). He knows that she feels trapped in
the cultural norm of marriage, but he enjoys poking at her and making her feel weak
as a woman. He is allowed to go

Essay About A Book

  • 1. Essay About A Book Writing an essay about a book may seem deceptively simple at first glance, as one might assume that all it requires is a brief summary and personal opinions. However, delving into the intricacies of crafting a thoughtful and engaging essay on this topic can reveal its inherent challenges. Firstly, selecting the right book becomes a crucial task. Choosing a book that not only resonates with the writer but also offers ample material for analysis and discussion is pivotal. This process involves a careful consideration of various literary elements, themes, and the author's style, adding a layer of complexity to the initial phase of the essay-writing journey. Once a book is chosen, the challenge lies in striking a balance between summarizing the plot and providing insightful analysis. Avoiding a mere retelling of the story while delving into the nuances of character development, plot structure, and underlying themes requires a keen analytical mind. Crafting a coherent and compelling argument that goes beyond surface-level observations demands a deep understanding of the book and its context. Moreover, integrating relevant quotes and textual evidence to support the arguments adds another layer of difficulty. Extracting meaningful passages from the book and seamlessly incorporating them into the essay to reinforce key points requires both literary acumen and a knack for effective expression. Structuring the essay is yet another hurdle to overcome. Organizing ideas logically, developing a strong thesis statement, and ensuring a smooth flow from one paragraph to another demand careful planning and meticulous execution. Striking the right balance between introduction, body, and conclusion while maintaining a coherent narrative is an art that requires practice and refinement. Additionally, achieving a distinctive voice and capturing the reader's attention pose ongoing challenges. Developing a writing style that is both engaging and reflective of one's own perspective on the book can be a formidable task. It's not just about narrating facts but about creating an immersive experience for the reader, making them see the book through the writer's unique lens. In conclusion, writing an essay about a book involves a multifaceted process that goes beyond mere summarization. It demands thoughtful analysis, careful selection of evidence, adept organization, and a distinctive writing style. The difficulty lies not only in understanding the book but also in presenting that understanding in a compelling and insightful manner. Mastering the art of crafting such essays requires time, effort, and a genuine passion for literature. For those seeking assistance with essays, it's worth noting that similar essays and more can be ordered on HelpWriting.net. Professional help can provide valuable insights, guidance, and support in navigating the complexities of essay writing, ensuring that the final result meets the desired standards.

