2. Impact Of Television On The Western Europe
The Impact of Television on Democracy in Eastern Europe
After the second World War , a large part of central Europe was controlled by the Soviet Union and
was forced to adapt to the Communism ideology. While the year 1989 was a turning point that some
effective revolution interrupted and the Soviet hegemony was destroyed, the demand for democracy
and freedom was increased and people tried to find their ways to speak out. With the development of
technology, mass media emerged to help address the problem. Among the mass media, radios,
newspapers, and televisions were extremely prominent because of their high speed way of spreading
information and direct expressions of images and sounds. During this period, people tended to believe

In Romania, many independent television stations appeared during the collapse of Ceausescu s power.
Under the control of the Communist Party, any information that was adverse to their regime was
forbidden. However, this was soon followed by the second stage of growing disillusionment as
political divisions made themselves manifest and the new system developed its own ways of imposing
its control on the media , often simply by reintroducing some of the old methods (Jakubowicz 293).
The television was used as a transmission platform for people who gained the freedom of words to
express their thoughts. Televisions were involved in politics in the Post Communist Czech Republic.
Before, and during the Communism era, television stations were strictly controlled by the government.
It was impossible for those people who were considered to dissent and fight against the Communism
ideology to show up in the public media. However, in November of 1989, Czechoslovakia s
Communist regime had come to its end; the staffs working for televisions were changed, which led to
the conversion of the content in the TV programs. For example, anti government representatives like
Havel and Dubcek appeared on the screens. Thousands of people could now hear their voices and
messages at the same time (Hester Reybold 46). In accordance with the institutionally guaranteed

6. Lean Manufacturing Is An Approach
Introduction Lean Manufacturing is an approach taken by manufacturing organization to increase
efficiency through optimization and maximize customer value while minimizing waste. Traditionally,
Lean principles were applied to manufacturing industries especially automotive companies. However,
with the success in automotive industry, it no longer limited to automotive sector and can be applied in
other manufacturing sectors as well as services industries (Balle, et al., 2006). The drivers for
implementing Lean in both manufacturing and service sectors are customer demands for better quality
products and services, managerial demands for cost reduction and sustaining in an increasing market
competitiveness. Lean implementation and various success stories has led companies worldwide to
introduce lean in their operations and services but majority of these companies achieved only modest
levels of success (Womack Jones, 2003). It is reported that many organizations are not able to
transform themselves to lean organization and thus at some point of time, lean implementation is
destined to fail (Farris, et al., 2009). Some of the main factors for lean failures are poor
communication, lack of strong leadership, lack of learning, staff resistance to change, and lack of clear
direction (Emiliani Stec, 2005). Researchers have argued that transition to lean environment and
sustaining lean improvements requires cultural change in the organization rather than changing the

Whereas Rome was divided into four different social systems: Freedmen, Slaves, Plebeians, and
Patricians (Binns). In the Roman society, the women were not treated as insignificant individuals, as
they were in Greece. Women were rather considered citizens, if they were not born into slavery,
therefor they were not able to hold political offices or vote. They were both known for their
architecture and contributions for some of today s society s buildings. The Greeks were responsible
for incorporating three different types of architectural styles: Corinthian, Doric, and Ionic. Most of the
Greek architecture inspired the Romans, who in turn adopted the Greek style however the
incorporated arches and aqueducts into their buildings. Another architectural notation is that the
Greeks chose to use statue figures to honor the human form, while Romans seemed to focus more on
the actual technique and the building design. The Greeks used materials like wood, plaster, metals, and
some marble to create their architecture. While the Romans did use some of the same materials as the

13. Short Term Memory
By strengthening an existing synapse in some way you can create a neural pathway in a short time.
There are many local short term memory circuits in the brain. Biochemical modification and rehearsal
of synapses mediates the short term memory function. The hippocampus releases fresh memory traces
with the cortex, eventually blending memory patterns in the cortex via gene expression into the
protein modified synapses of long term memory. The blending process could take days or even weeks
for deeply set long term memory. So synapses in the cortex that were first circuits for the short term
memory became through rehearsal and blending molecularly engraved as long term memory.[7]
An individual neuron can be a part of a lot of memory patterns. The thousands of synapses of its
dendritic tree will have different activity configurations for each of the memory patterns in which it
participates.[7] ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

