The document discusses various topics, including the challenges of writing essays on drugs due to their complex social and health implications, the distinctive use of violence in Quentin Tarantino's films, and Target Corporation's struggles despite its retail success, like facing lawsuits and a major security breach. Additionally, it highlights influential figures such as musician William Byrd and discusses themes of perseverance in literature and the historical significance of Greek god Apollo. Finally, it covers sensitive topics such as the violence experienced by characters in literature and the parenting approach depicted in Jeannette Walls's memoir, The Glass Castle.

1. Essays On Drugs
Writing an essay on the topic of drugs can be a challenging task, given the multifaceted nature of
the subject. The difficulty arises from the need to navigate through a complex web of
information, addressing various aspects such as the social, economic, and health-related
dimensions of drug use. The topic is not only expansive but also sensitive, as it involves
discussing issues like addiction, crime, and public policy.
One of the challenges is the extensive research required to provide a comprehensive and well-
informed perspective. Tackling the topic effectively involves delving into medical studies,
sociological analyses, legal frameworks, and historical contexts. The writer must sift through a
vast amount of data, separating credible sources from biased or inaccurate information to
present a nuanced and balanced viewpoint.
Moreover, expressing thoughts on such a topic demands a careful choice of language and tone.

2. Graphic Violence In Quentin Tarantino
Graphic violence is an inescapable and ubiquitous characteristic of contemporary
cinema (Prince 1). This quote by Stephen Prince in his book Graphic Violence in the
Cinema: Origins, Aesthetic Design, and Social Effects almost perfectly embodies the
spirit of Quentin Tarantino movies. Although most movies contain some sort of
violence, Tarantino involves it in a way like no other filmmaker; it is described as
an adrenaline shot as well as keeping humor a part of the violence. Unlike classical
films, Quentin Tarantinoholds nothing back in showing gore and blood, all the while
using it as a narrative device throughout the film.
As the adrenaline shot was punched into Mia Wallace s chest by Jules in Tarantino
s movie Pulp Fiction, audiences were transitioned from an almost stressful and
melancholy scene to being thrown into the blatant violence of the adrenaline shot
being punched into Mia s chest. This is where Tarantino s adrenaline shot was
originally coined. Tarantino is defined as using his adrenaline shot by having an
almost ordinary scene be quickly cut to short scenes of violence. For example, in
Pulp Fiction, he uses it for the scene when Buck goes back to his house to get his
watch and finds Jules in the house with him. The scene goes quickly from Jules
walking out of the bathroom, to the toaster pastry jumping out of the toaster, to Buck
massacring Vincent with his Uzi machine gun. This how a prime example of how
Tarantino depicts violence in his movies.

3. Target Strategy For Target Corporation
Target has been a successful retail company coming in 2nd place behind Wal Mart.
Although these successes come in many forms, there are factors that deter Target
from ever reaching first place. Target Corporation has run into a few weaknesses in
the recent years. These weaknesses that Target are facing can impact their future
goals. They include lawsuits that Target is facing with the recent events and not
having an international presence. Even though Target is ranked currently 36 in
the fortune 500 companies and have over 1750 stores, they are still very
susceptible to being a victim of a cyber attack. In 2013, Target fell victim to a
security breach on their system. Roughly around Thanksgiving of 2013, someone
had installed malware in Target s security and payment system enabling the hackers
to steal credit card and personal information. Six months earlier the company began
installing a $1.6 million malware detection tool made by the computer security firm
FireEye, whose customers also include the CIA and the Pentagon.
(BloombergBusiness) In place was a very effective security system. However, when
the attacked happen on November 30, FireEye spotted the hackers and Bangalore (a
third party cyber security company hired by Target) that alerted the IT team at
corporate office in Minneapolis. There was no response from Target s Corporate IT
team and therefore led to 40 million credit card numbers and 70 million addresses,
phone numbers and other personal

4. William Byrd Influences
If you were asked to name an influential person in history, who would you
immediately think of? Most likely, the person is or was a politician, businessman,
writer, etc. You most likely did not think of a musician. We, as a society, under
appreciate the work of great musicians of our time as well as past times. For
example, William Byrd was an extremely influential musician who lived from 1538
1623. He is responsible for choir pieces consisting of four (or more) voice parts.
Throughout his lifetime, he made many uncertain opportunities. William Byrd
beneficially impacted his society through the risks he took in his music.

William wrote over 120 pieces, including sonnets, madrigals, and other secular
works (William). William is best known for his development of the English
madrigal. (Britannica) A madrigal is a choral piece for two to four people. In his
song, Ave Verum Corpus , we can clearly hear this use of many choral voices. In
fact, this effect can be found in a almost all of William s works. He took large risks
by using two, three, four, or even more voices to blend perfect harmonies and use
alternating melodies. The result is beautiful music that would be used, even today,
by countless others. On aspect of his music is the joining of high and low voices.
There are areas in his music where the low voices sing but the high voices do not
and vice versa. Then, William does a splendid job of blending them together, using
the differing pitches of the singers to compliment each others voices. The result is
a full sound that is not too muddy and low, yet not too high and pitchy. His songs
were almost always in Latin wording, including the constant use of the phrase
Agnus Dei or Lamb of God . If listening very closely, one might be able to hear this
phrase repeated in many of the works provided by William. Byrd also released a
collection of madrigals that became very popular (William).William also jumped for
any opportunity he could get his hands on; for example, William majorly contributed
in the making of the English

English language has that kind of rhythm called stressed timed where stressed
syllables occur in a sentence at fairly regular intervals of time even if there are
many unstressed syllables between them. Vocal folds vibrate with different
frequencies when we speak and the faster they vibrate the higher the pitch is. In
English it does not make a big difference if you say words with low or high pitch
they still remain the same meaning. Tone languages are those languages where the
pitch changes the meaning of words e.g. some African, Asian and Native American
languages. In Mandarin Chinese /ma/ can mean, among other things, horse and

9. Praise Of Bill Peters, Coach Of The Carolina Hurricanes
In Praise of Bill Peters
Now firmly into his third season as a head coach in the NHL, Bill Peters, coach of
the Carolina Hurricanes, has a lot of work in front of him to get this team into post
season contention. Through his first two years with the organization, Peters is still
yet to participate in the playoffs. In fact, it has been seven years since Carolina last
saw the playoffs.
Peters current lack of post season success shouldn t be an immediate point for
concern, as he came into the team during a major recession in terms of team talent.
Most notably offensive stars Alexander Semin and Eric Staal both had major drops
in terms of point production during Peters first two seasons, both see their way out of
Carolina.
It appears though for this season the pieces are beginning to fall into place for Peters
vision of this team. Their level of play over the past few games has been as high as it
has ever been in recent years, as the team as a whole is able to play effectively in all
ends.
This quick turnover time shouldn t come as a shock to anyone given Bill Peters
outstanding performances behind the bench for other teams.