  • 2. Grapheme Color Synesthesia Synesthesia was discovered back in the 1880s when Francis Galton described a condition where he thinks of numbers in visual imagery, which is known as synesthesia today. Synesthesia is the experience in which a stimulation of one sense triggers an additional sensory experience (Rothen Mejer, 2010). In other words, it is a condition where the senses are cross linked, and the experience is automatic and reliable (Rich, Bradshaw, Mattingley, 2005). A common type of synesthesia is called the grapheme colorsynesthesia, which is when people experience seeing colors when they come across any letters or numbers even though the font color is black. For instance, the letter A to a synesthete may be a red color, and the number three may be a blue... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The encoded stimulus is richer for synesthetes compared to people without synesthesia. Also there is a performance advantage when the subjects recall the spoken or written words (Gross, Neargarder, Caldwell Harris Cronin Golomb, 2011; Rothen Ward, 2012). In Gross et al. s (2011) study, they recruited nine color graphemic synesthetes using a standardized neuropsychological measure that would trigger color graphemic synesthesia for verbal tasks. One verbal test that they used was the Paired Verbal Associates test. For this test, participants were to learn eight pairs of standard shapes and nonsense shapes. Some trials had immediate recall or a 30 minute delay. In all trials, the synesthetic participants recalled the standard shape when presented with the nonsense shape. This test was altered to reduce potential differences between the participant s synesthesia and the colors, by exchanging the colored squares with the line drawings of familiar shapes. A one way ANOVA was conducted for each trial. It revealed that all synesthetes reached ceiling on trial 3 and 4 (M=5.0 +/ 1.7), while none of the control participants reached ceiling (M= 2.89 +/ 2.2). Their results were very similar to Rothen and Meier s (2010) results. For the most part, their findings supported the cue induced encoding/retrieval hypothesis. Significant results were elicited by the tests
  • 3. Guy Montag Character Analysis In the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the main character Guy Montag can be described as being on a journey. Throughout the whole story he drastically changes both mentally and physically. Montag lives in a corrupt society, where they believe in suppressing knowledge. In the novel, Guy is breaking away from the popular views, and forming his own opinions on the government. In his journey to his true self he hits many major milestones and realizations. A few are 1. He is not happy in his current life, and feels the need to explore and learn about other rebels like him. 2. Montag steals a book, which were banned at the time 3. He kills his boss in a final argument. These changes form a new Montag, a Montag that defies the rules and... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is such a big milestone because it was the first root, the first rebel thought that would eventually bring him down a path in which he could never return from. After Montag had been self reflecting he came to a conclusion that he needed to steal a book. His outlook on life had changed and he wanted to see what he had been missing all of the years he was a firefighter. He wanted to find out why books were banned, and what they hid beneath top secret covers. At this major point in the story Montag is burning a house down that was said to have books hidden inside. Although he had been burning houses for years, and he was supposed to go about it normally, he was appalled. Seeing his job in the light made him feel shocked and and disgusted by the people he used to call his friends. He takes it upon himself to steal a book from the house and bring it home with him. Montag felt the hidden book pound like a heart against his chest. Go on. Said the woman, and Montag felt himself back away and out the door, after Beatty, down the steps, across the lawn, where the path of kerosene lay like the track of some evil snail. This quote proves that this is a big milestone in the story. It shows that Montag is actually going through with stealing a book. He believes in knowledge enough so much that he will break a law to expose the government. Montag is now determined and has his mind set. This is a big
  • 4. Causes Of The Boston Massacre With revolution on the rise and independence in colonist minds, it starts to be clear that the definition of American is becoming more evident in British minds. With the first few acts such as the Stamp Acts, Quartering Acts, Tea Act, and etc., the British had placed on the colonists, the sense of patriotism becomes more common in all Americans. But the event of the Boston Massacre, which had troops of British soldiers fire upon a crowd of colonists, boosted the idea of freedom and furthered the hate of Britain by the colonists. This occurrence, although tragic, did help the colonists unite together and aided the revolution. It is unclear which side, colonists or the British, stimulated it into happening. However, I believe that the Americans are the ones to blame for this tragic event. The whole occurrence had the British holding the guns and shooting at the colonists but I feel that the colonists stimulated this affair. In different accounts of the massacre, it is stated that the colonists taunted the redcoats. Additionally, this protest was the result of the mercantilistic acts British imposed. The Boston Massacre initially started as an argument in Boston s customs house. However, tensions grew and finally the protests became more violent and the bullets flew into the crowd. In differing reports of this event, many of them state that something was thrown into one of the soldiers prompting the firing. According to Thomas Preston (Doc 2), the Captain of the troopers in