14. The Princess Bride By William Goldman
For this assignment, I chose to watch The Princess Bride, a film based on the book written by William
Goldman. The story is of a beautiful maiden named Buttercup. When she hears word of her true love,
Westley s, ship being taken over by the Dread Pirate Roberts in which there were no survivors. Upon
Westley s death, Buttercup reluctantly agrees to marry Prince Humperdinck, who seems to have a plan
of his own. When Westley returns as the Dread Pirate Roberts, he finds Buttercup in grave danger in
the hands of Vizzini, the man we later learn was hired by Humperdinck to kill his bride and frame
Florin s sworn enemy, Guilder. After using his sword fighting skills and strength to outwit Inigo, the
Spanish swordsman, and Fizzik, the giant, he then uses his wit to kill Vizzini, Buttercup s capturer.
Once Buttercup is able to identify Pirate Roberts as Westley, they continue on their journey, only to be
thwarted by Prince Humperdinck, Count Rugen, and their men. Buttercup is then tricked to believe
that they let Westley go free, even though they have him tortured and eventually killed. In need of his

father s killer, Count Rugen. The three of them then break into the castle, Inigo gets his revenge, and

16. The Question Of Antibiotic Resistance
Introduction The question of antibiotic resistance is a growing phenomenon in contemporary society
and modern medicine; it pertains to pathogenic organisms and is one of the most eminent issues of
public health in the twenty first century. Though resistant genes are ancient, its increasing prevalence
poses a threat. It demands a greater need for antibiotic therapies. New resistance mechanisms may
spread globally and limit our ability to treat disease and lead to a giant hole in the pillars of modern
medicine. The immense increase in antibiotic resistance can be attributed to many factors. Along with
spontaneous gene mutation, natural selection, and cell to cell gene transfer, humans play a huge part in
the worsening of the epidemic. The Union of Concerned Scientists estimated in 2001 that more that
seventy percent of the antibiotics used in the United States are given to food animals without disease
to increase growth and decrease probability of mortality; medicine is used ensure and maximize profit.
The misuse of antibiotics leads to an increase in resistance in that it exposes bacteria to antibiotics
when this exposure is not necessary. Additionally, culturally ingrained practices of using antibiotics
sans prescription, sharing antibiotics with others, and over prescription and dispensing antibiotics
either incorrectly or needlessly due to the commercialization of medicine in combination with patients

The story of Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks are very different but similar in some ways. The
story of Goldilocks has to do with a little girl breaking into a family of bears house, while Little Red
Riding Hood centers on a little girl going to her grandmother s house to later discover there is a wolf
impersonating as her grandma. However, the girls decisions are the reason the stories are even famous.
Goldilocks and Red Riding Hood made different decisions that affected the plot of both stories. If
Little Red Riding Hood had never gone to her grandmother s house, she would never have known
there was a wolf in disguise. The same concept applies to Goldilocks. If she had never wandered into

Red Riding Hood s decisions are cautious and thoughtful, unlike those of Goldilocks. She was being
generous by giving her grandmother some fresh cakes that she made while Goldilocks broke into a

18. Similarities Between Dracula And Wide Sargasso Sea
Dracula by Bram Stoker and Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys published in 1897 and 1966
respectively, both echo public and private societal expectations of women at the time. Stoker s novel
was written during the birth of first wave feminism, a period where women were beginning to be seen
as more than sexual objects for male pleasure. Women campaigned for female agency which resulted
in the birth of the new woman . Similarly, Rhys novel focuses on the discrimination faced as a Creole
woman suffering from mental illness. Thus, the ways in which both authors convey significant themes
such as racism, gender disparity and social class can be compared in further detail. Initially, the titles
of both novels also provide a strong grounding to understanding the status of women at the time. Rhys
novel refers to the Sargasso Sea, located in the Atlantic Ocean. This is known for the infamous
Bermuda Triangle, described as an oceanic black hole where ships disappear under mysterious
circumstances. One interpretation of this title could imply that characters may be imprisoned in their
personal Bermuda Triangle , where Antoinette grapples with her racial identity as a white Creole.
Furthermore, the Sargassum is a weed native to the Sargasso Sea, which was symbolic of neglect,
devastation, and disorder. [1] This echoes the sentiments of the protagonist of the novella, Antoinette.

