2. Turkey X Disease
The outbreak of Turkey X disease in England in 1960 and later outbreaks of a
similar disease in ducklings in Kenya and Uganda resulted in extensive research,
which indicated that the common factor in all the disease outbreaks was the
presence of toxic Brazilian groundnut meal in animal feed (13) During an
examination of a sample of this toxic meal it was found that up to 20% of the pieces
of groundnut cotyledon tissue contained fungal hyphae which were absent in a
sample of nontoxic meal (5). Attempts to culture them showed that hyphae were
dead. Sargeant et al (89) however, succeeded in producing pure cultures of certain
fungal species present in a highly toxic sample of groundnuts from Uganda. One of
the fungi isolated contained a factor, which was toxic to ducklings and produced the
characteristic symptoms associated with Turkey X disease. The toxin producing
fungus was identified as Aspergillus flavus (89) and the toxin was named aflatoxin .
The Aspergillus flavus group (83) includes A. flavus and A. parasiticus, which are
the primary and possibly the only source of aflatoxins, and A. oryzae and A.... Show

Aspergillus flavus is the most common species associated with aflatoxin
contamination of agricultural crops (30, 31). A. flavus is found in temperate and
tropical regions in soil and, in agricultural areas, most commonly, on maize, cotton,
tree, and ground nuts (88) and less frequently on rice (24). A. flavus populations
are highly diverse and their stability in the soil and on the plant is not well
understood. An atoxigenic relative of A. flavus, A. oryzae, is widely used in
soybean and rice fermentation (20). It is now increasingly clear that A. oryzae is
not a separate species but actually is only one of many examples of atoxigenic
variants of A. flavus (46;
3. The Human Cost Of An Illiterate Society By Jonathan Kozol
Throughout English 1010 thus far, I can certainly say that my writing skills have
been tested and tried. Writing for fun and composing rhetorical essays for a college
level English class are vastly different styles and require contrasting attitudes, voices,
and points of view for each. Before writing essays of the former diction, I must admit
that I did not understand the rhetorical strategies and had no idea there even was a
rhetorical triangle. The assignments included in this portfolio show the advancements
I have made in my writingwith an academic tone.
While writing my summary and response for the essay The Human Cost of an
Illiterate Society by Jonathan Kozol, I quickly became aware of my weaknesses with
shortening and summarizing essays. Especially when trying to identify rhetoric, I
tend to run on and have difficulty cutting out the extraneous and superfluous content.
Luckily for me, that was the entire point of the assignment and I filed those skills
away for the sake of my future writing career. When revisiting this piece, I found that
there were certain sentences throughout that used opinion and have no place in a
summary.
For some reason, the visual analysis assignment was by far my most difficult essay

That being said, other times you learn just as much from revising your work as you
did from completing the initial assignment. Refining my rhetorical analysis was
indeed an experience of both troublesome and rewarding. Since my academic voice
is somewhat similar to when I began this class, I decided to simply move and alter
bits and pieces of the text. The biggest change was correcting the many instances
where I use the wording the audience, rather than the actual, specific target audience
of the paper. This helped me implement much better usage of my understanding of
the rhetorical triangle. Adjusting wording and phrasing also bettered the

Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln was the 16Th President of America. He was the
first republican that was elected as President. He ran for senate two times and lost
both. When he was in office he was mostly occupied with the states that broke away
from the Union,who was named the Confederate States of America. The first to break
away was South Carolina followed by 6 other states before the inauguration of
Abraham Lincoln. And then four more at the beginning of the Civil War,Battle of
Fort Sumter. Lincoln was inaugurated into office in March of 1861. Lincoln was
one of the reasons the pro slavery states broke away, they where afraid that Lincoln

Lincoln had made the Emancipation Proclamation,which banned slavery to the
CSA(Confederate States of America)that didn t come back to the Union by Jan 1,
1863. It also named the states it applied to. But it didn t name the boarder states of
Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware because those states did not actually
declare secession so they didn t free any slaves in those states at the time. They also
didn t name Tennessee because it was mostly back to the Union by then. Most slaves
where not let go immediately but the Act freed thousands of slaves.
Lincoln thought people would think that the Emancipation Proclamation would be
only temporary due to the war and be soon forgotten. So what Abraham did is he
made the 13Th Amendment. The 13Th Amendment stated that slavery was illegal to
all states, and also that it is illegal to make people work against their will to benefit
themselves,which is called involuntary servitude.
The C.S.A collapsed when generals Robert E.Lee and Joesph E. Johnston
surrendered their armies over to the Union. Later the Union soldiers captured
Jefferson Davis(The Confederate President) on May of 1865. At almost the end of
the war Lincoln had a very reasonable view on what the nation

The Woman in Black The Woman in Black is one of the few truly horror theatrical
shows that has continued to terrify audiences over the years. There are many
interpretations of this show, but every single version leaves the audience feeling
uneasy with the sense to stay awake that night. This show was made to make the
audience feel the terror that these men felt during the initial time of the event
through the lighting choices and the acting. In the end during the talkback, the
director and actors wouldn t admit that there was a woman in black that appeared
in the show. This follows along with the ending of the show where one sees her
while the other doesn t know what she is talking about. This added to the thrill

