1. Persuasive Essay On Bullying
Crafting a persuasive essay on the subject of bullying can prove to be a challenging task that
requires a thoughtful and nuanced approach. Addressing this sensitive topic involves not only
delving into the various dimensions of bullying but also navigating the emotional aspects that
surround it. The difficulty arises from the need to strike a balance between presenting compelling
arguments against bullying and maintaining an empathetic tone that resonates with the audience.
Firstly, extensive research is essential to grasp the multifaceted nature of bullying, encompassing
its psychological, emotional, and social implications. Analyzing the root causes and the diverse
forms it can take requires a comprehensive exploration of academic sources, real-life examples,
and statistical data. This foundational work is crucial for building a persuasive case that is both
well-informed and convincing.
Moreover, the challenge lies in articulating the essay in a manner that not only raises awareness
about the detrimental effects of bullying but also motivates the reader to take action. The
persuasive essay should aim to inspire empathy and understanding, fostering a sense of
responsibility in the audience to combat bullying in their respective spheres.
Another aspect adding complexity to the task is the need to avoid a one-dimensional portrayal
of the issue. Effective persuasion demands a nuanced examination of the motives behind
bullying, acknowledging the potential factors that contribute to such behavior. This requires the
writer to navigate through the intricacies of societal, cultural, and psychological influences,
presenting a well-rounded perspective that considers all facets of the problem.
Furthermore, ensuring that the essay is engaging and relatable is paramount. The writer must
connect with the reader emotionally, making them feel the urgency of addressing the issue. This
involves not only mastering the art of rhetoric but also employing storytelling techniques that
resonate with the audience's own experiences and emotions.
In conclusion, the process of crafting a persuasive essay on bullying is undeniably challenging,
demanding a delicate balance of research, empathy, and effective communication. The difficulty
lies not only in understanding the complexities of the issue but also in presenting a compelling
argument that inspires action. However, by dedicating time to thorough research, employing
nuanced perspectives, and connecting with the reader on a personal level, a well-crafted
persuasive essay can be a powerful tool for raising awareness and advocating for change.

2. Pi Animal Quotes
Animals = Human ? The difference between the brain of the human and the higher
animal obviously lies in the degree, not the difference on the essence (Charles
Darwin). The purpose of the quote is to express the feeling that the animal and human
is similar, they have the human like qualities. In Life of Pi written by Yann Martel, Pi
uses animal imagery to show that animals that can be mad, suffer, and sad which are
all human qualities. In the Life of Pi, animals have the human like emotions. They
will be mad when others do something harmful to their friends. After the ship sank,
there are some animals survived on Pi s Ark : a zebra, a hyena, an ape and a tiger;
however, the hyena is hurting the zebra. The ape: But with her giant arms,... Show

The animal will be suffered like humans when Pi successfully caught the fish, he is
going to kill it in order to eat; however, he cannot kill the fish by himself. Here is a
quote why he cannot kill the fish. I put the hatchet down. I would break its neck,
sight unseen, I decided. I wrapped the fish tightly in the blanket with both hands. I
started bending it. The more I pressed, the more the fish struggled. I imagined what
it would feel like if I were wrapped in a blanket and someone were trying to break my
neck. I was appalled. I gave up a number of times. Yet I knew it had to be done, and
the longer I waited, the longer the fish s suffering would go on! (Martel P231). Pi
was so kind and he is a Christian, so he is unwilling to kill the fish; furthermore, he
has to kill the fish by breaking its neck, it s impossible for him to done this. When
the fish is suffering, they will be struggle. It s similar to the human being. When
human being are suffering like someone wrapped in a blanket and someone were
trying to break his neck. Human will be struggled, they will try their best to revolt to
alive. The fish had the same thought, they will try their best to flee away from the
blanket to keep
3. William Faulkner s Unconventional Writing Style
William Faulkner s unconventional writing style is widely renowned for his
disregard of literary rules and his keen ability to peer into the psychological depths
of his characters. His novel As I Lay Dying is no exception to his signature style. This
book sets forth the death of Addie Bundren, her family s journey through
Yoknapatawpha Countyto bury her with her relatives in Jefferson, Mississippi, and
examines each character in depth from a variety of perspectives. While this journey
wreaks havoc among members of the family, As I Lay Dying serves as a dark
reminder that life is to be lived and that happiness is within reach. Addie Bundren,
the novel s seminal character, lived a sad life. She recalls that I could just
remember how my father used to say that the reason for living was to get ready to
stay dead a long time (169). Although Addie remembers hating her father, she
adopts his philosophy. She says, I knew at last what he meant (175) and this
understanding guides her life of sorrow and sadness. She feels no comfort or joy
in her husband and merely exists with him, I did not even ask him for what he
could have given me: not Anse. That was my duty to him, to not ask that, and that
duty I fulfilled (174). Even her children have no special place in her heart, I gave
Anse the children. I did not ask for them (174). The children merely take from her
and she finds no satisfaction in mothering. The only excitement she finds in life is in
her affair with
4. The Problem With Illegal Aliens
Introduction Despite the multiple laws and policies that were implemented in the
United States, there is still a problem with illegal aliens or immigrants. The U.S.
government has spent millions of dollars to secure our southern border but, with that
being said, the government has charged the Department of Homeland Security to
create and implement new and innovative ways to justify and solidify those polices.
In this case study, there will be a focus and analytical approach to three of the main
issues which continue to surface on immigration enforcement. These issues are: who
is an illegal alien; who can detain illegal aliens; and when can they be deported?