1. Introduction
Tax professionals have to adhere to the rules set by the Code of Conduct, SSTS and other regulations.
In order to perform their job appropriately they have to be honest, objective, and remain conflict free
while working with clients. The tax professional assists their client as a guide, but the ultimate
responsibility of accuracy relies on the taxpayer. The taxpayer or tax paying entity uses their tax
preparer for guidance since they are aware of tax rules and regulations. The purpose of the tax return
that is filed yearly for each tax payer or tax paying entity serves the purpose of being a summary of
activity through the year for the government to access what portion of the activity spending is owed to
the government. If the client is wealthy or an extremely large entity, preparing their tax return can then
become an extremely complex job which will require the tax preparer to refer to the several rules and
regulations for proper filing.

Roman allies. His ability to get these soldiers and to push Mithridates back, shows his great military
skills. This campaign was also important because it brought Rome into contact with the powerful
Parthia Empire. He was able to arrange a treaty with Parthia, which was a milestone for Sulla. This
would not be the last time he would meet Mithridates in battle. Soon Sulla and Marius again had to
forget there many differences to defend Rome against Allied Italian forces who had declared war on
Rome. They had set up their own government and were preparing to become an independent nation.
This war was known as the Social War because the Latin name for Roman allies was socii. It was
ended by a more important conflict, the invasion of a Roman province in Asia Minor by Mithridates.
The Romans and the Italians signed a peace treaty in 89 B.C. Soon the main focus for Rome was
Mithridates of Pontus in the east. In 88 B.C. Sulla was elected consul. The Senate also named him
commander of the forces against Mithridates. Marius had wanted this command for himself. After
Sulla left Rome Marius convinced the people s assembly to give him

Abstract
Early childhood development occurs in six domains. This paper discusses the role of play and its
effects on these domains in children learning. Different types play and play centers were discussed to
show connectivity of the play type and domain development. Interactions among children during play
can enhance cooperative learning using methods and materials used in the play center. Teacher plays
important role to set up the play center, method and materials to be used, and create the learning
environment with specific goal setting. Intervention approach by asking different types of questions
help them to engage, make learning fun, and effective collaborative learning.
Introduction
. Early childhood development takes place in six domains including physical, language, social,
cognitive, emotional, and cultural. Figure 1 shows all six domains in early childhood development.
Physical domain involves learning to use big muscles (gross motor skills) and small muscles (fine
motor skills) in our body. Activities such as crawling, walking, running, hopping, ups and downs are a
few examples of gross motor skills. Writing, drawing, cutting with scissors and walking on a line are a
few examples of fine motor skills.

The role of the federal government in the formation of the modern West, holds to a wide range of