In natural human states, people are afraid of what they can t see. This became
apparent in the show every time there was a lighting change. With the theatre first
appearing as bright bringing the audience into it as a part of the show it made it
easier for them to draw the audience members further into the story. Dim lighting is
the key to making someone believe that there is something there that isn t actually
there. The moments where the woman in black appeared usually had a dimmer
light that never truly revealed all aspects of her. Sometimes it was a spot on one of
the actors or just general lower lights. This influenced what was actually being seen.
Was she actually there or not? That is what this lighting allowed the audience s mind
to go to.Every time the lights blacked out, making it so that there was nothing at all
to see, the tension of the room increased. This brought each audience member closer
to the action and the feelings of Mr. Kipps and the Actor. They didn t know what was

customers and with their employees. Their employees truly are they key to their

the store. They may also want to consider expanding their products lines into
clothing or other branded merchandizing. I can see people wearing Hawaiian

While they acknowledge that they are dumping a chemical into the tap water, they
lie to the residents of Hinkley by telling them that it is a different type of
chromium, chromium III, that isn t dangerous. Lying is the simplest and biggest
ethical mistake there can be as it is always intentional and causes harm to the other
side who believes what is being said. Not only does PG E lie about the type of
chromium being dumped, they also try to cover it up through various methods.
First, they have paid the medical expenses of people in the town as a way to show
that they are doing their part to help, when really this is a small expense compared
with what the ethical dumping of chromium or an alternate form of chemical would
consist of. Secondly, they are bribing the people with large amounts of money to
buy their homes and the land they are on, which holds the dangerous chromium.
Once again this is a cheaper way to hide their issue compared to the cost of having
to fix their practice or losing their company. They even try to give out large amounts
of money to stop the case when they know that one is being started against them. The
people of Hinkley have trouble seeing past this, because of the good that PG E does
for the community overall with jobs and their economy, etc. This is an issue with
Utilitarianism ethics. It is hard to see past what is good overall for the most majority
of people and realize the negative effects this overall good is having for some people.

The Culture of French Food
French cuisine is considered an art in France and dining is not just about food and
drinks but it is about culture, family and socializing. French Cuisine is known for its
richness of taste and its elegant. The French Culture is a very diverse assortment of
different regions all put together, which add to its greatness.
France s identity is based on the historical origins of the nation in Celtic, Gallo
Roman, and Frankish cultures. The name France was used to call people who lived
in the lower Rhineland. It eventually was introduced as a more common term to call
the entire area, which was known as Gaul. The name Francia was applied to several

The French consume 45 pounds of cheese and over 57 liters of wine yearly. Most of
this consumption happens during Christmas time. France in 2008 was the world s
fifth economic power, behind the USA, China, Japan and Germany, and just ahead of
the UK. France has suffered since 2007 from the effects of the global recession, but
the effects in France have been partly cushioned by a more cautious banking and
investment sector, and by a tradition of state intervention in the economy. In many
sectors, the French economy is among the strongest in the world. France is among the
leading industrial economies in the automotive, aerospace, and railways sectors, as
well as in cosmetics, luxury goods, insurance, pharmaceuticals, telecoms, power
generation, defense, agriculture and hospitality. France is also the world s leading
tourist destination. Regarding its labor market, France has one of the highest levels
of graduates, and the highest number of science graduates per 1000 workers of any
European country.
The diversity of French cuisine as evidenced by the distinct dishes developed in
different regions gave way to a variety of ways that French food may be consumed
and enjoyed. Dishes from the French Mediterranean use herbs tomatoes and olive oil,
while Northeastern France cuisine mostly contains beer and sauerkraut because of its
strong German influence. A large amount of fruits and vegetables are
12. The Siege of Port Arthur
Once the city of Port Arthur was under siege at the hands of Togo s navy, and the
First army was able to successfully land in Chemulpo, the Japanese set out to launch
the second half of its joint campaign. The objective was to stage a limited war in an
effort to further contain the Russian troops in the region and exhaust any possibility
they had of rebuilding their resources to counter Japanese attack. Japan was smart,
they knew they could not sustain fighting and continue to pull out victories if Russia
was able to replenish and rebuild. If the Russians were afforded the time they needed,
the war may have taken a different turn for the Japanese.
The first successful land attack began with the battle at Yalu river. The river was
not far from Port Arthur, and its significance was also that it represented the border
between Korea and China. The goal of the Russians was in contrast, as General
Kuropatkin, Far East Army Russian Commander, was interested only in holding
the line long enough to receive reinforcements by way of the Trans Siberian
railway. In other words, the Russian army was on the defensive. He knew the
process of replenishment would be a lengthy one, and the Japanese, under the
leadership of General Kuroki, did as well. Japan was aware that victory would need
to be swift to maintain their strategy of driving the offensive and keeping the
Russians on their heels (Warner, pp. 252 268). Kuropatkin had long been vocal about
the dangers of expansion and

In Gender Trouble, Judith Butler discusses complications with constructions of inner
and outer worlds of the body. She argues that internalization of gender , as common
linguistics describes it, is a part of the heterosexual hegemonic binary of gender
conformity which distinguishes inner and outer worlds. Gender, in the commonly
accepted model, is innate and through a process of bringing out the inner gender is
expressed. Butler proposes, instead, that the gendered body is performative and has
no ontological status apart from the various acts which constitute its reality (173).
Thus, gender does not exist within a person, a part of the body itself, but is a
performance constructed through many displays. Gender is not explicitly... Show

Many food labels claim to be rid of GMOs, even though most American shoppers
are not educated of what that exactly entails. Altering or replacing genes within a
crop or livestock may seem dangerous; however, fruits are juicier, produce have