Bill Peters first major coaching job came in Major Junior as an assistant coach for
the Spokane Chiefs of the WHL. The Three Hills native would serve there as an
assistant under then head coach, and current Toronto head coach Mike Babcockfrom

10. Greek God Apollo Research Paper
Greek God Apollo Research Paper I guess darkness serves a purpose: to show us
that there is redemption through chaos. I believe in that. I think that s the basis of
Greek mythology , Brendan Fraser once said about the idea of all Greek Gods and
myths. The people of ancient Greece would look up to various gods, depending on
what they were seeking. Apollos name translates to strength , as he displayed this trait
throughout his lifetime and had to be emotionally and physically stronger at times for
the people of Ancient Greece. Apollo was a man of trust who excelled and supported
all of the fine arts of the Greek civilization such as music, art, and poetry (God
Apollo). One of the most underestimated traits of Apollo was his healing powers, in
which he helped out many Greeks in desperate times, like the Trojan War
(Cartwright). The Greek God Apollo was the most influential among Greek people
because of his recognition for music, the truth, and healing powers. Apollo was born
on the Greek island of Delios, from his parents Zeusand Leto (Regula). Zeus was the
god of the Olympians who also controlled lightning and thunder, and Leto was the
goddess of motherhood (Atsma). Apollo was a god who had a clear idea of what
was right from wrong and lived with the idea of that the Greek society could live
under peace and harmony and follows the laws that were put into motion, especially
after the Trojan War (The Story of Apollo). Apollo demonstrated importance to the
people of

my feelings more than I thought it would. The story shows that I m sensitive by
being called something that really hurt my feelings. The characters Clarke and The
Sniper are sensitive because of the reactions that they had throughout their lives.
Clarke from The 100 series shows that she is sensitive when it comes to her
parents. She wished she could share the experience with the two people who had
made her yearn to see earth. Clarke wouldn t have the chance, her parents were dead
(kass morgan 95). Clarke wishes that her parents were still alive to see the moment

Well s was the reason why her parents were dead, he opened his mouth about
something that wasn t supposed to be said by anyone, and he said it and which
that caused Clarke s parents their lives. Therefore Clarke is sensitive when it
comes to her parents and the reactions she has to certain things. The Sniper shows
that he is sensitive when it comes to him realizing that being a sniper maybe wasn
t the right thing. He revolted from the sight of the shattered mass of his dead
enemy. His teeth chattered, he began to gibber to himself, cursing the war, cursing
himself, cursing everybody ( O Flaherty 4). The sniper basically is having second
thoughts about what he does, he s sick of it and hates to kill and curses everything
cause it changed him. The Sniper looked at his enemy falling and he shuddered.
The lust of battle died in him. He became bitten by remorse ( O Flaherty 4). He didn

kill people anymore, and anything and everything about the war was gone in

12. A Summary Of The Injury In The Glass Castle
In Jeannette Walls s memoir, The Glass Castle, Jeannette and her siblings are
constantly plagued with various accidents and injuries, more so than typical children
would be. Her parents have a carefree and lenient approach to parenting, oftentimes
leaving the children to fend for themselves or in perilous situations. In The Glass
Castle, Jeannette recounts some of the injuries she and her siblings suffer, the
reaction her parents have to those injuries, and the parallelepisodes they refer to. One
of the first appalling instances of Jeanette s various accidents occurs when she is
cooking hot dogs at the age of three. Walls writes: ...when I stood up and started
stirring the hot dogs again, I felt a blaze of heat on my right side and realized my
dress was on fire (9). As a result, Jeannette ended up having to be covered in ice and
given skin grafts due to the severity of her burns, despite this accidentbeing entirely
preventable. While tragic, this occurred for a few reasons, first because she was
much too young to be maneuvering a hot stove, and furthermore because she was not
being supervised by any parent. Nonetheless, any adult could likely have noticed the
fire and put it out more quickly had they been in the room, leading to less acute
injuries.
When Jeannette s mother did come, it was evident that she cared about the safety
and well being of her child: Mom ran into the room (9). Seeing as she came running
rather than strolling, it can be inferred that her mother is attentive and worried
about her daughter; however, once in the hospital, her father has an averse
reaction to her injuries and the fact that she s in the hospital when he says: You
shouldn t be in this antiseptic joint (13). Most parents would fret over their child
and let the hospital do whatever they saw fit to help their child, but her father Rex
doesn t trust the hospital and potentially jeopardizes his daughter s health by not
adhering to the hospital s recommendations. A parallel episode to this tragic fire
incident is when the family is staying at a hotel and are woken up in the middle of
the night by a fire. The whole building burns down, similar to how Jeanette s favorite
pink dress was completely singed and had to be cut

13. The Influence Of Industrialization In Europe
Almost as a byproduct of industrialization and nationalism, Europe entered its third
great expansion into the world in the last half of the nineteenth century. The first
great expansion had been the crusades; the second the expansion of European
population, culture, and influence into the Americas and Asia during the Age of
Discovery. The third expansion was the most dramatic and most aggressive; it was
based on a stream of European products, people, and ideas flowing from Europeto
other parts of the world.

Great Britain took the lead in using trade to tie the world together economically.
Britain had a large empire including India, Canada, and Australia. The breakthroughs
of the Industrial Revolution allowed Britain to manufacture cotton textiles, iron, and
other goods more cheaply and as a result, production soon outstripped demand in
domestic markets. So, European manufacturers sought markets elsewhere in the
world. Cotton Textiles are a case in point. In 1820, Britain exported 50 per cent of
its textile production. Europe bought 50 percent, while India bought only 6 percent.
Then, as protective tariffs were erected in the United States and other European
countries against British textiles, manufacturers aggressively sought other markets
in non European areas. In 1850, India was buying 25 per cent of British textiles and
Europe only 16 per cent. Since India was a British colony, it could not erect tariffs to
protect its own textile industry, and as a result, many Indian weavers were put out of
work by cheap British textiles.
At the same time, Britain became a consumer nation, and with the repeal of the Corn
Laws, Britain became a world market. Britain resisted tariffs as it was believed that it
must purchase if it were to sell on world markets. Free access to British markets
stimulated growth in mines and plantations in many non western countries.
British industrial development was aided by the invention of the steam engine and
railroads, which made transportation

The green level means the room is fairly quiet and is great for lecturing and civil
class discussions. Too much noise during a lecture and/or a class discussion can
distract the students from obtaining information. The Yellow level is a step above

during group activities and lab exercises. The Red level is when every student is
trying to out shout each other. A Red level will result in consequences and lesson
redirection. In a chemical laboratory, one cannot simply shout and make a lot of
noise. Some chemical measurements have to be very precise, and loud noises may