This business specializes in the slaughter and distribution of turkey parts. In the late
80s and 90s this was one of the largest meat plants in the county. In 2008, two of the
company s top officials were charged with hiring undocumented workers for about
eight years before 300 plant workers were arrested... Most of the workers arrested in
the raid have been deported, but others have been convicted of using fraudulent
documents to obtain their jobs, the newspaper said (Savage, 2009). This situation
along with many others lead to the demise of the company many years later. Many
illegal aliens migrate to the United States for work opportunities so they can support
their families. Many people have negative attitude toward these individuals but, not
all of the individuals that migrate to the United States have bad intentions. Many just
are looking for the pursuit of happiness in the American way.
Who can detain illegal aliens? Any law enforcement branch including the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) operating under the Immigration and
Nationality Act (INA) has the right to detain any person seeking illegal entry into
the U.S. This Act was passed by congress and is the main law that legislates and
regulates immigration. This authority is prescribed by the Secretary of DHS to all
law enforcement agency operating from the local level all the way up to the federal
level.

Marisa Silver s collection, Babe in Paradise, transcribes a theme of loss located in
Los Angeles. In the collection, every character copes with loss in various
scenarios. What defines the term loss in Silver s work? A central theme in Babe in
Paradise inhibits losing a family member. However, many characters deal with loss

loss, an individual s personality can change either in a positive or negative

In the next story featuring Babe, we see how she performs after the house fire.
Thief shows the reader what happens to Babe after the fire but also introduces new
characters, Billy and his mother. As the story begins, Billy and his mother arrive
at their house being robbed. Very quickly, Billy s mother finds a woman and it
emerges to be Babe. Although, robbery was committed, Babe was given a second
chance. Once settled, all the characters give a backstory to each other. Billy, at
birth, has had a hole in his heart and his mother raised him by her standards. She
took no chances at Billy missing any medical treatments. Billy, however, sought
independence after years of unwanted assistance. Billy accepts his wheelchair
(Silver 94) as if it were his legs and his mother was like a worried airplane
passenger who valiantly stays awake to support the unaware pilot (Silver 94). Silver
introduces a new version of loss, selfishness and independence. Billy was being
controlled by her mother, but she desired a safekeeping for him. The mother was
being selfish that she did not think about what Billy had wanted. Eventually, Babe s
actions reflect what she has been through in Babe in
6. Moby Dick Ahab Quotes
Ahab, captain of the Pequod, lost his leg to the renowned whale known as Moby
Dick. He will go to the ends of the earth to get revenge on this animal. Throughout
the novel, he leads his crew on a journey of retribution. Ahab is quite strong minded
when it comes to this for if the crew deems a situation hazardous he refuses to back
down; due to the intense passion of the conflict he has with Moby Dick. Ahab has a
deep desire to killMoby Dick, which leads him to go mad, and ends in the death of
every crewmember except Ishmael. Ahab has a personal conflict that affects not
only him but also his entire crew. Long before the Pequod, the legendary whale
named Moby Dick bit off Ahab s leg. At that moment in time Ahab made it his life
s mission to eliminate Moby Dick. As the captain of his ship he was willing to put
this quest above all else. When a crewmember thought it a poor decision to go after
Moby Dick in dreadful weather he disagreed due to this incredible desire he has for
revenge. ...The white flame but lights the way to the White... Show more content on