Erik Vance found that a Green Revolution had existed before the introduction of
GMOs; people wanted to increase the traits of crops (such as wheat) associated
with human consumption to compensate world population growth. By using
GMOs, pesticides and herbicides weren t necessary to fulfill this concept, and they
were also less harmful to consumers and the environment. GMOs are also much
less expensive than repeatedly buying chemicals to put on crops, making it easily
accessible to poorer countries. Also, by genetically modifying crops, they can
tolerate the effects of natural disasters and have much higher survival rates than
those of unmodified crops. Flood proof rice is already in effect in some countries,
and with positive results. Countries considered to be poor can grow rice totally
submerged in water for up to two weeks, and because the genetics of the rice were
altered directly in rice fields and not labs, government agencies tended to scrutinize
much less (Erik). With the protection against natural forces, crops could be grown
virtually anywhere, and may even eliminate other weather related issues such as
drought and long periods of below freezing weather. GMOs can also help crops and
livestock withstand disease. Several international institutes are developing apples
with resistance to dozens of different diseases including fire blight, apple scab, and
powdery mildew (ABC). Countries

To avoid sexual harassment s expensive penalty and diminish its occurrence,
employers need to recognize and understand both the reason for the harassment and
the precise form of power being abused (UMC, 2007).
According to Goodman (1991), power in sexual harassment has been viewed
differently by men and women. The literature on sexual harassment generally
characterizes it as an abuse of either role or sexual power. From the cases Goodman
(1991) mentions in her report, it can be noted that for men, power comes from
official authority, and they view sexual harassers as principally managers and
supervisors. Men acknowledged that co workers could sexually harass one another,
but co worker harassment was mainly seen as a mix up (UMC, 2007). However,
women often distinguish all members of an organization as possible harassers,
viewing it can be initiated by any person who is perceived as having power.
However, it has been claimed that sexual harassment regulations are based on the
point of view of the victim, nearly always a woman, and based almost completely on
the feelings of the victim. Many men have argued that, it is almost impracticable to
understand each other s feelings, and many suits filed for sexual harassment supposed
as misunderstandings between the two parties (Goodman, 1991). Paul (2001) agrees
that or women to expect respectful treatment in the workplace is utopian, yet he also

highlight of her week, bringing her great joy and satisfaction. There are many
illusions in this story, in this essay I intend to show three different illusions Miss Brill
uses to make herself happy and how her reality is shattered at the end of the story by
a chance remark.
Miss Brill s first illusion is her fur, which she thinks of as being alive. Mansfield

Miss Brill soon observes a lady and a gentleman having a brief encounter in the
park, and she imagines what is being said on between the couple. Through this
encounter one sees that Miss Brill is living vicariously through the people in the
park to fulfill her loneliness. Miss Brill s voyeurism leaves her feeling as though she
has interactions with these people; this, in turn, leaves her happy and fulfilled. The
truth is she is a very lonely person looking to fill her time in the park with imagined
relationships.
Miss Brill s third illusion is that she thinks of herself as an actress (123) in a play.
This illusion gives Miss Brill great pleasure and exhilaration, as she thinks, They
were all on stage... they were acting (123) and that she is An Actress (123), which
is an important part of her illusion. Mansfield writes, Who could believe the sky at
the back wasn t painted? (123). This statement leads readers to believe that Miss
Brill thinks of the sky and the park as the set of the play. She believes that the all of
the park patrons weren t only the audience (123) but also the actors in a great play.
Miss Brill even sees a dog that happens to be walking across the park as a `theater
dog. She also believes that somebody would have noticed if she hadn t been there
(123) for her Sunday performance, and that she would be greatly missed. In actuality
she is not an actress in a play but one of the many people enjoying the park.

The symbols and actions the artist employs in the cartoon
This cartoon use symbolism to depict President Theodore Roosevelt striding
majestically through the Caribbean Sea holding a giant stick, dragging a fleet of
steamboats. This cartoon uses satire to depicts a very commanding figure of
Roosevelt, literally as a giant walking in the Caribbean Sea as though it were a
mere pool of water and dragging a fleet of steamships as if they were toys on a
children s playroom floor. He is depicted as a masculine, strong, and brave man as he
holds a huge and seemingly hefty stick that represents the Monroe doctrine. Theodore
Roosevelt confidently strides barefooted through the sea water and is wise to stow
his boots to preserve their dryness for use in the future. While pulling his naval ships
along, he seems to have been making rounds all through the Caribbean and Central
America, exercising his influence whenever necessity arises. There are also eagles

professor and learn a great deal from him. As a result of my prior research
experience I believe that I will be a perfect fit for this Research Experience.
Research has been an essential part of my academic life, and doing research has
both increased my critical thinking, and provided me with opportunities to learn,
and effect a change. Doing research has helped me understand what to expect from
a career in the computer science field, prepared me for a future in computer
science. Last year and a half I have built a network of professional connects, and
learned to solve difficult and complex problems, and I want to continue that with this

The film Hurricane was about two African American men being falsely accused of
a crime that they did not commit because of a spiteful cop who had history with
Rubin Hurricane Carter as a child. Hurricane can be viewed as an insightful film
that exposed the racial atrocities, prejudice, and discrimination acts that took place
against colored people in America during the mid 1900 s. From an audience
perspective the film rating is a 4 out of 5 stars. This film earned a 5 out of 5 because
of its effort and accuracy to tell a story that has impacted the African American
community and reveal the people in authority who have failed to protect and
serve. The purpose of the film was to bring awareness to the world of how African
Americans were being treated in the United States. The filmed proceeded to
convey the catastrophic events that arise in the country by showing how the
colored people were fighting for Civil Rights and how police officers were racist
and prejudice toward black people. The film represents a time in the mid 1900 s
where African Americans were fighting for equal rights and opportunity. For equal
rights in education, and public facilities the colored people were trying to put an end
to segregation. Brown V. Board of education was taking place, Boycotts for the
public buses and sit ins at whites only restaurants were going on.
The resources utilized by the film maker was a historic African American man that