The Monroe Doctrine became one of the crucial foundations of American foreign
policy over the next century; what was the occasion for Monroe s articulation of this
doctrine, and what were the circumstances motivating its adoption?
As the Latin American colonies rebelled to create self governing nations, the United
States felt empathy towards the uprisings. With that sympathy came the Monroe
administration, giving the new democracy of Latin American recognition. With the
fear of Spain attempting to recapture Latin American colonies, John Quincy Adams
created the Monroe Doctrine. The doctrine was based on three foundations. One: was
that the United States would deny any attempts of colonization in the Americas by
European dominions. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Latin America had the potential to be a major market for the United States as it was
with Britain. Adams was also concerned that Spain would try regain its control over
its lost American colonies. One of the arguments was that the Old World and the
New World were built on very different political and diplomatic systems. The Old
World was a monarchy and the New World was a republic with some democracy and
more freedom for most. Many similarities existed between the American revolution
and the Spain American revolutions. In both cases, an oppressive imperial
government tried to impose laws, taxes and tariffs on their colonies, infringing on
their freedom. Similar to the years before and building up to the American
Revolutionary War, Britain attempted to strengthen their imperial authority and
control over the North American colonies, exploiting them financially. As well as in
1808 a French army under Napoleon occupied and over threw the monarchy of Spain.
During which time the Latin American colonies enjoyed more freedoms. In 1814 the
monarch regained his thrown. The king refused to acknowledge the constitution that
was adopted by Spain in 1812. The king was never able to reassert total control over
the Spanish colonies. With time and established liberty, colonies all sought the

Everyone has a different personality, has preferences, and enjoys doing a special

American girls make themselves believe they should be different than who they are.
The same concept follows with the article Stop the Absanity by Taffy Brodesser
Anker about false body imaging. A common theme both pieces of writing share is
being true to one s self. In the article, Anker asks, Is it time to talk about why we ve
chosen abs as the thing we pick on? (118). This is similar to the novel because it

when Lindo travels to China and is spotted as a tourist. This is because despite her
facial features and heritage, her American appearance make the people label her as
a tourist. This leaves her to feel ashamed, as people do who know their abs aren t
up to standards. Finally, Anker states that people, have chosen the place where we
feel our emotions and tried to spot reduce it away (122) meaning most emotions
are felt deep in the stomach and now less emotion will be felt. This corresponds
with Jing mei s fear in China of being seen as an American, but also not finding any
Chinese components within herself because she feels like she has ignored her true
culture for too long and will never be able to become part of it. This shows that Jing
mei accepts that she needs to find her true self and will stop pretending not to be
Chinese. Altogether, many of the characters in the novel The Joy Luck Club struggle
to figure out their identities, but as suggested in Stop the Absanity by Anker, the
pressures of society share misleading ideas that make it easier to feel better in their
own skin rather

grow as an individual. I learned a lot about a different types of voice personas and
the characteristics of soundinterfaces. Perhaps the biggest takeaway in the class for
me came through the development of my groups own sound interface. We were
forced to focus on the user interaction and really think about the characteristics that
the voice would possess, including the details that go into a voice persona like Siri,
Alexa, and the Google Home.
During LMC 3403 I acquired a foundational vocabulary for discussing and
analyzing sounds, voices, and modes of listening through the work done on my
blog post. I learned about soundscapes and how the use of tempo, pitch, and
intensity create different emotions; contribute to the overall goal of the
environment. For instance take a weight room and library for instance. The goal
of a weight room is to give high levels of effort and physical effort. So you may
have loud intense music playing, this gets the blood going. You also may here the
low grunts of other athletes exerting their efforts. This creates an environment of
hard work and motivates you to work harder. Now take a library for example you
may here the low hum of the air conditioner, the thuds of books going back on the
shelf, and the

23. Financial Aid Narrative
It was normal day like any another when I received my financial aid package from
college. I remember the excitement that came with being one step further on the
path to my life. And just as clearly, I can remember the sinking feeling I got in my
stomach when I looked at my financial aid package. This was the first time in my life
I had thought I might not go to college. After thought about education, experience,
and money, I came to that college is worth the debt that may be incurred.
Education is the main goal of college. I had always considered myself a person
dedicated to the pursuit of more knowledge and a better education. My mother,
being a teacher, had instilled these values in me. When I was in elementary, I
tested into a gifted center and from there I tested into selective enrollment college
prep. The obvious next step seemed to be college. Looking the scholarship given
to me, it just didn t seem to add up. I had scored a 32 on the ACT but my
scholarship was barely covering half of my expenses. But I knew if a just gave up,
the meant giving up on everything that I believe in. By pursing college I was able to
be challenged, pursue subjects which interested me and discover new pathways that I
was interested such as African American studies. Without taking that chance, I may
have never received that knowledge.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Being 18 at the time, I had so much more to experience. While I loved Chicago to
death, I want to experience something new and, with that in mind, I had to go.
While I was at college I was able to experience what it is like to live on my own. I
was also able to build lifelong relationships with people. Being around people who
were different than me also opened me up to new ways of thinking. Environment
does affect experience and in order for me to grow as a person I think I need to be
put in a new environment. These experiences are something I could not something I
could put a price on but it still came with

24. The Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program
The Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program also known, as the D.A.R.E
program is a worldwide school based program that helps reach out to children
(elementary, middle, and high school) to prevent drug and violence abuse. This
program does not discriminate in any case, therefore it consists of children all
different colors, shapes, and sizes. Since drug and violence abuse was rising at
incredible increments in the 1970 s and early 80 s, a Los Angeles Police Chief and
the Los Angeles School District in 1983 founded the Drug Abuse Resistance
EducationProgram. There are twelve key critical components in this program, each
and every component is required to have a successful impact. Some such as: joint
planning (which comes from the parents), education agencies, and law enforcement
agencies. These come together as one and prepares a plan for the child and a written
agreement which requires the child to sign a contract that indicates full respect to the
parents, law enforcement agencies, and education agencies requiring full
commitment to the drug and violence prevention program. The major goal for
D.A.R.E. is to assist school children in resistance skills and prevent drug abuse
amongst them. Children learn best at a young age that is why this program is in
school districts trying to start educating them about the subject at a young age. This
program uses the psychosocial approach by having the officer reach out to each child
separately. The bond they have helps teach each

25. Religion And Its Impact On The Church Of The 1400-1500s
Chapter 14 Unit Questions Pluralism attracted the most negative attention to the
Church of the 1400 1500s because when Church appointed officials did not show
up to their benefices, leading to the lack of responsibilty of the Church officials.
Immorality was mostly neglect of the rule of celibacy, however immorality was not
entirely sexual transgressions, there was also clerical drunkenness, gambling, and
indulgence in fancy dress. Ignorance was the lack of education, as many priests
were barely able to read or write. Finally, in regard to pluralism or absenteeism,
many clerics had benefices, but rarely ever visited them, let alone performed the
religious duties the offices entailed, this led to the attracton of the most negative
attention. Catholics believed they would gain salvation by both faith and good
works. Luther disagreed with the percepts of Catholic salvation by saying that
salvation comes by faith alone. Luther argued that women and men are saved by the
arbitrary decision of God, heedless of good works or the sacraments. Luther preached
that God, not people, established salvation. The major ways in which Luther
challenged the Catholic Church included different ideas of salvation, where religious
authority resides, what the church was, and what the highest form of Christian life
was. Where Catholics believed salvation was achieved by both faith and good works,
Luther believed it was gained through only faith. Christian doctrine had long
maintained that