He meets the captain of the Rachel, captain Gardiner, who says that they have just
spotted Moby Dick. The Rachel sent three boats after the whale and they went
missing. Captain Gardiner asks Ahab for help in locating these three ships and
Ahab refuses for this will be a waste of precious time. Captain Gardiner, I will not
do it. Even now I lose time. Good bye, good bye. (419). One of these missing boats
contains the son of Captain Gardiner and this is why he was so urgent when asking
Ahab for his help. For a fellow sailor and captain, you would think that Ahab would
readily help the other captain out for if he were ever in this situation he may need
a friend to help aswell. Ahab is clearly only concerned with his life s mission to
harpoon and kill Moby Dick. Due to his selfishness, Ahab and his entire crew except
Ishmael are killed in their last encounter with Moby
7. An Analysis Of John Donne s Holy Sonnet 2
John Donne s Holy Sonnet 2 is primarily written in the traditional Petrarchan sonnet
form. One way in which Donne applies this traditional form is through the use of an
octave, in which the narrator establishes a problem that causes anxiety and personal
turmoil. The octave is then followed by a sestet, where the narrator attempts to
organise and present a solution to the issue given in the octave, or there is a change of
tone in the narrator s voice. Wisheth that still he might be imprisoned; / Yet grace...
Although there is a change in tone with the narrative voice, Donne s use of
punctuation and enjambment between lines eight and nine suggests that Donne does
not rigorously adhere to the traditional Petrarchan form. As the poem becomes
detached from this tradition and increases the narrator s conflict and feeling of
entrapment and suppression. This, in turn, might indicate that the narrator has no
solution for his black soul and reflects the narrator s anxiety and fear about not
being able to repent, or, at least, not being able to repent the way in which would
correspond to the narrator s personal religious beliefs. Anne Coles Kimberly argues
that the Calvinist doctrine held that man is resistant to God (due to sin), but that God
will draw his elect to him. Donne, however, is not

Amazon further offers free shipping on Kindle content and better online shopping
options. Despite Netflix s monthly charge, their service gives members the
flexibility of monthly fee offers, and the option to terminate and restart service
whenever desired. The decision of whether or not Amazon should increase their
streaming content depends. The company currently offers the latest movies and
television shows content at a cost saving price, unlike Netflix who offers older
shows and movies for three dollars less per year, but charges up to an additional
twelve dollars more to rent recent movies. In my opinion I believe that the company
is doing exceptionally well and does not need to extend their library content, unless
they would like to incorporate older movies or foreign movies into their package.

rivals teamed effortlessly to distribute Amazon s e book through the iPad s Kindle

9. The Middle Age White Man
However, the middle age white man having control is perhaps out of touch with
reality. In today, society we live in a diverse community. The employment within the
business community has not been only black and white for a while either an all men
s clubs. One author writes, the end of white man control is actually good for the
white man (Schwyzer, 2012). In reality, the white man could possibly live longer due
to less stress, finally stop the unhelpful whining of the guilt of their ancestors,
honesty, trust and fairness may prevail in the workplace.
As we shift, focusing on gender equity in the business community a quote from
antiracist, educator, and author Tim Wise, we (referring to white man) have to take
some responsibility for the unearned advantage, which mean working to change the
society which bestow the advantage (Wise, 2013). Through an evaluation of a
catalyst study, only 12 women in the United States have been inaugurated to the
corporate boardroom. According to the Organization for Economic Co operation and
Development (OECD) stated, women are the most underutilized economic asset in
the world s economy (Ledbetter, 2014). Perhaps, the process for a gender equality
movement is slowly moving.
As we look, the development is moving from patriarchy to fairness in Corporate
America. The Feminist Theory defines patriarchy as an unjust social system that
enforces gender roles (Richards, 2013). Whereas, corporations in America utilize this