  • 5. American Hospital Corporation Introduction Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) is a proprietary hospital management company. The company has been following an acquisitive strategy by taking over hospital companies and not for profit hospitals. The firm is also considering expanding into new health service areas like home health care and outpatient surgery. The company is at a crossroads with regard to its financial goals; HCA currently faces the likelihood of adverse changes to the Medicare /Medicaid policy which could strain the company s profitability along with a substantial increase in financial leverage risks coupled with an increase in required expenditure to reap the effect of prospective operating synergies like economies of scale and scope from the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is because there is a lack of growth opportunities through acquisition and construction of new hospitals. HCA is expected to mature and become a cash cow by about 1987. At this stage, it is expected to incur limited capital expenditure. Instead, the company can be milked continuously from its existing operations and is expected to generate cash in excess of the amount required to maintain the business. Likely impact of proposed changes to prospective reimbursement One of the significant impacts of proposed changes to prospective reimbursement is that hospitals will be paid based on expected fixed rates rather than actually incurred costs. Hospitals will no longer be paid using cost plus basis (costs plus a certain percentage of profits based on costs). As a result of fixed rate payments to hospitals, there will be more incentive for hospitals to reduce costs and improve efficiency in order to maximise profits. The prospective reimbursement program will also result in hospitals not being able to recoup full amount of allowable interest expense. Instead, they can only recoup the interest tax shield portion of the interest expense. Investors
  • 6. Feminist Aspects Of Disney s Mulan Growing up 5 minutes outside of our nation s capital, I was surrounded by politics from a very young age. I was 4 years old playing on the playground across the street from my home, less than a mile away from the pentagon on September 11th, 2001. Like most school systems have drills to practice what to do in case of a tornado or earthquake, we also had drills to practice what to do in case there is an active shooter or another terrorist attack. Needless to say, growing up in in Arlington, Virginia, I was surrounded by people with various opposing views on each and every social, economic, and generally political issue in the book. I, myself, am not particularly one you will find at rallies, for either political party, on Capitol Hill or participating in the Women s March on Washington, or even sporting an I m With Her button on my chest last November. That being said, I, like every other individual, do have my own personal opinions, all of which will be kept to myself while writing my analysis on the feminist aspects of Disney s film, Mulan. Walt DisneyPicture s Mulan is a 1998 animated film based on the Chinese legend of La Mulan, taking place during the Han Dynasty. Mulan, the daughter of aged Chinese warrior Fa Zhou, is fearful that her ailing father will be drafted into the Chinese military. Being a woman, and thereby unqualified to serve, Mulan impersonates a man and goes off to military training, knowing it is of great risk to herself and her family s honor,
  • 7. A Comparison of Nihilistic and Christian Archetypes in... Grendel, Beowulf and the Relationship Between Nihilistic and Christian Archetypes The Wisdom god, Woden, went out to the king of trolls...and demanded to know how order might triumph over chaos. Give me your left eye, said the king of trolls, and I ll tell you. Without hesitation, Woden gave up his left eye. Now tell me. The troll said, The secret is, Watch with both eyes! Woden s left eye was the last sure hope of gods and men in their kingdom of light surrounded by darkness. All we have left is Thor s hammer, which represents not brute force but art, or, counting both hammerheads, art and criticism... The philosophies expressed in the Beowulf epic complement the exploration of existentialism throughout the modern work, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Beowulf (G), the hero, is able to identify Grendel (G) s pattern and destroy him. Since mankind could only defeat Grendel (G) by creating a hero more powerful than him, the hero represents a kind of process that ultimately creates a greater monster. Therefore, using these archetypes, Gardner and the Beowulf poet use the same story to illuminate the difference between ancient and modern society; Beowulf (AS) is the proper representative of the Anglo Saxon society, and Grendel (G) is the proper representative of the modern world. Grendel s role remains the same in both books; the role of a monster that embodies humanity s fears, a creature that human society creates. Grendel (AS) exists as a mindless perversion of nature. He represents one branch of the human society created by God that is distorted by evil. However Grendel (G) exists as just another aspect of nature, outside of human society; until he is transformed by his contact with mankind, the concept of monster does not apply to Grendel (G.) In viewing the monstrous body as a metaphor for the cultural body...beasts, demons, freaks, and fiends are symbolic expressions of cultural unease that pervades a society and shapes its collective behavior. (Cohen). This is especially true of Grendel (G), whose attempts to interact with
  • 8. Masculinity In The Wife Of Bath s Tale Oluwatosin Etuhoko ENGL 150 006 Alexandria Krause 20/10/17 The One That Narrates Has Sovereignty In Chaucer s The Canterbury Tales, The Wife of Bath s Tale is told as a Breton lai that to subtlety elucidates the desire women have for power. Ultimately, patriarchal medieval society is more accepting of a fairy confronting toxic masculinity, because a mystical creature does not emasculate a man the same way a woman would. This tactic, unfortunately, limits Alisoun s ideologies to the parameters of her fairytale. Alisoun, being the narrator, also gets away with sly critiques of societal roles of women by using literature as a weapon to balance the power of the sexes and disguising her own opinions as the fairy s. In medieval times, literature, such as the Holy Bible was used to discredit women as powerful. With her story, Alisoun is trying to do the same with men. In her story, she discredits the sovereignty of men by telling a tale of a wicked knight. She does this as a revolt against her late husband s, Jankin s, Book of Wikked Wyves (685). Alisoun s motives for telling this tale is evident in her prologue when she states, By God, it wommen hadde writen stories, / As clerks han withinne hire oratories, / They wolde han writen of men moore wikkednesse/ Than al the mark of Adam may redresse (693 696). She was clever in causing discord in an Arthurian tale which were male centered, where the king is a force for justice and order, and the knight was chivalrous and the