The beautiful image captivated the young boy, the gently sloping hills that were just

through the field guns ablazing, and the boy s hand shot out as he reached for the
controller, equipped his lasso, and brought the rustler to justice, once again saving
his farm: Beecher s Hope. This of course is the video gameRed Dead Redemption, but

Sharffen Berger s competed in the 1.2 billion premium segment with other high end
European chocolate brands such as Godiva, Valrhona and Ghirardelli/Lindt. The
higher competitors in the market, the higher the cost of production capacity reducing
the consumer demand causing less profitability for the company and their

The Economies of Scale in the chocolate industry is high due to the increase of
output of existing chocolate companies that will lower the cost of the cacao
production. New entrants in order to compete, they need to produce more in a lower
cost possible compared to the actual industries. This may not only be the barriers to

Prions have been a mistery for scientists from the day they where discovered. Prions
act like viruses but they are not. Their structure and chemistry are unknown. They are
believed to be proteins but that is yet to be completely proved.
Prion stands for proteinaceous infectious particles . Prions are known to cause
many diseases involved with nervous systems like the brain. They are the ones that
cause the well known mad cow disesase in Britain and scrapie for animals. For
humans they are known to cause a rare disease in Papua New

This protein was found to be a glycoprotein (PrP): sugars are bounded to the amino
acid, and it is half the size of hemoglobin. PrP is the protein, but we can also find
today PrPc (for cellular) and PrPsc (for scrapie). Prp can be found in steak ( skeletal
muscle) and also on the surface of lymphocytes present in milk, but there is no
evidence that the ingestion of this things can cause disease in humans , but there is
the still a risk.
Amyloid hypothesis.
Prions were found to form rods: long fibrils in brain tissues infected with scrapie and
Creutzfeldt Jacob disease. They believed that the fibrils can be distiguished from
amyloid; that they represent a filamentous animal virus causing scrapie and that they
are elongated form of prion rods.The most impotant aspect of these rods is the
resemblance to amyloid. Amyloid plaques in the central nervous system form
considered accumulations of waste formed as some sort of a disease process. This
plaques are believed to be aggregations of prions in an almost crystalline state. The
production of antibodies to PrP allowed to demonstrate that amyloid plaques in the
brain of scrapie infected hamsters contain prion proteins. This amyloid plaques have
been found on
Alzheimer s disease patients, which leads to the question if prions are related to that
disease. Although it has not been proven yet, the hypothesis is quite reliable. Can
prions infectivity be reduced or eliminated?
27. The Causes Of Human Laziness And The Environment
The amount of laziness a human exhibits seems to have a positive correlation with
the amount of pollution that the human gives off. The start of human laziness dates
back all the to the start of the human race. Research has shown that humans are
biologically born with laziness, but the amount of laziness differs between humans
(Hreha). The greatest danger to the environment is humanlaziness. Being lazy is a
great thing because so much time is saved. Time may be saved, but in exchange, the
environment gets destroyed instead. Driving a car to work may be faster, but it also
destroys the environment so much faster. Biking to the store serves the same purpose
and it saves the environment greatly. Cars are a huge contributor to global warming.
Cars and trucks combined are responsible for one fifth of all US emissions. They
release about 24 pounds of carbon dioxide and other global warming gases for
every gallon of gas used (Union of Concerned Scientists). About five pounds of
those gases come from production, extraction, and delivery of gasoline. More than
19 pounds are released per gallon from a car s tailpipe (Union of Concerned
Scientists). 1.2 billion cubic yards of polluted air is from manufacture. Painting and
coating cars produces 40 million pounds of air releases and 24 million pounds of
hazardous wastea year. A car s lifetime produces 1.3 billion cubic yard of polluted
air and scatters 40 pounds of worn tire particles, brake debris, and worn road
surface into the atmosphere (Bike to Work Day). Pollutants released a year add up
to over 12,140 lbs for cars and 17,000 for light trucks. Some of those pollutants are
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides (Bike to Work
Day). By choosing to bike or walk instead of drive, the amount of gases and waste
contributing to global warming, drops drastically. Choosing to drive instead of taking
a greener form of transportation is a great threat to the environment. Plastic water
bottles are seen and consumed everywhere. Without knowing the deadly effects that
water bottles have on the environment, consumers will keep buying them and
contribute to the problem. About 17 million barrels of oil are used each year solely
to make water bottles

The Emergence of Surf Music
Many different music styles emerged during the early 1960 s. One of these music
styles that was perhaps the most prominent music style to ever come out of Southern
California was Surf Music. Surf music was a short lived phenomenon that occurred
from 1961 to 1965 (Nostalgia, 2002). Along with the surf music craze, Hollywood
also started producing numerous movies about surfing, including Gidget, and Endless
Summer (St. James Encyclopedia, 2003 and Nostalgia, 2002). These movies had
some amazing soundtracks that helped popularize the surf music phenomenon. There
are two different forms of surf music; instrumental and vocal (Holm, 1998 and St.