Disproportionate Incarceration of African Americans
The disproportionate numbers of African Americans in the prison system is a very
serious issue, which is not usually discussed in its totality. However, it is quite
important to address the matter because it ultimately will have an effect on African
Americans as a whole. Of the many tribulations that plague Americans today, the
increase in the amount of African Americanmen and women in prisons is
unbelievable. It would be naГЇve to say that the increase is due to the fact that more
African Americans are committing crimes now than before. When in actuality it has

Today, the opposite is true with 35% of the prisonpopulation made up of whites.
Specialists have speculated that by the end of the year 2000, roughly one million
African American adults will be behind bars. That will constitute for almost one in
every 14 black men being in jail. And as of December 31, 1999 there were
1,366,721 African American men and women under federal and state jurisdiction.
This implies that there has been a 3.4% increase since December 1,1998. The face
of crime to white America is now that of a black man says David Bositis, Center for
Political and Economic Studies, senior political analyst. While incarceration statistics
have skyrocketed, crime rates have increased much more slowly. Politicians sought
out political points by enforcing tough on crime laws. By doing this the politicians
increase public panic by portraying the urban underclass as young black males.

Obesity is an increasing problem all over the world and its prevalence differs from
one area to another. According to World health Organization (WHO) obesity is
defined as body mass index (BMI) of 30kg/m2 or more.1
It was reported that the proportion of obesity in surgical patients is greater than
general population.2 This means that anesthesiologists are going to deal with
increased number of obese patients whose airway management is one of their own
responsibilities. Endotracheal intubation is more difficult in obese than in lean
patients.3 Difficult tracheal intubation is defined by the American Society of
Anesthesiologists (ASA) as tracheal intubation requiring multiple attempts in the
presence or absence of tracheal pathology.4 1 Failure of tracheal intubation is one of
the major causes of morbidity and mortality during anesthesia.5,6
Consequently, the use of new tools that increase the success of tracheal intubation,
particularly in settings of potentially difficult intubation, can have a profound clinical
impact.
The LMA CTrachВ® is a modified intubating laryngeal mask airway, which
incorporates an inbuilt integrated fibreoptic system and a detachable battery powered
LCD colour monitor with a light source that enables visualization of glottis during
intubation.7

Comparison of various metallization schemes for ohmic contacts to n type GaN.
Abstract:
Three ohmic contact metallization schemes to n type GaN (n GaN) namely Ti/Al/Ni
/Au, Ti/Al/Mo/Au and Ti/Al/Re/Au are compared with respect to their contact
resistance, root mean square values of surface roughness, annealing temperature and
the mechanism of ohmic contact formation.
Introduction:
Gallium nitride (GaN) is a binary III/V direct bandgap semiconductor with a bandgap
of 3.4 eV commonly used in light emitting diodes since the 1990s. GaN has a low
sensitivity to ionizing radiation which makes it a suitable material for solar panels
on satellites. Various military and space application also benefit from the usage if
this radiation hardened material. Besides the wide bandgap, high breakdown field
and high saturation velocity of GaN make it very promising for high power, high
speed and high temperature electronic devices. GaN devices offer five key
characteristics: high dielectric strength, high operating temperature, high current
density, high speed switching and low on resistance. These characteristics are due to
the properties of GaN, which, compared to silicon, offers ten times higher electrical
breakdown characteristics, three times the bandgap, and exceptional carrier mobility.
Low resistance Ohmic contacts with a smooth morphology, and good edge acuity and
thermal stability are imperative in the successful implementation of all these devices,
particularly high power devices

An author can only partially structure an experience in an attempt to elicit a
desired response from the reader, for there are two types of readers an author must
consider: the implied reader and the actual reader. The implied reader is assumed
and created by the work itself whereas, the actual reader brings his/her own
experiences to the text and thus each reader takes away a different message from a
text (MacMannus, para 1). Du Bois s narrative, A Mild Suggestion , attempts to