26. Analysis Of The Film Powder
Powder is an albino teenage boy who was very intelligent and shunned after the death of his last
relative. After the death, people began to judge powder, not even knowing what he looked like or the
kind of person he was. His special abilities make him an outcast. In the readings, it says, The stranger
in town becomes shrouded with suspension. Every action is scrutinized. Every inaction is a sign of
guilt. The writer s argument is, don t judge a book by its cover.
The Screen writer and director of the film is Victor Salva. He is a writer and director of over twenty
short and long films before he graduated from high school. According to IMDb, the movie Powder
was his first big studio picture. It received a lot of critical acclaims and was top ten of the year several
times. Article Bio states, Professionally his career started from the year 1986 and within today s
context of time he is able to obtain successful position within the industry. After his biological father
left the family he was brought up by stepfather who often whose to get drunk and disturb the family
mostly by physical abuse.
After the death of one of his grandparents, he is discovered and sent to state home where he has
trouble fitting in. His unusual appearance and abilities caused the people in the town to mock and fear
him. Sheriff Barnum s wife, Emma is sick and in a coma and sheriff is unsure of what he should to
help her. Jessie asks Powder to pay Emma a visit to see if he could help. He touches Emma and shares
her thoughts with sheriff. It becomes clear to Powder that he will fit in with the others, so he runs
away and goes back home. Had they not judged him, they would be able to see the good and potential
in him. The writer/director wants the audience to think that our judgements and criticism shields us
from seeing the good and beauty in someone or something. His point is that we only perceive what is
in front of us. We as people are afraid of strangers because we taught to. The word stranger has a
series of definitions. According to Dictionary.com, A stranger can be a person with whom one has had

29. Factors Affecting Seasonal Affective Disorder
1. Although many studies have focused on individual factors relating to Seasonal Affective Disorder
(SAD), this study sought to extend such research by determining whether cognitive, behavioral and
psychophysiological factors that associate to individuals with nonseasonal depression would correlate
to those of SAD (Rohan, Sigmon Dorhofer, 2003). 2. Before gathering the data, the researchers had a
couple hypotheses in mind. They first hypothesized that women with a history of SAD would
encounter and report more negative thinking as well as reduced activity frequency and enjoyment
during the winter time. Not only that, but they expected that a predicted ruminative response style in
the fall would help foretell the severity of depressive symptoms later during the winter time. The
researchers then went on to assume that women with a history of SAD would ultimately report more
depressed mood and experience greater psychophysiological reactivity as a response to low light
intensity stimuli during the winter time relative to controls. 3. The type of research method involved
was a correlational study, however the researchers ended up taking on a longitudinal, multimethod
approach. Twenty women with a history of SAD and twenty women with equivalent age and
education level were recruited for this study, however two participants dropped out of the study who
had a history of SAD, leaving them with eighteen SAD participants and twenty controls. Each

Each of the two girls has a high spirit infused by passion. Neither actually experiences desire persay
but awaken to the idea itself. Yvette dreams of falling violently in love (12) and Matilda hints at love
through heading for the open gate (Mansfield 58). Both seem to imply the context of a society that
pretends desire only occurs on a limited basis within marriage or class structure, for fear the thought
was obscene , (115). Anything outside of that realm of possibility should not be expressed.
Mansfield implies the passion that Matilda feels for Mr. Bullen with her heart racing and him waiting
for her (55). Matilda feels content upon entrance to her piano teachers home. There is warmth that
overcomes her through the smells and images that surround her senses. Matilda has a feeling that they
know everything about each other (55) which suggests intimacy on her part. From Mr. Bullens point
of view, there is only a portrayal of adult concern as in two instances Matilda is reminded that she is
still a little lady (55). Yvette lay and wishes she were a gypsy (52). The life of the gipsy is different in

Lyn Fry studied Oxana with day to day human interaction and how she processed new information in

she doesn t have the ability to form a long term relationship or to understand give and take. She would
rather fall out then compromise. She is a very vulnerable person and there is no protection outside that
institution Lyn Fry reported.

From the beginning of time, great emphasis has been placed on a need for care due to illness and
disease. In the past, medical knowledge in nursing guided and provided the greatest direction for
practice. It was not until the 1960 s when Dr. Madeleine Leininger felt there was a need of shift from
biomedicine toward integrating culturally sensitive care within the profession of nursing. The goal of
the theory has been to use research findings to provide culture specific care that would be culturally
congruent, safe, and beneficial to people of diverse or similar cultures for their health, wellbeing, and
healing, and to help face disability and death (McFarland, Wehbe Alamah, 2015, p. 6). Utilizing the

Cement
Portland cement is the most common type of cement in general usage. It is a basic ingredient of
concrete, mortar, and plaster. English engineer Joseph Aspdin patented Portland cement in 1824; it
was named because of its similarity in colour to Portland limestone, quarried from the English Isle of