First, let s start with the innovator of surf music and the king of the surf guitar;
Dick Dale. Dick was originally from Boston, but he moved to Southern California
when he was seventeen (Wikipedia, 2003). While in California, he became
popular for his country guitar playing. At the same time, he was spending a lot of
time with the surfers on the beaches in California. He immediately became
intrigued by the spirit of the surf culture, and the splendor of the ocean waves. He
began experimenting with his music, trying to capture the rhythm and sounds of
the ocean. He formed the group Dick Dale and the Del tones in 1961 (Wikipedia,
2003 and Bettenville). His live performances became a huge local draw, and his
double picking guitar style was admired by many (even Leo Fender who asked
him to test some of his new amplifier prototypes with the notion that if his
amplifiers could survive Dick Dale s playing, they could survive anything)
(Bettenville). At the end of 1961, he released his first single, Let s Go Trippin ,
which is considered to be the first surf rock recording (St. James Encyclopedia,
2003). He followed that recording with a few more locally released songs, including
Jungle Fever and Surf Beat

6. The smallest interval was 10OC, i.e. the difference between 20OC and 30OC. Yes
this was a suitable interval because by moving from 20OC to 30OC there was a
difference in the resistance of _____ Ohms. It was also possible to see a pattern in
the results using intervals of 10OC. However to create a more accurate line of best
fit I could have used intervals of 5OC. If I had the resistance value of 15OC would
have been ______ Ohms (read this off your graph).
CIRCLE the anomalous results in BOTH the table of results and graph if you have
any. Make sure you say;
a. Whether each result is a higher or lower value than it should be.
b. What could have caused it, the best answers for this are;
i. If it was too high, the thermistor was not given time to warm to the temperature of
the water bath and therefore was taking a reading at a lower temperature. ii. If it was
too low the temperature must have been higher than thought. The way this could
have happened is if the thermistor was held close to the heating element in the water
bath and been in a hot spot.
7. The results could be useful because in the context a company is always making a
product which will turn something on (a thermostat in a house central heating system,
fire alarm in a room which has got hot) or off (a kettle when the water is at 100OC).
The manufacture needs to know the resistance at the temperatures which are
important for these functions, so that they can
31. A Research On Pedestrian Detection
The four papers about pedestrian detection we chose to summarize were great and
informative, all suggested useful techniques and new ideas in deep learning for
pedestrian detection. However, there were few open issues or room for
improvement in some of the papers. Here are some of the ideas we suggested to
resolve these issues in each paper.
Joint Deep Learning for Pedestrian Detection (UDN)
Even though the Unified Deep Net (UDN) method learned features by designing
hidden layers for the Convolutional Neural Network such that features, deformable
parts, occlusions, and classification can be jointly optimized, one of its problems is it
treats pedestrian detection as a single binary classification task, which is not able to
capture rich pedestrian variations. For example, the method is not able to distinguish
pedestrians from hard negatives due to their visual similarities. This problem can be
resolved by jointly optimizing pedestrian detection with auxiliary semantic tasks,
such as including pedestrian attributes and scene attributes, which was represented in
our previous report.
Another problem with the UDN method is it did not explicitly model mixture of
templates for each body parts, and did not depress the influence of background
clutters. Thus, the method could be improved by explicitly model the complex
mixture of visual appearance at multiple levels. For example, some extra layers can
be added into the hierarchy of the UDN, so that at each feature level, this

Grimm Brothers created a dark and simple fairy tale that was full of unexpected
twists and turns. Each sentence was very simple, and didn t add unnecessary details.

Gaming experts agree that the start of the popularity of online bingo started in 1996,
a time when internet use was exploding and many casinos are starting to see the web
as the next frontier for bingo and casino gaming. Instead of the use of physical balls
as practiced in bingo halls, online bingo makes use of the Random Number Generator
(RNG) to pick the numbers that will be shown on the screen.
When you play bingo online, you will be treated to other new modern features that
add another dimension to one s bingo playing experience. Another popular
functionality that can be seen online is the chat room, a feature that allows bingo
players to chat with one another while waiting to play bingo online, or while waiting
for the next bingo room to open. For players looking for comfort and convenience
when playing the game, they can also count on bingo s auto daub feature. If the auto
daub feature is activated, the system will automatically mark off the numbers on the
virtual card. This is a great feature for players who want to multi task online, and
wants convenience when playing bingo games at all times. Other features that are

Both use theme to develop the leading male characters, and the conflicts that they
both go through. Another important use of this theme is to show the effects of their
confession when they finally tell their sins. When John confesses, he realizes he
may have a little bit of good in him, and is not afraid to be hung as a witch. When
the minister confesses, he tells the entire town that everyone sins. After confessing
he is eligible to let his daughter kiss him in public and die a happy man. Even
though both works have a common theme, they develop a plot in a different way.
The common theme allows the authors something that is different in both works and
uses symbolism in each. In The Crucible John signing his name on the paper
confessing the witch craft is stating that he gives up his freedom and the last of his
dignity. He knew after signing this he would be an outcast, which could be worse
than death. When he tears the confession paper, this symbolizes him breaking free
and not giving away his life. The Scarlet Letter the A represents sin and everyone in
Boston notices it and she is shunned. She was known as a sinner and he baby was
the devil s baby. She learns to live with It and except. In both, symbolism is used to

Evaluating the Impact of the Internet on Publishers and Bookstores Using the value
change model to evaluate the impact of the internet requires specific activities to be
identified as to where information systems can be best utilized with a competitive
strategic impact to company s market share and bottom line. This requires these basic
activities be viewed as a series of activities that add value to the company s products
or services being offered (Laudon Laudon, 2014, p. 101). According to (Laudon,
2014) these systems within the company must be identified as either a primary or a
support activity including external value partners outside the firm. The Primary
activity of B N is to sell books, which information systems play an intricate role in the
accomplishment of this. Not having these information systems in place would almost