Clearly, she has been bothered by his suggestion and resigns silently to her cabin.
The mention of her silence is important, because it demonstrates that there is no one
there with whom she is willing to share a reaction. The presentation of her as an
isolated individual furthers the reader s feeling of sympathy toward her and allows
for women in her situation to identify with her felt isolation and ostracization. Du
Bois finishes with her reaction, because it is the most powerful. Thus, the reaction
of the Little Old Lady develops pathos in the reader and forces the reader to consider
the deeper meaning of the colored man s story.
The reader is also affected by the reaction of the Southerner and the Woman.
Throughout, these two individuals are presented as unified and in the end the
Southerner chooses the Woman. Specifically, the narrator states that these two were
heard to say something about fools (94). Who exactly are the fools? Are the fools
the Southerner and the Woman for having listened to the story? Are they the
emancipationists who gave the colored man a voice? Or are the fools all
emancipated colored men? The word fool is used in a plural sense and consequently
leaves the reader to openly interpret its meaning. The effect on the audience is one of
disassociation from the Southerner because the reader does not want to be lumped in

The effect of utilization of ultrasound via an increase in local blood flow can be used
to help reduce local swelling and chronic inflammation, and, according to some
studies promote bone fracture healing [6]. There are two different ways in which US
can be used to treat disease, continuous and pulsed ultrasound. Continuous
ultrasounds are typically responsible for the heating effect in the tissues because it
uses an unmodulated continuous wave ultrasound beam with limited intensities. In
comparison, the pulsed ultrasound beam is modulated to deliver brief pulses of high
intensity separated by longer pauses of no power. It is suggested that pulsed
Ultrasound be recommended for acute pain and inflammation and continuous
ultrasound for the treatment of restricted movement [7]. In general, ultrasound is a
safe treatment that has been used in osteoarthritis therapy for years. It delivers heat to
deep structures of the body, and it is thought that this heat helps improve that way
that your body heals. Numerous studies found positive links between ultrasound and

at a very young age. Through his death, he made the ultimate sacrifice for his
country, and that is one of the reasons he is a true hero. Adam Brown achieved his
American Dream by overcoming drugs, becoming a father, and joining the Navy
SEALS. Adam was an extraordinary kid. He feared nothing. When he was two, he
jumped 12 feet from the deck at his house (pg 13). He played football, had amazing
family and friends, and had his fair share of trouble. He always was kind to
everyone and stood up for the underdog (pg 25). All of his classmates and teachers
adored him. The worst mistake of his life started the first time he tried drugs (pg
44). This started a whirlwind of pain and anxiety on all of Adam s family. Adam
would disappear for long periods of time, steal from his parents, and had many bad
influences (pg 48). He hit the lowest of the low while at a party when he stabbed
himself in the neck (pg 55). This was very hard for everyone that knew Adam. He
got sent to a rehab facility and faced many challenges while he was there (pg 57).
He finally got released out into the real world after finishing the 12 step AA program

22. Development Of Optical Imaging Tools For Synapse Typing
Essay
Development of Optical Imaging Tools for Synapse Typing
Restructure of synapse types and alternations of dynamics of neurotransmitters and
neuromodulators have been implicated in a number of human neurological and
psychiatric diseases, including autism, Alzheimer s disease, Parkinson s disease,
schizophrenia, and addiction1,2. However, little is known about how molecular
compositions define different types and functions of synapses and how different
synapses organize in micro and macroscale to give rise to complex brain functions
and disorders, due to lack of appropriate tools to characterize synaptic biomolecules in
situ in large scale. Here, I propose a novel research program to develop transformative
tools for large scale mapping of synaptic biomolecules, functional imaging of
neurotransmission and neuronal signaling. Specifically, it will evolve along three
main themes: 1. Expansion pathology for highly multiplexed, in situ and nanoscale
biomolecular imaging. 2. Optogenetic neurotransmitter indicator; 3. in situ imaging
tools for endogenous protein protein interaction; This program will expand on the
themes of my previous work on engineering optogenetic indicators for neuronal
activities, such as calcium ions3,4 and voltage5,6 indicators, as well as my current
work on devising a clinically optimized form of expansion microscopy7,8, which
contribute new capabilities to the broader communities of neuroscience, cell biology,
pathology and medicine.

For many years now, Hmong clan leaders have felt that the Hmong language is
slowly deteriorating throughout newer generations. First, it began with the writing,
and then it slowly advanced to the loss of speaking the language altogether. The loss
of this beautiful, perishing language hasn t slowed down as the English language
continues to globally dominate the world. I have watched this dispute occur
throughout my life as distant relatives question my parent s way of raising my
siblings and I too not speak Hmong, therefore creating tension within my sense of
self, and culture.