Many people who view Chicagoas a bad city, because of all the crime and murder rate, which is why people refer to Chicago as Chirac . Being born and raised in Chicago, I can tell you that Chicago is a much better city than most people view it as.

I love to feel my feet soak into the soft, warm sand. There are volleyball nets set up in the sand, so I always make sure I have a ball to play. I can play volleyball for hours on the sand, although when I finish, my wrists are as red as tomatoes. After I play volleyball, I prepare myself to get in the water.

  • 11. Beyonce Halo Poem Analysis Beyonce Knowles is a well known Grammy winning artist whose songs have been featured in the Billboard Hot 100. This female singer and songwriter s hits have been known to encourage feminist views and female empowerment. Feminism, which first gained popularity in the nineteenth century, is an ideology that advocates social, political and economical rights for women. There are several types of feminism that each seek to establish genderequality through different methods. Beyonce is credited for having aspects of both cultural and radical feminism in her work. One of Beyonce s top ten songs on the billboard, include Halo , a religious themed, contemporary power ballad, with elements of gospel.

Cultural feminism has developed from radical feminism but hold many opposing views. It is an ideology that uses female nature or female essence to commend the positive aspects of feminine personality. It is based on an essentialist view of differences between men and women. An example of a cultural feminist would be Amber Rose, an actress and model who features and various hip hop music videos and etc. She uses her female physical assets to promote womanhood. She created a campaign where her and several others lead the first ever SlutWalk in Los Angeles, which was a huge empower success that reminded people that My Clothes Are Not My Consent. Cultural feminists also believe that all Western religions do not meet the needs of women. In Pre Christian European religions however, divine feminine characters are more prevalent. Before we begin to apply this feminist theory to the song s religious themes, we
  • 12. Reflection Of The EQ Radio 2a) My computational artifact represents the EQ Radio. Researchers from MIT s CSAIL have developed a device that can determine people s emotions by analyzing reflections in wireless signals. Using RF waves to measure heartbeat and breathing, researchers can figure out how you re feeling[1]. In my picture, the EQ Radio[4] can be seen bouncing wirelesssignals[5] off of the patient s body[5] and using reflected signals to deduce their heart rate, breathing patterns, and other factors that are symptomatic of certain emotions[4]. Unlike other emotiondetection systems, EQ Radio doesn t rely on typical emotional cues, like facial expressions, which are not always reliable. Instead, it works like this: The EQ Radio sends out a wireless signal that bounces off your body. The reflection measures not only your breathing, but also your heart rate. 2b)To create my computational artifact representing the EQ Radio, I used the program Microsoft Paint. First, I took an image of the EQ Radio on Google Images and copy and put it on a blank canvas[4]. Then, I found some images of the signals the EQ Radio uses and put those into the canvas as well[4]. Then, I drew arrows from each box to a text box where I explained how the signal contributes to the emotion reading. Lastly, used the pencil tool to draw the signals bouncing off of an image of a person from Google Images[5]. 2c) The EQ Radio is a machine designed to read your emotions based off of involuntary changes in your body s behavior,

The first side effect of kidney transplantation is infections. Infections are divided into: bacterial, viral, and fungal.21 In general, infections may happen in the first six months because patients have a weak immunity system.21 Due to bacterial infection, Pneumocystis and opportunistic infection and bacterial urinary tract infection, which is the most common side effect, may occur.21 Other patients may suffer from viral infection.21 They could get the virus from the transplant of the donors kidney to the patients.21 For example, BK viral occurs in the urine and can cause inflammation and stricture in the ureter .21 Furthermore, fungal infection is another side effect of kidney transplantation.21 It may cause urinary infection, esophagitis, or invasive fungal infection.21Yet, these infections are rare.21 To avoid these infections, patients should eat healthy food and do exercises.