37. Religion Is An Organized System Of Worship
Faith is a belief or a prediction of the future while religion is an organized system
of worship followed by a group of people (Pyle 1). While both sound mostly
superstitious, they are very necessary for the running of the daily human lives.
Humans, for the fear of the unpredictable future, often come up with myths that they
hope will keep them safe. It serves them well, as it helps them carry on with their
daily activities with reduced fear and anxiety. However, the problems begin when
they think that everyone one else must follow their faith. With their superiority in
numbers or other forms of power such as firearms, they might be tempted to follow
other minor and weaker groupings to be part of them or perish. In this way, religion
and faith have been used to steal wealth from weaker kingdoms and make slaves out
of previously free humans.
One significant positive impact that has been created by religion is the unification
of people from various cultures through one faith. However, this has also created a
lot of trouble as some cultures have been swallowed up by others. Religions have
given us great timeless artistic masterpieces and musical composition for the use of
worship by the masses.
A common misconception regarding faith and religion is that other people have to
believe what one believes. The misconception convinces the believers that only their
religion is the right one, and other people should follow it without question. Such
indoctrination has led to inter and
38. Public Broadcasting in the Article “Moving beyond the...
In their article Moving beyond the Vast Wasteland , Laurie Ouellette and Justin
Lewis critique how public broadcasting functions in the US. Liberal reformers hold
to the view that television needs protection from commercialism. The liberal
reformer view contains cultural and class hierarchies. They believe that public
television is for the white, college educated middle class viewer who has cultural
capital (Ouellette Lewis, 96). As a result, funding for public broadcastinghas gone
primarily towards high culture and intellectual programs and not sitcoms or other
popular forms of television. Ouellette and Lewis disagree with this, saying that these
types of high brow programming are not the only ones worthy of public investment.
Instead, they argue that popular programs that are being commercially maintained
also merit public support and investment (96). Rather than reserving public
broadcasting for more educational programming, the authors argue that there is a
more progressive solution that can incorporate popular media forms while still
veering away from commercialization. Thus far, pubic television has failed to adopt
popular media forms. Public television stations such as PBS failed to attract larger
and more diverse audiences because they kept their programming intellectual and dull
rather than building on popular aspects of television culture. Ouellette and Lewis
argue that PBS could have incorporated sitcoms, soaps, and sports into their
programming and then

40. An Argument Against The Virtue of Selfishness by Ayn Rand
In The Virtue of Selfishness Ayn Rand argues that self interest is the norm of
ethics. Perhaps the strongest argument Rand gives for this claim relies on the
argument that it is up to every individual to decide what values his or her life
needs. Since it is important to know what morals one should have, or if one should
even have any. In this paper I will argue that this argument fails because a self
interested person will belittle the interests of others for their own good, therefore
damaging the relationship he or she has with others. In the same book The Virtue
of Selfishness Rand argues that the moral person is the one who is committed to
acting in his or her self interest and by living through the doctrine; one survives,
succeeds, and gains contentment. Self interested people also live by seven other
virtues which according to Rand makes the moral person, in addition Rand also
suggests that self interest is the premise for pesonal happiness and an independent
and prosperous world. Rand says, Man is a being of self made soul. In other
words, man makes his or her own essence. For example, when someone is born,
throughout time that person decides what he or she will believe in, thus allowing
that person to invent him or herself. So far so good. However, Rand further claims
that humans are not born with bad intentions. I do not have enough space to address
all of Rands arguments for why she believes people are not born with bad intentions.

Liquefied Natural Gas Transportation and Its Risks
Mother Nature gave us natural resources to patronize and natural gas is one of them.
Small quantities of ethane, propane, butane and pentane are found in the natural gas
composition but it is mostly made up of methane. The high volume of pipeline gas
makes it difficult for it to be transported in its gaseous form. This is the reason why
the oil industry is dominating because of how easy it can be transported. Pipelines
are suitable for transporting pipeline natural gas but constructing the suitable
infrastructure is very expensive and not technically feasible for global
transportation.1 In addition, for you to be able to make it in the gas industry you
need trading partners to buy your natural gas. Having said that, one can deduce that

The advantage of LNG is that it can be regasified when it gets to the end user. More
companies are getting into the LNG market as it is more profitable and less
expensive with less hazardous emissions to the atmosphere. Countries that do not
have natural gas import it from other countries as liquefied gas and regasify it.
Importing LNG is advantageous for developing countries as LNG is good for
boosting the economy of a country. It does that by allowing foreign direct
investment where other countries open and run natural gas companies in other
countries. Shell is a foreign company in Nigeria but it boosts the economy of
Nigeria by increasing the gross domestic product and the total income in Nigeria.
The growth of the LNG market creates jobs through construction of natural gas plans
and other facilities that need to be in place for storage and regasification process.2
LNG helps oil companies to increase their revenue by selling the natural gas that
comes with oil other than flaring it to the atmosphere hence decreasing harmful

Of...
The sun and the moon have long been seen as a dichotomy through various cultures.
Day and night, hot and cold; the list can continue with different interpretations. But,
in a Gulag labour camp, where a convict s thoughts are no freer than he is (40)
subjected only to the unjust oppression by the Soviet government their ideas of what
the sunand mooncan mean is significantly repressed to ideas of misfortunes that are
perpetuated by the camp and the government. In Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn s novel, One
Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, the sun and the moon are symbols of two ideas
that derive from the prisoner s experience in the Gulag camp: incarceration and
enlightenment. Although the sun is often thought as empowering, the prisoners...