26. Psychological Research On Aggression And New Evidence
As Humans, we use the word aggression in our day to day conversation to
characterize our behavior and perhaps behaviors of others. We conclude that people
are aggressive if they scream at or hit another individual, however, other harmful
acts such as the killing of enemy soldiers during the war might be regarded as an
aggressive act by everyone. Social psychologists have spent lots of time trying to
determine what should be considered aggressionand reasons why individuals exhibit
aggressive behaviors towards other. Hence, for many decades social psychologists
have carried out various psychological research on aggression and new evidence
has emerged on the problems that researchers are exploring the fundamental
construct of aggression for a long time continue to experience, raising new
questions and posing new perspectives about aggressive behaviors. Social
psychologists describe aggression as any behavior that has an intent to harm
another individual who does not demand to be harmed (Baron Richardson, 1994).
However, it is crucial to understand the distinction between mental or physical pain
inflicted in the line of duty and which might be viewed as aggression but with a
proximate intent of helping others (Fiske, 2008). Hence, what others may perceive
as aggression from one point of view may not be considered aggressive behavior
from other perspectives and the same harmful behavior may or may not be regarded
as aggressive depending on the intent of the aggressor. For

METHODOLOGY
PARTICIPANTS
The aim of this article is to investigate the frequency of DMs in the speaking of two
groups of teenagers and adults. Two groups of teenagers and adults were randomly
selected to this aim which their age ranges from 20 to 23 for the first group and 27
to 30 for the second. The selection of the participants was based on the point of
comparing the frequency of the use of DMs between the group of teenagers and
adults.
INSTRUMENTS The instruments applied in this study were clearlyan audio
recorder by which the speakers voice was recorded in a high quality for more and
precise investigation concerning the use of DMs. This audio recorder recorded the
voices of native participants in a high quality which anybody can hear any elements
in the speakers voice. The participants in this study were not required to speak in a
routine conversation like an interview; accordingly their speaking was recorded
spontaneously. The participants were only required to retell the short story as they
were telling the story for a child.
PROCEDURE
Every participant of the present study was given a short story and also a specific
period of time to rehears the story and then retells it. In this way the participants did
the job and retold the story individually. Their voice was recorded and investigated
several times by the researcher for recognizing the frequency of DMs usage in their
speaking. In this study 20 participants voice when they were retelling the short

30. Lean Burn Combustion
Lean burn refers to the use of lean mixtures in an internal combustion engine. The
air fuel ratios can be as high as 65:1, so the mixture has considerably less fuel in
comparison to the stoichiometric combustion ratio (14.7:1 for petrol for example).

Heavy duty lean burn gas engines admit as much as 75% more air than theoretically
needed for complete combustion into the combustion chambers. The extremely weak
air fuel mixtures lead to lower combustion temperatures and therefore lower NOx
formation. While lean burn gas engines offer higher theoretical thermal efficiencies,
transient response and performance may be compromised in certain situations. Lean
burn gas engines are almost always turbocharged, resulting high power and torque
figures not achieveable with stoichiometric engines due to high combustion
temperatures.
Heavy duty gas engines may employ precombustion chambers in the cylinder head. A
lean gas and air mixture is first highly compressed in the main chamber by the piston.
A much richer, though much lesser volume gas/air mixture is introduced to the
precombustion chamber and ignited by spark plug. The flame front spreads to the
lean gas air mixture in the cylinder.
This two stage lean burn combustion produces low NOx and no particulate emissions.
Thermal efficiency is better as higher compression ratios are achieved.
Manufacturers of heavy duty lean burn gas engines include GE Jenbacher, MAN
Diesel amp; Turbo, Wärtsilä, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Rolls Royce plc.

31. Marianne Williamson s Essay Unlearning Religion
Will Langas Religion exists in every culture, ranging from monotheism to polytheism,
and everything in between. Many may believe that the extreme diversity of faiths
eliminates any common benefits, but each and every religion shares a common
ability. Although no two religions are the same, the one value that every religionhas is
the power to satisfy followers spiritually. Whether it is through prayer or just
religious contemplation of life s deepest questions, religion serves as a tool for
responding to life s greatest mysteries. In a modern world where many believe that
being religious is a waste of time, it is important to remember that a strong
foundation of faith can provide one with the answers needed to answer life s most

Although she does not specifically classify her faith, Williamson speaks of God, and
how she believes that, God is an impersonal force, but our relationship to him is
personal (Abernethy). Instead of believing in specific traits that God exemplifies,
she speaks of the messages that this divine being conveys, specifically the message
of love and compassion. For me, it was not necessarily Williamson s beliefs that
made the most sense to me regarding the value of religion, but rather the way in
which she create her own set of beliefs that she could apply to her life. In today s
modern age, not many are taking advantage of the fact that straying more from
mainstream religion is generally accepted more by society. To me, I see that people
tend to benefit most from religion when they create their own beliefs, rather than
have someone tell them what to believe in. To me, I see that when people choose
their own sets of beliefs, they find true value in religion by being able to apply
religion to their own

32. How Water Affects The Rate Of Change In Water
Water normally freezes at 0В°C, however this temperature reading is widely
dependent on the substances that are present in the water. When dissolving a
substance in water, the freezing point will be lowered, meaning that the
temperature has to be colder in order for the water to completely freeze. This is
called, The Depression of Freezing Point . Many foreign substances, such as
alcohol, sugar and salt, can interrupt the balance of melting and freezing water at 0
degrees Celsius. This has a direct link to the melting point of ice as melting point and
freezing point both are 0В°C.
When the temperature of water reaches a freezing point, the free flowing molecules
get trapped into organized crystal structures creating ice. However, when salt is
introduced it disrupts the process. When in contact with water, it splits up into two
ions, being Sodium and Chloride (NaCl). These ions move around in between the
structure which then leads to the ice melting due to the lowering to the freezing
point which means more water molecules are leaving and less are entering the
solid. When the temperature lowers even further, the water molecules leaving the
solid phase will slow down even further and the rate will eventually match the rate
at which water molecules can find the solid in the presence of salt. When water
leaves a solid at the same rate as molecules enter, a lower freezig point is established.