However, it is weak in tension as the cement holding the aggregate in place can crack, allowing the
structure to fail. Reinforced concrete solves these problems by adding either meta reinforcing bars,
steel fibers, glass fiber, or plastic fiber to carry tensile loads. Chemical admixtures
Chemical admixtures are materials in the form of powder or fluids that are added to the concrete to
give it certain characteristics not obtainable with plain concrete mixes. In normal use, admixture
dosages are less than 5% by mass of cement, and are added to the concrete at the time of
batching/mixing. The most common types of admixtures are:
Accelerators speed up the hydration (hardening) of the concrete. Typical materials used are CaCl2 and
NaCl. However use of Chlorides may cause corrosion in steel reinforcing and is prohibited in some
countries.
Acrylic retarders slow the hydration of concrete, and are used in large or difficult pours where partial

This was not the first time that a racial make up was used to classify and compartmentalize a possible
threat to the nation. (Elliott, 2006).
The earliest example of racial profiling would be during the Japanese internment Executive Order
9066 was a United States presidential order signed and issued during World War II by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19th, 1942. The order authorized Secretary of War, and the
Military Commanders whom he may from time to time designate to prescribe certain areas as military
zones, clearing the way for the removal, relocation and incarceration of Japanese, German, and Italian
Americans to internment camps. During this time racial profiling was used as a mode of creating
suspicion and investigation, and this was highlighted in the case of Korematsu v. United States, 323
U.S. 214. The case involved a man named Fred Korematsu, Mr. Korematsu was a Japanese American
citizen living in San Leandro, California who, when commanded to enter one of two Japanese
internment camps, declined to leave his town. Korematsu refused to do so based on the claim that the
Executive Order violated his personal rights and was unconstitutional as it violated the Fifth
Amendment to the United States Constitution. (Korematsu v. United States (1944), n.d.)
The Fifth Amendment in the Bill of Rights reads that: no

46. Ad Hoc Methods
Catching Criminals of the Past: The ad hoc methods of the 1800s and how Alphonse advanced
forensic science Introduction the ad hoc Methods of the 1800s The word ad hoc refers something
formed, arranged, or done for a particular purpose only. When the ad hoc is used to refer to methods of
increasing numbers of captured criminals, it refers to what was done to catch these criminals (ad hoc).
The 1800s were a dangerous time for Americans. The central form of government in America was
mostly in the east as many people began to move west to California because of the gold rush. There
was not much protection for people outside of local law enforcement. Also the law enforcement back
in that day did not communicate if they did it was very limited. ... Show more content on

Local law enforcement was having little to not success in stopping them. A year later Doolin took
control after most of the Daltons was killed in a raid on two banks in Coffeyville. A sting of heist
followed for the newly consolidated Doolin. Doolin and his gang were quite good at alluding capture.
In fall of 1893, marshals finally closed in on the Wild Bunch when they learned that the Bunch was
using the town of Ingalls as a hideout between raids. The afternoon of September 1, 1892, the gang
was found inside George Ransom s saloon. The lawmen moving in for the arrests were headed by
Deputy Marshal John Hixon, who bought four other deputies with him Lafe Shadley, Tim Hueston,
Dick Speed and Jim Masterson. The show down started when Hueston was fired upon and dove for
cover. Doolin shot and killed Speed as the deputy tried in vain to join Shadley, who was concealed
behind the body of a horse. Then Shadley saw one of the outlaws fall wounded, he moved in but
Dalton shot him in his tracks. Masterson later threw dynamite into the outlaws hiding place and
captured Jones one of the members of the Wild Bunch, but the others fled southeast out of town
(Government). The escaping outlaws halted at the top of a nearby ridge long enough to fire some final
shots at the lawmen, and one of those bullets killed Frank Briggs, an innocent bystander. This pretty