The novel explores what life might be like outside of camp on one occasion, when
Ivan Denisovich s wife sent him a letter about carpet dyeing. Despite having an
opportunity outside of camp, Denisovich was indifferent because he lost the habit
of scheming how he was going to feed his family (44). The guards give prisoners
work to do, and that is the prisoner s only purpose in life once they are incarcerated.
How the sun represents incarceration despite the sun s lively connotations, it
transcends the confusion that the labour camp and the Soviet government were
stirring in the prisoner s head. Using the moon s symbolism, it leads prisoners and
the readers to contemplate on this underlying turmoil. But even though life in
prison is difficult, somehow life was easier (44) because Denisovich did not have
to bear the burden of his family. He was also questioning if life was easier here or
there (178). This seemingly unquestionable conclusion that a life of liberty outside of
camp is much easier than a life of incarceration inside of camp is being obfuscated by
the Soviet government. The prisoners no longer know what they want, and this
confusion alludes to how the Soviet government is wrecking havoc both in the camps
and the nation. Solzhenitsyn was trying to convey this idea through One Day in the
Life of
44. Why Is Michelangelo Important During The Renaissance
During the renaissance there were quite a few significant people. One of those
people was Michelangelo. He was a man of many skills and some of them include
sculpting, painting, poetry, and even architecture. You ve most likely heard of, or
even seen some of his work, since it is widely acknowledged today. Michelangelowas
one of the most significant artists during the renaissance and here s why.
Michelangelo was a very gifted sculptor. Some of his most recognizable sculptures
would be the statue of Moses, the statue of David, and the statue Pieta. Many people
consider him one of the greatest sculptors ever. Let s start with the statue of Moses. It
is located in the church of San Pietro in Vincoli, Rome. The statue was built after

He was able to chisel and paint very fine details such as veins, wrinkles, muscles,
and bones into his art. The reason he achieved such realism was because as a young
man he studied anatomy and dissected human corpses, which allowed him to gain a
better understanding of the human body. Michelangelo also attended the Humanist
academy where he studied some important philosophers and writers who influenced
his art. Some of them include: Marsilio Ficino, Pico della Mirandola, and Poliziano.
Around the age of 16, he was also able to work with a sculptor named Bertoldo di
Giovanni. Another thing that influenced Michelangelo s art style was his interest in
Greek and Roman art. He brought back certain details in Greek and Roman art which
also influenced other artists to paint art that wasn t Christian themed. He was a
dedicated catholic, which inspired many of his
45. The Treatment Of Indigenous Australians
Treatment of Indigenous Australians
Indigenous Australians are the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals of
Australia, plummeted from gatherings that existed in Australia and encompassing
islands preceding European colonization. There is incredible assorted qualities
among various Indigenous people group and social orders in Australia, each with its
own particular blend of societies, traditions and dialects. In present day Australia
these gatherings are further separated into nearby communities. At the season of
starting European settlement, more than 250 dialects were talked; it is as of now
evaluated that 120 to 145 of these stay being used, and everything except 13 are
thought to be endangered. Aboriginal individuals today generally communicate in
English, with Aboriginal expressions and words being added to make Australian
Aboriginal English. Native individuals basically lived as seeker gatherers, chasing
and scavenging for sustenance from the area. Albeit Aboriginal society was by and
large versatile, or semi itinerant, moving as per the changing sustenance accessibility
found crosswise over various regions as seasons changed, the method of life and
material societies fluctuated incredibly from locale to district, and there were lasting
settlements and agriculture in a few ranges.
English colonization of Australia started with the entry of the First Fleet in Botany
Bay in 1788. One prompt outcome of British settlement was a progression of

46. Buffett s Credibility
By evoking a sense of calmness in front of his shareholders and others who feel that
he demonstrates truth that they often miss out, and learning from his mistakes and
turning his mistakes into a positive thing, Buffett successfully uses his strategic
packaging to establish credibility and integrity of leadership in public. There was
one time when Buffett went to a meeting of neighbors, who were hotly arguing what
to do about a city proposal that would reroute traffic on Farnam Street. He stood up
and calmly suggested them to forget about it. And that was it; people realized that he
was right and never talked about it again. In 1977, when Buffett was facing a lawsuit
in which he was accused of attempting to monopolize a newspaper industry in
47. Gary Wockner s Argument For Using More Water
Snow falls gracefully from the sky, landing atop the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
When that snow melts into water, it collects into streams, which run into rivers, and
low down into the plains and further into different states. That water that originally
fell as snow will be collected and pumped into thousands of homes, businesses, and
farmlands in order to supply thousands of people with safe drinking water. One thing
people generally do not concern themselves with, is water usage, and so in the
United States alone, approximately 3580,000 million gallons of water was used,
with 70 percent of that coming from surface water (Price 1). With so much water
usage, the demand has already outgrown supply, and new ways of providing that
supply have been... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Since the reservoir would only be within five miles of Fort Collins, Petschek
wonders what would happen when there would be too much water within the
proposed Glade Reservoir and they would need to release the excess water.
Petschek fears that releasing water back into the River, especially so close to the
major city, would induce more flooding and destroy more property, especially
considering there have already been two 100 year floods within 17 years. So,
Petschek attempts to induce fear within the reader that putting a reservoir down cause
more flooding, and abandoning the Glade Reservoir would be a better idea than
putting hundreds of thousands of lives at