However, alternating between Hmong and English at school confused this crowd of
people I went to school with, thus creating a boulder of stereotypes of the Hmong
language. In fifth grade, it was my first time I ever heard, Do you speak Chinese?
Trying to be in an environment where learning and diversity should be welcome it
only confused my sense of self because now I felt that I couldn t express who I am
at school in words that could ve been explained properly in Hmong. This idea that
alternating between languages can produce stereotypes of one s culture made me
aware of how I can speak to others in the public.
For some time, I had no opinion on preserving the Hmong language. I believed if
the eighteen Hmong clan leaders were going to do something about, then they will.

The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) tells a tale of thieves that behave more
honorable than the nobles of their time. The bandits known as the Merry Men lead
by a notorious thief and Errol named Robin Hood (Errol Flynn). He leads the Merry
Men in treacherous deeds to steal from those who have the most in the land and give
everything they take to lazy, scumbags, treacherous, poor people. They protect the
helpless women and children from the noble knights and kings. This seems very
confusing to most because the Merry Menare supposed to be the enemy of the
righteous people. In this essay we are going to discuss the key notes of the Code of
Chivalry to express why Robin Hoodand his Merry Men are actually noble even

Robin is in England at a point where the noble are oppressing the poor with taxes
and harsh punishments. Prince John (Claude Rains) has forcefully taken over the
crowd and plans to tax the poor to get more money for his brother s release from
capture. Robin hood and the gang are just trying to level the score and this is
where are first code of chivalry comes into play. Robin Hood shows us he is a
defender of women and children by taking the food from Much (Herbert Mundin)
that he catches and gives it to the hungry people in the town even though it is illegal
to hunt the king s meat. Then he also protects the women by not harming Maid
Marian (Olivia de Havilland) when they capture the legion of Prince John s men.
These examples give the audience an understanding that the bandits are actually the
good guys because villains are savages and mean to the helpless but as we can see,
they are the heroes in this dark

In between 1500 and the 1800, Europeans nations have gathered resources from
Africa and increase its wealth and national power. In order to have control over
Africa, Europeans overpowered Africa with its technology advancement and its
greed for wealth and power. However, what motivated Europeans to imperialize
Africa? In order to imperialize Africa, the Industrial Revolution, resources, and
Darwinism or nation competition was the motivation to imperialize Africa. The
Industrial Revolution helped Europeans travel all the way to Africa to conquer it
with its inventions and scientific discoveries. The Industrial Revolution helped
Europeans have advancement in technology which led to an easier way to take
over Africa. In Africa, there was a disease called malaria that is caused by
mosquitoes that usually live near the wet areas in Africa. In 1820, Europeans have
found a method of treating the disease, such as getting the quinine from a bark from
a tree called cinchona. This helped Europeans conquer Africa more easily from

Different countries in Africa have different resources that helped European
nations increase their wealth. By the 1854, exports used to be low as about 3
million of British pounds for exports but imports were a bit more higher. Despite
having low exports, the exports have increased drastically by the 1900. In order to
get these wealth, all these resources from these countries helped increase this

27. Euripides And The Tragical History Of Doctor Faustus, By...
From childhood, all individuals are taught that, whether it be at the hands of one s
parents, the government, or even some form of divine intervention (like karma, or
god), there is an ultimately inescapable judgment that awaits everyone who
transgresses against that which is right or just. Take from the cookie jar before
dinner? No TV for a week. Break the law by stealing from a store, or worse? Spend
days, or years, incarcerated. Fail to abide by a number of seemingly arbitrary moral
codes? Spend all of eternity being tormented in a realm of fire after you die. But
despite how deeply the concept of crime and punishment is ingrained in each culture
of each era since the dawn of humankind, there remains an insatiable desire to rebel
against the standards that are upheld by society as right, whether it be for personal
worldly gain, out of academic curiosity, or righteous indignation.
As a people, humanity has long expressed rebellion of thought through the arts,
exploring the taboos of society, and asking questions about why we live as we do,
and what the implications may be, not just for the world, but for our souls. Two
such pieces of art are the classic plays Medea, by Euripides, and The Tragical History
of Doctor Faustus, by Christopher Marlowe. Though these two great works couldn t
be more different in setting or thematic subject matter (and naturally so, since they re
separated by over 1,000 years), they utilize similar theatrical tropes to explore the

was not the exact same and both creators obviously did not know each other his
quote can be implied in a way to this. A book is a tremendously strong weapon
because books have the power to change one s perspective therefore the poor man
and the rich king despite being hungry can benefit from each other and become
much more knowledgeable. No manner how long the night, the day is sure to come