47. Pathogenesis Of Lipodystrophy
Lipodystrophy is a disorder of fat metabolism that may be clinically evident as adipose tissue
accumulation (eg, in intraabdominal, dorsocervical, or breast tissues, and lipomas), lipoatrophy (loss
of fat mass, eg, of the face, limbs, buttocks), and metabolic abnormalities (eg, insulin resistance,
diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, or lactic acidemia). The pathogenesis of lipodystrophy in HIV 1
infected patients is multifactorial and includes effects of antiretroviral therapy, HIV 1 itself, and
genetics and other host factors. Evidence suggests that the nucleoside analogue, reverse transcriptase
inhibitors (nRTIs) stavudine, didanosine, and zidovudine may cause mitochondrial toxicity by
inhibiting mitochondrial DNA polymerase in fat and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

48. Nuclear Weapons and Their Linkage with Physics
Nuclear Weapons and their Linkage with Physics
The functioning of nuclear weapons requires understanding the underlying physics beginning with the
structure of the atom. The nucleus of the atom consists of electrically neutral particles called neutrons
and positively charged particles called protons. The no. of protons equals the no. of electrons
rendering the atom electrically neutral. The nucleus of the radioactive particle U 235 has 92 protons
and 143 neutrons and heavier atoms have larger excess of neutron over protons compared to lighter
ones. The protons and neutrons in the nuclei are composed together through powerful nuclear forces
that are stronger compared to any other force which act between them like gravity. Atoms are bound
together to form molecules. These atoms are composed together by chemical bonding that form due to
the manner in which electrons rearrange themselves within the molecule. This binding energy of a
nucleus is almost million times higher than this energy. (Philips, 2012)
Nuclear reactions happen when there is a rearrangement of the neutrons and protons of the reacting
nuclei to form the product nuclei. When the bonding energy of the reactants is less compared to the
binding energy of the products, the excess energy is thus released in the form of radiation. As the
bonding energy of nuclei is nearly a million times greater compared to the energy consumed by a
chemical bond, the energy released in nuclear reactions corresponds to about a

49. Waltz Compare And Contrast
I am the narrator as a child. It is the evening, and both my parents are home. As it nears my bedtime,
my father and I begin to waltz. I can smell the alcohol on my father s breath. The fact that I am able to
identify the smell shows that my father is no stranger to alcohol. The waltz is difficult for me, as I
spend much of the dance hanging onto him tightly. This symbolizes that the relationship between my
father and myself, like the waltz, can be difficult at times. The waltz would be better described as a
romp, as we are knocking into shelves in the kitchen and making a mess. My mother is watching us
and is clearly unamused by the mess we re making. However, she does not interfere with the father
son bonding. This shows that my mother understands

feminism aspect needs more acknowledgement. Luckily, the author of the series does an outstanding
job at illustrating that. The Joy Luck Club depicts the types of hardships women must go through
throughout the movie and the novel. They battle against discrimination and sexism, all while trying to
keep the burden of their lives on their shoulders. The Joy Luck Club is truly an extravagant series that

Setting is the least important puzzle piece of feminism, but it does educate the viewers more about
what it was like during The Joy Luck Club. As stated beforehand, The Joy Luck Club took place in the
1980s. Most people assume sexism and discrimination has long died down into the dirt, but it still
violently sprouted through the ground with determination instead of withering away. Chinese people
were way more strict and cruel when it came to discipline children or being in a marriage. Children,
shoved around ruthlessly by mothers, and wives; still experiencing mistreatment by their sorry
excuses of a husband. Under those circumstances, Amy Tan portrays an accurate representation of
what it was back in the 1900s for women of Chinese descent. Back when the main characters were
teenagers, they did not have any rights to themselves. An incident that explains this more in detail was
Lindo s first husband. Lindo, forced at a young age to move away from her beloved mother Practically
insulted, she was required to marry a snobby, ill mannered little boy named Huang Tyan yu. From the
beginning Lindo thought as if she didn t even belong in her family anymore, hence this example,
Because I was promised to the Huangs son for marriage, my own family began treating me as if I
belonged to somebody else. My mother would say to me when the rice bowl went up to my face too