These patients are subject to anything people in charge tell them to do. Adjusting to the system is very hard, especially when you are surrounded by others with different minds. Status hierarchy is how you are looked at by others that surround you. Depending on your placement or status, you will be looked at differently.

The questions used within the interview will be of a semi structure basis as Lambert (2012, p.104) states, the researcher prepares the main questions beforehand, but during the interview may ask additional questions, or additional topics. This allows the researcher to gain more understanding of what the participants opinion is, and also ask about topics which the researcher may not be aware of that have been brought up during the interview.

  • 18. The Concept of Comparative Advantage The comparative advantage The concept of the comparative advantage was first coined in 1817 by economist David Ricardo, in his On the principles of political economy and taxation. The underlying idea of the comparative advantage theory is that the countries possess different resources and capabilities and they can produce some specific items in a more efficient manner than other countries can produce the same items, or more efficiently that the same country can produce other items. In such a setting then, the countries would best decide to produce the items for which they possess a comparative advantage, and then exchange them within the international market place, for items for the production of which they do not possess a comparative advantage (Pullen, 2006). Today, the application of the comparative advantage is revealed mostly at the level of the leading economic powers in the world, who seek to create advantages in terms of exports, and as such maximize their gains (Acharya, 2008). The concept and application of the comparative advantage theory has raised vast interest throughout the past century, and this interest is revealed at both theoretical and well as practical level. Furthermore, as the modern day society becomes more and more engaged in globalization and market liberalization, the application of the comparative advantage theory is gaining more momentum. Within the economic literature for instance, various researchers have approached the issue of the

The response of the Bush Administration was to launch a full scale military operation against terrorist entities, in particular Al Qaeda and their foreign supporters. This series of operations, became what was to be known as the Global War on Terror . Subsequently, the invasion of Afghanistan and other military operations resulted in the capture of high value targets with known connections to terrorist organizations. While these events this had dramatic ramifications on geo political landscape, American courts were also given the unenviable task of determining if those captured by the U.S government were entitled to the rights and privileges enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court in particular faced a particular set of problems in confronting this issue. Precedent on the matter had been established over fifty years earlier under far different circumstances that were unable to reflect today s modern challenges. Secondly, the Court needed to determine whether they had the jurisdictional authority to accept writs of habeas corpusfrom detainees held in Guantanamo Bay Cuba. Historically, Lincoln s unilateral suspension of habeas corpus during the Civil War was the first instance in which the courts had a chance to review the indefinite detention of citizens of the United States.

  • 22. Why Mitochondria And The Cell With Versatile Operating... Abstract: Although mitochondria and chloroplasts encodes handful of their own proteins, however, majority of their required proteins have to be synthesized in the cytosol and translocated into their correct destinations using specialized transporting networks: TOM/TIM complexes in mitochondria and TOC/TIC complexes in chloroplasts. Molecular chaperones play critical roles in facilitating functional competent protein import from the cytosol to their correct destinations, utilizing catalytic motor components and other transporting channels. Biogenesis of both mitochondria and chloroplasts and their maintenances in terms of transcription, translation and protein import into their various numerous compartments requires very tight coordination to overcome energetic barriers, protein aggregation and protein degradation. This essay describes molecular chaperones involvement in protein import from the cytosol into these double membraned organelle compartments. Introduction: Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell with versatile operating systems (i.e. converts energy derived from foods into cellular energy e.g. ATP, Amino Acid and lipid metabolisms, iron sulphur clusters and haem biosynthesis, and also the regulation of apoptosis) (Harbauer et al., 2014, Bolender et al., 2008, Wiedemann et al., 2004).