The test that will be conducted uses 500ml of water and different levels of salt and
sugar. Salt and sugar, the solutes, being the independent variables, will allow the
experiment to test the melting rate of ice at different concentration levels. By
adding salt and sugar in to separate ice trays after diluting it and freezing it, the
freezing point should be lowered, meaning that the rate at which the ice will melt
will decrease. This would also be the case if sugar was used along with

Dr. Kinbote and John Shade
Vladimir Nabokov is an artist that accentuates the aesthetic pleasure which
patterning affords. The fabric of Pale Fire is woven with a dense texture of mirrors,
doubles, parodies, games, riddles, masks, and disguises. In the story, such games of
perception (particularly the notion of reflection and misconception) creates a
disparity between reality and fantasy. One of the most well known and multifaceted
line in the poem comes from the first stanza, fifteenth stanza, and supposedly the last:

When In Isolation There is No Slavery
Mark Twain wrote his novel after slavery was made illegal, and the choice to set
this story in a time when slaves were still held is significant to the stories plot. The
novel took place in Missouri when it was still a slave state and helped to establish
the theme of isolation in the novel. Twain was able to express his beliefs on slavery
in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn through the idea that when isolated away
from prejudice, race is no longer an important factor. Twain s childhood experiences
helped him establish the storyline of his novel into the way it is. Twain s family had

35. The Is A Vessel For The Soul Essay
Ancient religions tend to believe that the body is merely a vessel for the soul. Some,
in their quest to achieve a more significant spiritual attachment with God, have
lambasted their bodies as symbols of weakness and seek to rectify it through self
mutilation or starvation. In Judaism, for example, the Old Testamentcommands that
the body be kept sacred. This restricts self mutilation and even tattoos. However,
fasting is still permitted and even encouraged. Aside from the commanded Old
Testament fast days such as Yom Kippur, there are other Rabbinic fast days
throughout the year, and stories abound of Rabbi s fasting routinely as a means of
drawing themselves closer to their soul and to God. Tradition even claims that Moses
fasted for forty days upon the mountain before receiving the Old Testament from God.
Within Christianity, however, many went even further. Instead of just fasting, many
actively starved themselves and inflicted bodily harm upon them. Fasting does remain
a significant part, though, as proven by Jesusfasting for forty days and other Saints
following his example. This was a trait of Saints, who insisted on going through
severe trials and tribulations in order to conquer their own bodies. Some Saints would
even make the ultimate sacrifice of Martyrdom. Often, this was more pronounced
among women who had the additional impurities that were not as pronounced in men.
Rev Michael Geisler of St. Louis speculates that the purpose of the self mutilation was

Nonetheless, the riot was not the only event to help shape her novel. Margaret
Mitchell uses her past experiences with love to form the many dynamic
relationships between her characters. Mitchell s first love, Henry, is used to create
the emotional affairs between Scarlett and Ashley Wilkes. Mitchell refers to the
relationship with Henry as, a memory of a love that had no trace of physical
passion. Henry was a World War I soldier that was killed in combat. Margaret met
Henry during her first year of college at Smith College in Massachusetts; both
Henry and Margaret had come from well respected families. When Henry went to
war, Mitchell started to work in a Red Cross hospital; coincidentally, Scarlett did
the same thing during the civil war. After Henry s death, Mitchell moved home to
take care of her mother, who later died of Spanish Flu. Like the two star crossed
lovers, Scarlett and Ashley were also well educated and well respected. Ashley, like
Henry, was a soldier in a major war. While Scarlett and Ashley never had a physical
relationship, they both liked to play with the others emotions. Both Scarlett and
Mitchell never truly moved on from their first love and because of that their next
relationships were negatively affected. Mitchell, like Scarlett, was often described as
an unscrupulous flirt, which helped her meet her second husband, Berrien Red

In Casey up to Bat his battle was to hit the ball and he struck out. In David and
Goliath David s battle was to kill Goliath and he did. If one struck out and the other
killed a giant that means that one lost their battle and the other didn t. Another
way I think they are different is because Casey boasted and David did not. In
Casey up to bat it said that Casey said that pitch isn t my style. In David and
Goliath it said that David said that he was going to win because God was on his
side. This proves that Casey boasted and David did not because if you watch
something go by you think that it s not good enough then that is boasting because
not everything is going to be perfect. David did not boast because he had a reason to
think that he was going to win and he didn t act like he was all that. The last reason
why I think they are different is because David was judged in a bad way and Casey
was judged in a good way. In David and Goliath it said that David s brothers called
him a brat. Casey was judged in a good way because in Casey up to bat it said that
everyone thought that he was going to hit. If you get called a brat that is offensive
so that would be a bad judgement. If everyone believes that you are going to hit the
baseball that would be a good judgement because people trust you.In the poem

The Harlem Renaissance was the most important movement in regards to both
American art history and resistance art. The movement spoke to a new generation of
artists, thinkers, poets, and scholars to discuss African American pride, history, social,
and cultural attitudes within a form. This was also known as the New Negro
Movement, stemming from the 1920s where African Americans sought to educate,
shock, and celebrate their own culture. Public inspiration in Harlem became popular
due to the works that Aaron Douglas created. In the postmodern era following the
Harlem Renaissance, artists such as Faith Ringgold and Michael Ray Charles began
to reillustrate ideas from the Harlem Renaissance and presents them as new ideas in
several artworks, displaying its resistance to the status quo.
To determine if an artwork that stems from the Harlem Renaissance into the 1980s
is considered resistance art can be difficult as one can argue both ways. The New
Negro movement follows a pattern of resistance in the artworks subject matter or the
artist s method of creation. The Harlem Renaissance s creations are a foundation of
resistance through the use of subject matter and mediums in response to social
movements. The beginning of the movement marked a time of rebirth, pride and
unity for Harlem and it s newly free relocated citizens of African Americandescent.
In the 1980s African American topics such as, the Mammy character and or Uncle

42. Psychodynamic Approach Case Study
The Psychodynamic Approach
The psychodynamic explanation for abnormality would say, it is a result of psychic
conflict or traumatic events from childhood. (Cardwell, M.et al 2008).
Freud believed that our psyche or personality is made up of the id, ego and
superego. The id and superego are in conflict, the ego is needed for a healthy
personality. (Cardwell, M.et al 2008). The id is present from birth, is unconscious
and driven by immediate gratification. (Cherry, K.2017). The ego develops as the
child grows, it is conscious and moves between demands of the id and superego.
(Hefner, C.2017). The superego develops last and is concerned with right and wrong.
(Cardwell, M. 2008).
Freud also developed the theory of five psycho sexual stages. Conflict ... Show more

(Cardwell, M. et al, 2008).
Anal stage between 18 to 36 months. This involves pleasure through holding or
expelling of faeces. (Cardwell, M. et al, 2008).
The phallic stage 3 to 6 years. The primary source of pleasure comes from the
genitals. (Gross, R. and Rolls, G., 2008).
Latency stage 6 to 12 years. There is more concentration on activities such as sport or
schoolwork. (McLeod, S. 2008).
The Genital stage is from puberty to maturity. Hetero sexual relationships give the
greatest pleasure. (McLeod, S. 2008).
If an individual becomes fixated at one of these stages, it can affect behaviour later
on. For example, someone who is excessively tidy might have an anal personality.
(Gross, R. and Rolls, G. 2008).
Psychodynamic therapies include dream analysis, free association and the Rorschach
inkblot test. Dream analysis has found to be effective in helping women adjust to
divorce. (Falk, D.R. and Hill, C.E. 1995).
Free association is where a patient says what comes to mind when hearing certain
words. This can bring repressed memories to the surface. A patient could receive a
painful memories or flashback, known as an abreaction. Feeling better after this is
called catharsis. (McLeod, S.