When considering the events of the past, the selective nature of representation
predestines the unattainability of an absolute truth. However, a deep understanding

The novel The Fiftieth Gate by Mark Baker, a discussion of his parent s experiences
as Holocaust survivors and the film Au Revoir Les Enfants by Louis Malle, about a
young boy s friendship with a Jewish hideaway in a French boarding school, both

As evident when Malle described the film on the screenplay; I reinvented the past in
the pursuit of a haunting and timeless truth . He acknowledges that truth does not
exist, but that through his own representation of a mix of history and memory, a
deep understanding of the past can be conveyed. Malle represents history through
recurring Nazi imagery, and historically accurate anti Semitic signs labelled No
Jews allowed . This has a powerful effect on the viewer, who in turn can understand
the events at a greater level. Malle stated in a 1999 interview; the process of
representation is tortured and complicated. His choice to include researched
historical information and not just that of his young memory, places the emotive
journey of the film into a wider context or reality and detail. The way in which
history informs memory within the film is essential in achieving a viewer s deep and

The central theme of Maurice halbwach in his book On Collective memory is the
relationship between memory and the society. This book constitutes nature,
memories of individuals, social class and religion. Not only is the nature of
collective memory important but also the linguistic part of the collectivity is also
looked upon. Halbwach is of the view that memory is not static, it is a dynamic one.
It is because memory is continuously reconstructed and one of the medium is through
language with which they convey. Within the structure of family, class and religion
there could be many frameworks of memory working simultaneously. From the
works of scholars like Emile Durkheim and Henri Bergson, Maurice halbwach

His friends used to talk about football for which halbwach did not have any interest

versa. As it was difficult for him go along with people from other communities and
places, he was excluded from his friends collective memory and their memory from
Halbwachs s. He gives another example where after the disintegration of Soviet
Union the history books showed the biases as people who were killed then were
now termed as heroes. Thus collective real memory was shedding and
reconstruction of new memories was taking place. The whole soviet history had to
be re written of the last 70 years. The books also demolished the old and real
memories and new generations are learning the reconstructed
32. Dark Matter, By Fritz Zwicky
Dark Matter was first proposed by Fritz Zwicky in the 1930 s when he observed the
motions of galaxies and he noticed that the amount of visible objects could not
account for the observations he made. There had to be some invisible mass holding
these galaxies together. It is known that 25% of our universe is made up dark matter
versus 4% of the visible matter we know and interact with every day. The leading
candidates for dark matter are MACHOs and WIMPS. Gravitational lensing is one
of the ways we can infer the presence dark matter, since we cannot see it directly.
With the discovery of dark matter, the standard modelof physics no longer answers all
the questions. For that, we need another model, called supersymmetry.
Dark matter ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This didn t make any sense as we would expect orbits to be slower the further from
the center they are located (The University of Texas McDonald Observatory). With
the discovery of dark matter, and discovering the missing mass, the thought was
that the universe would end in a Big Crunch. However, that is not the case because
something else is causing the expansion of the universe at an accelerating rate, this
is known as Dark Energy. We ve also been able to measure the cosmic microwave
background radiation from the after effects of the big bang. The microwave
radiation tells us the composition of the universe, including that there must have
been dark matter (Powell, 2013). The two leading culprits of dark matter are
MACHOs, or MAssive Compact Halo Objects, and WIMPS, or Weakly Interacting
Massive Particles (Newman, 2009). MACHOs are baryonic matter, meaning they
consist of protons and neutrons, which include black holes, brown dwarfs, and
neutron stars (Newman, 2009). These objects produce a phenomena known as
gravitational lensing (Goldsmith). Gravitational lensing happens when objects,
like a black hole, brown dwarfs, or neutron star, pass in front of a star or a galaxy
and cause light itself to bend. That is, from Earth we observe a black hole and
directly behind that is a galaxy, the light emitted from the galaxy gets bent around
the black hole. There is almost a halo like appearance around the black hole due to
the distortion of
33. Jazz Age In The Great Gatsby
Perhaps the most interesting element of Fitzgerald s The Great Gatsby and the
perspective it presents to readers on the 1920 s is how it does so in an
irredeemably negative light. One would expect the Jazz age in American history,
lovingly called the Roarin 20 s, to be a time of flourishment, success and
materialization of the American dream. For many this was the case and for even
more it was no more tangible and common than the idea of the nuclear family that
would be propagated in the 1950 s. With the style, fads and even the popular choice
of music for the time. It s not a difficult sell to imply the Jazz age is the non fiction
equivalent of Gatsby s rise and fall in Fitzgerald s novel, or rather the two have
come to be symbolic of one another due to how history played out. What I hope to
prove here, more than anything, is that the Jazz age as it stands in American
history, will always be tied to the success and timelessness of the Fitzgerald novel
and how new generations of Americans can be drawn to it s themes. Perhaps the
biggest appeal the 20 s gave to those who lived through it was the sense that anyone
had the power to control the outcome of their success, directly; a belief in what
today we may call pulling oneself up by their bootstraps . Incidentally this is also the
philosophy Fitzgerald seems most interested in deconstructing in his novel. Due to
success on Wall Street in the stock market as well as public opinion accepting
consumerism as the new norm,