CHIRALITY AND ENANTIOMERS:
This section contains the basics needed to understand chiral drugs. Undergraduate
textbooks in chemistry are good resources for a more thorough discussion of chirality
and enantiomers. The most important point is that chiral drugs have 2 structurally
similar forms that can behave very differently in biological systems due to their
different shapes in 3 dimensional space. These 2 possible form sare termed
enantiomers, and the 2 enantiomers of a given chiral drug should be considered 2
different drugs. This topic is discussed further in the next section. each chiral center.
Optical rotation is often used because it is easier to determine experimentally than
absolute configuration,but it does not provide information about the absolute
configuration of an enantiomer. For a given enantiomer pair, one enantiomer can be
designated (+) andthe other as ( ) on the basis of the direction they rotate polarized
light. Optical rotations have also been described as dextrorotatory for (+) and
levorotatory for ( ). Racemates can be designated as (R,S) or (В±).
CHIRAL DRUGS IN BIOLOGICAL FIELDS:
Chiral drug have identical physical and chemical properties in an achiral
environment. In a chiral environment, one enantiomer may display different chemical
and pharmacologic behavior than
49. Steve Jobs s Commencement Speech
An effective speech is one which manages to leave the audience with a lesson for
life. After thoroughly analyzing Apple s CEO, Steve Jobs Commencement Speech
at the 2005 Stanford graduation, I would say it was, in fact, highly effective. Jobs
managed to summarize his life in three short stories that taught the audience some
very valuable lessons. There are various things that separate Steve Jobs speech
from any other and one of the most important might be his success in life. This can
be the factor that makes a speech be as successful as this was. If it had been told by
someone else, it wouldn t have had the same impact.
Jobs speech took place in the 2005 graduation of the University of Stanford, in the
city with the same name in California. He was assigned the commencement speech
for the event. Even though Jobs himself was a college dropout, he had deep respect
for institutions and students, and that speech he gave in Stanford was the only one
he had agreed to give as, despite being a good public speaker, he never participated in
this kind of event. He had an audience of more than twenty thousand people and yet
he managed to make it look as if it was just himself in the podium with a microphone
talking to peers. There was nothing more than that in his place and he didn t need
anything else. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It seemed as if he was trying to get the attention and build a relation with his
audience. At first this came out as a joke so maybe he was also preparing the
ground so his speech didn t seem so serious. This would work both for him and the
audience, for him because it would relief the stress and nervousness that could be
seen while he was being presented by the president of the university. In that
introduction he also let the audience know what his speech was going to be, simply

50. Argumentative Essay On School Choice
The benefits or pitfalls of school choice are especially critical in our current
political climate. For one, Betsy DeVos, the current secretary of education, is an
avid proponent of school choice. Furthermore, President Trump s 2018 budget
request includes $1.4 billion toward new public and private school choice
opportunities (United States Department of Education, 2017). As taxpayers, it is
important to determine whether this sort of funding will succeed in what it sets
out to accomplish better educated students. The relationship between student
performance and school choice is also important to policymakers, as it would be
useless to funnel over a billion dollars into a program that does not work. Finally,
this topic is important to parents nationwide who expect their children will receive
the education they are entitled to. This research seeks to explore whether school
choice positively effects American students. This simple two word phrase
encapsulates a few different ideas. For one, school choice refers to the ability of
parents to enroll their child in any school they d like. Sometimes this is in the form
of open enrollment, in which parents may enroll their child in any public school
nearby (Cullen et.al., 2005). Generally, however, school choice is often used in
conjunction with the concept of school vouchers. School vouchers allow parents to
use government funds to help pay for the school of their choice (Greene Peterson,
1999). Usually the way this works is the
51. Fast Food Obesity Essay
Throughout the years, fast food is becoming more and more of an outlet for many
people that are short on change, in a rush but still need to grab a bite to eat, or even
who are just too lazy to cook a meal. Fast food is very cheap, yet when we eat it we
don t necessarily realize the price we pay when we are starting to gain weight. Who
is to blame? The person that is addicted to fast food, or the fast food restaurants? I
agree fast food is cheap, yet delicious. I understand that it may get addicting, I do
not believe that it is the restaurants fault for your lack of self control. Eating fast
food all the time can put you up against some major health risks. As claimed by,

As the fast food world spread across the nation, obesity was shortly following in its
footsteps. According to, The History of the Fast Food Industry, Since 1970 the
amount of fast food restaurants have doubled, which equates to roughly 300,000
establishments in the United States. Ironically, 33.8% of the U.S. population is
affected by obesity and 19% of children and young adults are also affected.
Now days, you can find a fast food restaurant every time you turn a corner.
According to, Sarah Muntel, the Author of Fast Food Is It the Enemy, you can
choose from a variety of things to eat. You can get a greasy burger, crunchy tacos,
or a drink that is filled with sugar. Why should we take the time go buy and prepare
a meal when there are a variety of foods all around you? That is the problem that
we are facing. Fast food is extremely cheap. You can order dollar cheeseburgers,
dollar sodas, and you can even make those orders supersized just with pennies.
People even claim that it is cheaper to eat at a restaurant than it is to prepare a meal
in your own kitchen. Most Americans now days are having overscheduled and
overcommitted jobs, which means that there is no free time in their daily lives to
prepare their own meals. There is not anything easier than just going through the
drive thru at your favorite fast food restaurant on your way home from work, or
taking your child out for a milkshake if they do well in their baseball game. The
problem is, people don t look