43. Biases In The Thin Blue Line
Robertson Davies once said, The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to
comprehend. When I look at today s society I witness all kinds of decisions people
are making through many different situations. I believe the influential decisions
made around an individual person plays a role into how they process an opinion.
This happens a lot because it s just normal for a human being to act a certain
because of the pressure they have. I see this a lot through scenarios where people
go along with something they don t like because of how others are doing so. I
believe the pressure of people s biases has affected the way an individual make their
own ideal way of thinking. In The Thin Blue Line, Errol Morris suggest that the
human biases fails to help us recognize the reality going on around us. The person
who I believed had the an essential part through the film was Randall Adam himself.
The dramatic events he went through positively represents the whole idea of how
people fail to recognize the truth going on around them. From when the incident first
occurred, Adams continued to protest his innocence, which became his bias. His
story from the very beginning is shown to be credible as he continues to... Show more

He doesn t come out and says I committed the murder , but the words he implies
shows how everyone failed to see what was really going. He implies how he was
just a 16 year old boy trying to get out of trouble. Where this bias came from was
how Harris was a kid at the time and he knew nothing about the legal actions that
could be taken against him, so he knew since Adams was with him this led landed
him in jail. This worked in the film dramatically as from the very beginning
everything Harris said was already known to viewers as false information. Finally
towards the end his statement makes a difference because he states that They didn t
blame him. I

44. Popcorn History
A history of popcorn
When it comes to popcorn, more often than not it s the sound that hits you first with
its pop, pop, popping . It starts off nice and slowly before heading full steam ahead
into a firestorm of kernels as they almost magically transform into clouds of crunchy
white goodness. The next thing you ll no doubt notice is the incredible smell that
wafts through the room and eventually the entire house, slowly pulling you in as it
teases your nose. You ll feel weak as the popcorntantalises your taste buds. By the
time your teeth crunch down on the first bite, you re totally and utterly hooked.

His recipe included the use of a grill, a half pint glass of popcorn and a frying pan
that had been rubbed with lard or butter. He advised holding the pan over the fire
whilst constantly stirring or shaking the corn and within a few minutes, the
popcorn should have turned inside out to reveal the delicious white, fluffy centre.
He also mentioned the addition of salt or sugar whilst it was still hot for added
flavour. The issue with this particular method however seemed to be with the lard
or butter. The butter would usually begin to burn before the pan reached a hot
enough temperature and the lard would create popcorn that was covered in slime
like grease. It wasn t until the latter portion of the 19th century that a more efficient
way of popping popcorn was discovered. What were deemed to be poppers were
actually boxes made of tight wire gauze and had long handles attached. They were
designed to be held over an open flame. The design of poppers offered a number of
benefits including the containment of popped kernels whilst also keeping any hands
away from the heat source. Over the years, the popper became hugely popular and
as a result a number of improvements were made to make it bigger and better than
ever. Due to the improvements, popcorn became even more accessible to the masses
of people wanting to get their hands on

45. Summary Of The Net Imagery In Oresteia
In the Oresteia, revenge drives the characters to act. Although they call it justice, it
is not. Aeschylus uses net imagery to symbolize faith and destiny. When
Clytemnestra murders Agamemnon and Cassandra, the net imagery acts as a
symbol of terrible fate. However, then fate reverse. Now, Orestes is caught in
Apollo s net and kills his own mother. Lastly, Athene changes the meaning of the net
from one of chaos to that of order and justice. These uses of the net imagery help the
reader focus on a crucial theme in the play: the superiority of a formal justice system
to one based on the individual quest for revenge by progressively altering the nets
meaning and its affect on those around it.
Clytemnestra s use of the net imagery focuses the reader on the drawback, that is,
collateral damage, of a justice system that is based on the individual quest for
revenge by emphasizing the collateral damage associated with revenge. As she stands
over the bodies of Agamemnon and Cassandra she says: I wrapped in a great net not
a fish could have slipped from the shoal (69). Involving the shoal in Clytemnestra s
speech explains that with every revenge quest there are innocent people who suffer
the repercussions. An avenger does not consider the bystanders surrounding the guilty
person. Clytemnestra states that the net was so large that the fish could not escape
the shoal. If the fish s fate is to be caught in the net yet it cannot escape the shoal, that
means the shoal suffers the same

46. The Call Of The Wild Character Analysis
The Missions of Buck, Ghulam Ali, and Theodore
There are many different people that have taken on missions and have found a way
to accomplish them. From The Call of The Wild, Buck wanted to adapt and
survive in the Klondike. In The Other Side of The Sky , Ghulam needed to find a
new way into Pakistan to better the life of two families. Out of Kid Lawyer,
Theodore wanted to find his kidnapped friend and not lose their friendship. However,
all three were determined to work hard for their goal because they all needed it to live
happily.
Buck was a sweet house dog whose goal was to adapt and survive in the Klondike.
He was stolen and taken to a new place that he had never been before. Once he saw
a dog was killed due to her injury, he knew he was going to have to adapt and
survive on his own in the Klondike. Along the way Buck endured many hardships,
he was in a fight to the death for the leadership position, he could tell he was going
to need fight and he did, he used his imagination and successfully defeated Spitz.
The passage states, Buck stood and looked on, the successful champion, the
dominant primordial beast (London 35). This displays that Buck has evolved and
can kill his own kind. While on his journey, Buck could feel himself change, his fur
got thicker, his feet solidified and he became faster. For instance, The dominant
primordial beast was strong in Buck, and under the fierce condition of trail life it
grew and grew (London 23). This proves that Buck is

48. Night by Elie Wisel and Of Mice and Men by John
Steinbeck...
Night by Elie Wisel and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck are both books that
have differences and similarities in the relationships of their main characters.
These characters are Elie and his father, which are two Jews trapped in a
concentration camp for the book Night. The other book Of Mice and Men includes
two other characters, who are Lennie and George. These two characters have very
close friendship, and take care of each other. These two relationships differ and
coincide, in how they treat each other, and in how they care for one another even
when they don t have to. The relationships of the characters in both books are both
fairly close, but still face many hardships along the way. As in all books the
characters have a... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
A quotation from this novel of this is when Slim said You had to George, I swear
you had to just after the murder place. The quote relates to the relationship of Elie
and his father by showing how they both felt the same burden about others. Lastly,
another similarity between the relationships is how close they are throughout the
novels. For example, one way is as mentioned earlier, they care for each other by
feeling remorse when something happens to them such as in Night or when they
do something that might put them in danger or make them ill. An example is
when George says Lennie for God sakes don t drink so much. This relates to Elie
and his father by showing us how they cared for each other s health. All of this
shows that even if characters are from different novels there are still many
qualities in their relationships that coincide.The relationship between Elie and his
father, and the relationship between George and Lennie differed in many aspects.
One example, of this is that George and Lennie from the novel Of Mice and Men
had a relationship of tough love even though they cared for each other, compared to
Elie and his father which still loved each other but were not so harsh on each other.
For instance, George always would say I would be better off without you Lennie.
Even though he was tough on him George still cared for him. This quote relates to
Elie and his dad because it explains how this made their relationships differ. On the