In the 1940 s the city of Los Angeles was experiencing a significant boom in the African American and Latino populations. During this time, there was also a massive influx of Caucasians into the Los Angeles area. The Caucasians wanted to keep African Americans and Latinos who they called Zoot Suiters out of their neighborhoods, so they formed a white gangcalled the Spook Hunters . The formation of the Spook Hunters increased racial tensions in Los Angelesexponentially and caused a surge in violence between the white gang members and ethnic minorities. During this time period the Ku Klux Klan had an active presence in the white neighborhoods of Los Angeles which significantly increased racial tensions. In the 1950 s and 1960 s African American and Latino gangs expanded and became more territorial and violent. To this date gang related violence remains a constant in the day to day lives of Los Angeles residents. Chicago history of gangs begins in 1860 s with Caucasians of different ethnic backgrounds. A pivotal moment in race relations in Chicago occurred when Regan Colts, a white gang, drowned an African American boy in Lake Michigan on July 27th, 1919 (White 25). This incident led to the first racial riots in Chicago where gang members openly attacked each other. Since that incident Chicago has experienced ongoing gang violence.

In the year 2006, the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) agreed to a rule that would only allow players that were at least one year removed from high schooland were at least 19 years of age. This rule caused much controversy among fans, players, and league executives. I believe players should spend at least one year in collegebefore declaring for the NBA draft. The first reason a high school basketball prospect should go to college instead of going overseas is because, they would have to adjust to a totally new culture. ESPN s college basketball ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Playing well on a good college team in the tournament could increase your draft stock tremendously. Rather than being a backup on a bad Euroleague team scoring 5 points per game. Take Malachi Richardson for example. Malachi Richardson, a wing for the Syracuse Orange, his team made the tournament, but most thought they would not make it very far. Richardson was not considered a first rounder in the 2016 draft, but after many wins and Richardson leading Syracuse to the Final Four his draft stock skyrocketed and was seen by some to be a potential lottery pick in the draft (lottery is within the first 14 picks). He eventually ended up getting picked at No.22 overall by the Charlotte Hornets. Bottom line is that, going to college can help because then NBA scouts don t have to go to a different country. And the third reason is, if you do not think realistically that you will be drafted, you still have your scholarship and can stay all 4 years and study for a degree. If you are considered a high draft prospect, then fail to live up to expectations, you can then stay more years in college. You can stay more years and improve at basketball for next year s draft. Or you can do both, stay all four years declare for the NBA draft, and get your college degree. This is the best reason to go to college instead of going overseas, because college is a privilege. Not

The key factor that has an influence on eating disorders is the media. Including people of all ages and genders, up to twenty four million people suffer from an eating disorder in the United States (ANAD np). This is a huge problem in the world today but what makes it so much worse is the fact that it can be prevented and it is in our control to change it. Young adults look to these celebrities, which are often their role models, and try to look just like them. What they fail to remember is the fact that celebrities have a lot of money, money that can afford nutritionists and personal trainers. They also fail to remember the extensive measures the celebrities may have to go through to look the way they do. An example of extensive measures can be considered plastic surgery. Ultimately, this creates a false goal that is almost unattainable for the average or regular person. Overall, the media has overtaken a huge impact on what the ideal body image has become today. Eating disorders are still on the rise and it is proven that an eating disorder such as anorexia affects up to 5 percent of women from ages 15 30 years old ( Media, Body Image, and Eating Disorders | National Eating Disorders Association np ).

Earth s Only Natural Satellite Andrew Logan Dr. Richards PHY 161 5/1/15 Observing Project Object 1: The Moon Next to the Sun, the moon is the most recognizable object in the night sky, and is Earth s only natural satellite. It has been estimated that the moon formed somewhere in the region of 4.45 billion years ago, just a measly 30 50 million years after the origination of the Solar System. While there are many hypotheses that try to account for the formation of the moon, the one that is backed the greatest is the theory that the moon was formed when a large mass roughly the size of Mars collided with the newly formed Earth, this sending out planetary material into the same orbit of the Earth. This material then underwent the process of accretion and formed what we now know as the moon. With modern laser altimetry, scientists have been able to accurately measure the topography of the moon. The most apparent topographic feature on the moon is located on the southern pole, is referred to as the Aitken basin, and stretches nearly 1400 miles in diameter. This is the largest crater on the moon and the largest known crater in the Solar System. Not only is this the widest crater on the moon, but its floor is also the lowest point on the surface of the moon. The dark spots that are visible with the naked eye are called maria, and they are actually hardened pools of ancient basaltic lava. Next to the maria, the most commonly seen features of the moon are the impact craters that pepper the entire surface.

The characters, created by Washington Irving, most especially Tom Walker, gives us an insight on how his life centered predominantly on wealth up to the point where he is consumed by temptation. Tom Walker s engagement in a deal with the Devil portrays how money driven society has become more prominent through the times of the 1700s and today s world. Furthermore, we begin to identify the characteristics of the society in the 1700s, through Tom s character and his relationships by recognizing how he converses with the Devil.

This was a global war that started in Europe. It was fought from July 28, 1914 until November 11, 1918. Between the Axis and the Allies, there were approximately 50 chemical weapons that were used, or tried, during World War I . These chemicals were reported to be the cause of less than one percent of the fatalities in the war and around seven percent of the casualties that occurred. The strategic power of chemical weapons in WWI was in the psychological terror they caused rather than the number of soldiers they killed. (c en 100 Years of Chemical Weapons). Some of the well known chemical weapons that were used during World War I were tear gases, chlorine, phosgene and mustard. Tear gas agents are known to cause crying, coughing and respiratory difficulties to those affected. In WWI, tear gas was first used in 1914 by France against the Germans. There were no documented fatalities with this chemical weapon. Chlorine was first used as a chemical weapon in WWI in 1915. It was used by the Germans against the British in Yrpes. In its first use, chlorine caused more than 1,100 fatalities. Later on in the war, the effects of chlorine were diminished due to the use of gas masks. Another chemical agent that was used in WWI was phosgene gas. The proteins in the lungs react with phosgene and cause those affected to suffocate. Just as with the chlorine gas, phosgene was first used in 1915 against the British at Yrpes. Phosgene is estimated to have caused approximately 85 percent of the fatalities from chemicals in WWI. Mustard gas was another chemical used in WWI. Mustard gas is a blister agent that can also damage the eyes and the respiratory system. The German forces were the first to use the mustard gas. They first used it against the British in July of 1917 at Yrpes. Only 2% 3% of those affected died. It was better at debilitating people than it was at killing them. Many chemicals were used in WWI.

In many cases, these are the same authors who contributed to the first edition, so the decade of perspective they provide is unique and insightful. Many of the topics in this book cover areas that were predicted in 1989 to be important in the future (Walters 1989) and continue to be at the forefront of applications that drive our science forward: image processing, stock assessment, simulation and games, and networking. The chapters that follow update these areas as well as introduce several new chapter topic areas. While we recognize the challenge of attempting to present up to date information given the rapid pace of change in computers and the long time lines for publishing books, we hope that the chapters in this book taken together, can be valuable where they suggest emerging trends and future directions that impact the role computers are likely to serve in fisheries research. 1 Past, Present and Future Trends in the Use of Computers 3 1.2 Hardware Advances It is difficult not to marvel at how quickly

Money laundering involves a three step process which includes placement, layering and integration (Albrecht et al, 2009). Placement is the first step and it includes the launderer opening up an account at a bank or some other type of financial business to make deposits with the illegal money. The placement step is often looked at as the most risk taking step because the launderer does not know the reaction of the bank and how they are going to accept a large cash deposit.

Money Laundering According to Hopton (2009), the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 was created in order to prevent money laundering. The act was made to try to discourage illegal acts such as money laundering from happening and to deter the criminals from even thinking about committing the crime. Woods (1998) stated that money laundering was not a criminal offense at the time the Bank Secrecy Act was passed. The act provides information on the movement of money through financial institutions in the United States and it monitors the movement of money into and out of the United States. It requires banks and other financial businesses to help the government in trying to prevent and detect money laundering. The federal government law enforcement agencies use the information gathered through the Bank Secrecy Act to detect criminal activities and regulatory violations. These businesses are required to keep track of all of their cash transactions of ten thousand dollars and more and report them to the IRS within forty five days. These transactions could include anything such as deposits, withdrawals, exchanges, payments, multiple transactions in one day and any cash deposits over the weekend or holidays (Woods, 1998). They also have to identify individuals who are requesting these large transactions and keep any records that relate to their transactions.