49. Descriptive Essay On The Devil
The devil I feared, sat on my lungs so deeply it felt impossible to breath. My knees
were trembling and I could not move. A single tear drop got away from me as it
broke the dam wall in my soul. I just stood there at the edge of the steps, as I
watched her slip away to another man with nothing I could do. 5 sets of eyes
watching, joining me in shock. I turned into a completely empty shell as I stared at
the entrance to the Vermeer s house where I kept replaying the recent events
through my head. The house that used to be so full and grand, now seemed so
empty to me. I contemplated why she rejected my proposal and then it appeared
clear to me that she lied about wearing those blue and yellow head clothes so what
else had she lied to me about. I had a slight suspicion that she was to have feelings for
the man in the attic, but I thoughtI had pushed that away with my love and affection.
Clearly I was wrong. I felt my strength regain as my sadness turned to anger. My
eyes gazed up at the attack to see him, standing at the window staringdown at me, he
too looking shocked, though much more still than everyone else. How could she do
this? With a flood of hopelessness and anger I turned away from the Vermeer s
house and fled like mist before a radiant day.
I steamed through the market place towards the pub. I couldn t stop the thoughts
rushing around in my head. All sorts of emotions kept stirring up and I didn t know
how to feel. Anger, hate, betrayal or love? I didn t know if

50. Examples Of Confirmation Bias In Prison
Frontline: Prisoners of Silence
1.)Confirmation Bias is when someone has high hopes for something to turn out the
way they want, that, in their mind, it comes true (Google, 2017). One example would
be playing with an Ouija board.
2.)Parents whose children were/are autistic wanted so badly for the process to work
that they believed it. Even the researchers believed FC worked because in their mind
they wanted it to work. Confirmation bias even played a role in hurting families by
accusing parents of sexual assault towards their children (Frontline, 1993).
3.)Issues in Facilitated Communication were that these children were forming
complete sentences and writing poetry to the point that a ten year old was writing at
a higher grade

51. The Bells Tone
Edgar Allan Poe s theme in The Bells is the four stages of a person s life. The silver
bell is appropriate for childhood, the golden bell is the one for youth and the
maturing for marriage. The brazen bell represents the harsh and dangers of middle
age, and the iron bell is suited to old age because of its heavy and melancholy tone
and also because it is associated with the funeral knell. (Litfinder)
In the first stanza, Poe never directly says the bells are Christmas bells, he uses the
words tinkle, icy air, and jingling, to let the reader know that he is describing
Christmas. He uses repetition of words like rhyme and time to give the reader an
overall mood of happy (Poetry for student s pg. 47). He does this because this stanza
... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Poe provides a visual image and an association with a thing of value by referring to
the bells as golden (pg.48). He describes the night as balmy which gives a soothing
and mild feeling instead of the harsh use of icy in the first stanza (pg.48). Poe s
world usage and repetition help the reader realize that this is a joyous mood. This
stanza symbolizes maturing, starting a family, and growing older.
The third stanza takes a dramatic turn and is dark and gloomy. The third stanza is
describing the chaos of a fire and the desperate sound of the fire alarm. Poe uses
personification to describe the fire. He says that fire has a desire to climb so high
that it can sit next to the pale faced moon (pg.49). Previously in the poem the
repetition of bells was an upbeat and happy, but now he is using it to create a sense
of urgency and panic (pg.49).
The final stanza is the saddest and depressing in the poem. In this stanza Poe is
describing a person s funeral. The bells are now black and made of iron and the
sound is illustrated as melancholy and as a groan. Poe uses personification in the
phrase rust within their throats (line 69) to describe the bells having a thick raspy
voice. He also uses repetition by repeating Keeping time, time, time, in a sort of
runic rhyme (line 92, 96, 101) to create a creepy and disturbing feeling among the

52. Foucault s Discipline And Punish
Whenever he punishes his children, he says they commit sin and he puripies them
bu punishment in order to maintain disicipline. Foucault s Discipline and Punish
describes several techniques to achieve discipline. He states that anyone can
achieve discipline, discipline proceeds from the distribution of individuals in
space. (DAP 141). The first technique is enclosure . In this close view focuses
different kinds of people at one place. It is the place of project to disciplinary in
monotonies way. In Purple Hibiscus, Adichi shows Eugene s separate cell to
Kambili and Jaja in open doors to control them to make discipline. In Journeying
Out of Silenced Familial Spaces in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie s Purple Hibiscus,
Ouma argues that the silence in the house is psychological as well as physical. After
returning from Nsukka, Kambili and Jaja observe oppressing silence by Eugene.
According to Foucault, the prison house is a way to product the public from the
criminals and the same way the criminals must keep the discipline by monitoring. In

In this technique gives space, permission to gather or group but under the
surveillance, not only to break the conversation but also to make useful space
between them. It makes supervision in general and individual. Foucault states that,
Particular places were defined to correspond not only to the need to supervise, to
break dangerous communications, but also to create a useful space. (143 44). But
this space links with posts to make smooth relationship. But in Purple Hibiscus,
Eugene never creates space between Kambili and Jaja and he never allots any posts
even he fails to allot their gender role.
At Nsukka, Aunty gives all, which is the reason Jaja and Kambili like her and hate
him. The dining also paves surveillance, they eat in silent way and they return to their
rooms in silent. Everything supervises and monitors by Papa Eugene,

53. Taking a Look at Autobiographical Images
Viewing autobiographical images is often a relational experience. Within
contemporary art, autobiographical work opens up the possibility of creating new
kinds of relationships between people of different backgrounds. It can operate both
as a representation transference of lived experience and as an apparatus for
experiential, relational viewing. When viewers encounter work that deals with the
autobiography of the artist, they engage cognitive and affective processes that often
involve identification and memory. In this practice of relational viewing, the artist s
work functions as a powerful catalyst for memory, whereby viewers draw upon their
own life stories to connect with the work. Consequently, the viewer not only
perceives the image in the present, but projects it back the artist s and their memory,
body and being. Contemporary artists Rebecca Belmore and Nan Goldinexplore their
own memories and past experience through their portrayal of the body. Their use of
body language is quite deliberate at creating subtle tension between the viewer and
the work that evokes this aforementioned relational viewing. Belomore s Firnge
(2007/08) a photographic transparency in a light box draws on not only the memories
of her past, but the aboriginal culture and people she attempts to represent. Goldin
also represents a wider group then herself, the New York Bohemians. Rebecca
Belmore is an Anishanaabe Ontario born multi disciplinary artist currently working in
Vancouver, BC.