In addition, the postwar years saw the return home of thousands of Puerto Rican war veterans, whose service in the U.S. military had shown them the world. But perhaps the most significant cause was the sudden availability of affordable air travel. After centuries of immigration by boat, the Puerto Rican migration became the first great airborne migration in U.S. history. The first great generation of Puerto Rican migrants established communities in cities throughout the country, including Chicago, Philadelphia, and Newark, as well as in mid Atlantic farm villages and the mill towns of New England. However, since the 1930s, the capital of Puerto Rican culture in the mainland U.S. has been New York City. Despite its great distance from the Caribbean, New York had long been the landing point of seagoing Puerto Ricans, and the airborne newcomers followed suit. The new migrants settled in great numbers in Northeast Manhattan, in a neighborhood that soon became known as Spanish Harlem. Although many had been farm workers in Puerto Rico, they know found themselves working in a wide variety of jobs, staffing the hospitals, the hotels, the garment factories, and the police departments of their new hometown, and they soon became a significant force in the city s political and cultural life.

The girl s singing voice is not a work of any masterpiece in anyway, neither is it outstanding enough to be performed in front of a great audience.

William Wordsworths demonstration of self proclaimed isolation is not only to enhance the melancholy of a dormant heart, but it aims to enlighten the unsuspecting reader with solitude and transcendentalism.

Since there is no physical depiction, every devotee is free to contextualize the religion in any way relating it to themselves. However that is not the only option. Some religions like Hinduism have gods that are depicted in colors that do not pertain to any particular race. Although Hinduism is widely popular in India, the physical depictions do not only pertain to Indians. Many pieces of Hindu art displays gods like Krishna or Vishnu as blue gods. The god Hanuman is also sometimes depicted to be a red god in popular forms of Hindu art and in many sculptures. Unlike these religions, since physical depictions of Christian art do not adhere to all people of all skin tones, many people may leave the Christian Church.

The use, importance and implementation of data dictionaries are analyzed and explored with specific focus on their use in enterprises who have intensive information and intelligence management needs daily. Analyzing the Uses of of Data Dictionaries The data dictionary has evolved from being a repository of fundamental database attributes, data models and definitions of elements, files, records, users to a critical framework component for enabling application, data and system integration (Stonebraker, 2010). Data dictionaries have evolved to fill the need enterprises have for unifying and integrating diverse, often previously siloed databases and legacy systems together, creating more agile, advanced and comprehensive data models that define a business entire value chain (Asscher, 1984).

In a world of political and celebrity scandals from the raunchy to the greedy, our culture is full of corruption and an obsession with fame. Henrik Ibsen s Hedda Gabler and Sylvia Plath s The Colossus both explore the West s moral blindness and our paralysis of feeling and thought in the twentieth century. Western civilization is becoming a wildfire fueled by tragic ignorance, societal norms and corruption. This must be exposed in order for any cultural epiphany to occur. Judge Brack is the definition of the colossus in Hedda Gabler. He is someone people trust and build up to be an honorable and insightful leader, but in the end he is a vulgar and immoral individual full of Dionysian corruption, and lacking any apollonian qualities. Brack throws frequent stag parties that eventually evolve into wild nights of debauchery. He and the men he invite drink and participate in orgies. While at night he is an unrefined sexual animal, during the day he is the definition of justice and trust. During his interactions with Hedda he reveals his deep misogynistic beliefs and his sense of power over her. Instead of letting her display her power through her pistols, he treats her like a child telling her that we ll have no more of that kind of fun today, (249). He knows that she feels trapped in the cultural norm of marriage, but he enjoys poking at her and making her feel weak as a woman. He is allowed to go