54. The Impact Of Freedom On Ancient Greece And Modern
America
Freedom is an ambiguous term, heavily dependent on the context of time and/or
place which, therefore, means that political scientists are not blessed with a universal
definition of freedom to apply. Instead, they must deduct whether a society is free
based on a combination of identifying some general characteristics, as well as
considering constraints that may arise from that society s place in time or geographic
location. Thus, the following comparison of freedom in Ancient Greeceand Modern
America will consist of an identification of similar and differing characteristics of the
two, as well as an application of a historical lens that accounts for constraints. Oxford
Dictionary defines freedom as the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants
without hindrance... and ...the absence of subjection to foreign domination/despotic
government . This definition, along with certain characteristics from the UN
Universal Declaration of Human Rights such as faith in human rights and universal
respect for and observance of all fundamental freedoms... are prime examples of
general characteristics that political scientists attempt to identify. Considering a
society s place in time and geographic location is equally important, however. For
instance, in order to accurately compare freedom in China and the United States, one
must consider the differences in geographical location of the two and how these
differences serve as constraints. Failing to do so may result in

The Allied forces were caught by surprise and unable to leverage their air assets due
to heavy snow storms in the Ardennes. The storm front effectively hindered both
forces. On the northern shoulder, Germany s 6th Panzar Division pushed forward
attacking American positions on Elsenborn Ridge and Losheim Gap. Deitrichs men
were committed to battle, having met heavy resistance from the United States 2nd
and 99th Infantry Divisions. The smaller inferior Allied force was able to
significantly delay the German advance, quite possibly the most decisive actions of
the Ardennes campaign. Hasso von Manteuffel s 5th Panzar was successful in the
center, opening a gap between the 28th and 106th Infantry Divisions. Germans 5th
Panzar s advancement was able to surround two regiments of the 106th Division,
forcing their surrender. Manteuffels and Deitrichs forces were significantly
challenged in the town of St. Vith. The Allied forces successfully defended the road
junction, holding the position until ordered to evacuate on 21 December. These
actions resulted in further set backs for the German force. Additionally, Mantueffel
s forces moved toward St. Vith and Bastogne, where they met heavy resistance,
delaying their progress for several days. By December 22nd the weather began to
clear which allowed Allied aerial support. On the 23rd of December the Allied forces

56. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Essay
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
Many studies have established that a developing organism is susceptible to
exogenous and endogenous factors during certain stage of the organism s
development. The effects of ethyl alcohol or ethanol on the developing fetus, which
manifest a variety of characteristic abnormalities, are collectively called Fetal alcohol
Syndrome. Ethanol exposure to the fetus causes various malformation ranging from
the cellular to the organismic levels with the eventual results frequently being
different levels of mental retardation (3).
Chick embryo studies provide a relatively good model for defining the effects of
ethanol at many organizational levels of neurogenesis, cell death, neuronal migration
and differentiation, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The consequences of ethanol are dependent on the time of administration and
duration of treatment (3).
Animal models have displayed conclusively that alcohol can alter normal
development of the central nervous system. Alcohol exposure during development
has been shown to modify brain growth, neuronal number, myelination,
neurotransmitter levels and receptor binding, synaptogenesis, and many other aspects
of neuronal metabolism and morphology. There are indications of alcohol s
immediate or short term teratogenic effects, typically recounting deficits or delays in
brain growth parameters, measured in the animals that were still in early stages of
development (2).
Most infants identified with FAS are microcephalic, hyperactive, and mentally
retarded by age four to ten. This persistence of brain dysfunction is what causes the
highest human and economic toll (2).
Several studies have exhibited reductions in neuronal number in developing animals
following alcohol exposure. However, neuronal death is a consequence of normal
development. Some neuronal populations maintain a fifty percent reduction in the
number before stabilizing in an adult configuration. The possibility exists that
developmental alcohol exposure may in at least some circumstances, be accelerating
the deaths of only those neurons that

How the legislations have affected Talbot Construction
The Employment Act 2002
The Talbot business must meet this Act so it must make sure that the employees are
given a statement of the terms and conditions within 28 days of starting. The Talbot
business must not fail to give the employees of the business a statement of the terms
and conditions within 28 days of starting.
The business must also make sure that they have clear guidelines in the terms of the
maternity and paternity pay leave as the business must make sure that the
employees gets this. Also it would be the employees right to have maternity and
paternity pay leave so they must provide this. The business must allow the female
employees to have 26 weeks ordinary leave and another 26 weeks leave if required.
Also the business must allow the employee to work for the business after the
maternity leave. The business must give the male employees two weeks paid of
paternity leave. The business must not refuse to give the employees of the business
maternity and paternity paid leave as the employees would have the right to.
The employers in Talbot business must also make sure that they have discipline and
grievance procedures implemented into the business. Also they must follow them
when dismissing the employees as this would make it fair. The Talbot business must
not also sack employees of the business without following the discipline and
grievance procedures as it would be unfair for the employee.

58. Essay on Resistance to Organizational Change
Individuals when faced with any major change will be inevitably resistant and will
want to preserve the status quo, especially if they think their status or security within
the organization is in danger (Bolognese, 2010). Folger and Skarlicki believe that
organizational change produces skepticism in employees which make it problematic
and possibly even impossible to contrive improvements within the organization (as
cited in Bolognese, 2010) Therefore, managementmust understand, accept and make
an effort to work with resistance, since it can undermine even the most well
conceived changeefforts (Bolognese, 2010). Furthermore, Coetsee states for
organizations to achieve the maximum benefits from change they must effectively
create and... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Technical resistance is caused when employees are concerned about the capital that
was invested in the technology and equipment that is currently being used. There is
also cultural resistance that is difficult for employees to change values, norms, and
procedures that are supported by the current culture within the organization. The final
type of resistance is political resistance. This happens when decisions made in the
past are now being questioned which can cause certain stakeholders to feel threatened
(Van Dijk, Van Dick, 2009).
Elements for Dealing with Resistance
According to Palmer, Dunford, and Akin (2009) there are six different approaches to
managing resistance to change which are, situational, let nature take its course,
thought self leadership, creative counters, tinkering, kludging, and pacing approach,
and finally the power of resistance approach. While all of these different methods or
approaches for dealing with change have positives and negatives, some are better than
others. For example, Kotter and Schlesinger s situational method is great in that it
recognizes some situations need to be treated differently than others. However, they
suggest that manipulation could be used and while they explain the dangers of this
approach, its application is very limited and the rewards don t outweigh the risks.
Another approach that Palmer, Dunford, and Akin (2009)