of Israel. Two major themes of the book are the social injustice in Israel, and the
impending doom in Israel s future. Amos is the third of the minor prophets. His

The rich oppressed the poor; might was right; it was an age of corruption. The
religious leaders in Israel believed that Yahweh materially rewarded those who honor
him and practice at the established places of worship, which meant that the poor did
not live comfortably because they refused to regularly participate in religious
activities. Amos, on the other hand, was taught that you express loyalty for Yahweh
through fair dealings among people.
People built many altars on mountains to serve the Canaanite gods, the Baal and
Ashtarte. The Golden Calves, which the first Jeroboam set up in the north and south
of the country to turn the people away from the Beth Hamikdosh in Jerusalem, were
worshipped more than before and the teachings of the Torah and the holy
commandments were viewed with contempt.
Amos began to have dreams and visions concerning this.
He had a total of five visions that express[ed] divine judgment on Israel . The first
two visions were of destructions that were avoided because Israel begged for
forgiveness.

Encouraging professional development for new and veteran teachers is very
important for multiple reasons. Often times, new teachers still need time to become
better acquainted with teaching in the classroom. On the opposite side, veteran
teachers need to know what is current in education that can be implemented in their
classroom. Professional development programs like mentorships, professional
development plans, and continued development are important programs to have in
place for teachers. For these programs to be successful and provide the support and
development that a teacher needs, they have to be quality programs. Just as students
and children have different ways that they learn, so do teachers and adults.
Programs that will provide the development in teachers that is vital for their
teaching will take this into consideration. Mentorships can be great for both new
teachers and veteran teachers because each can learn from one another. New
teachers should be paired with good veteran teachers so that they have a chance to
really learn. These have to be caring, dedicated, organized, and successful teachers

Esther s first thought of suicide occurs when she goes skiing with Buddy. The
thought of killing herself first formed as she was standing on top of the mountain
about to ski down for the first time, The thought that I might kill myself formed in
my mind coolly as a tree or a flower (97). This is the first time Esther thinks about
suicide because it was one of the first times where she was placed in a potentially
harmful position and it was up to her to ski down the slope or stay where she was.
The thought of killing herself also forms here, because while standing on top of
the slope, Esther is in a very calm state of mind and it is at this time that her mind
is blank and she is able to think about her deepest thoughts that aren t usually
revealed because of how hard she is thinking about everything else in her world.
After this first instance, Esther s subsequent thoughts and plans of suicide occur
when she practices cutting herself with a blade in front of the bathroom mirror,
when she visits her hometown, when she almost attempted to strangle herself,
when she tried to drown herself, and when she tried to overdose on pills. All of
these attempts were completely unsuccessful except for her attempt with the
sleeping pills. Esther was left undiscovered and almost dead in the basement for
several days before she was found. This last attempt is significant because it shows
how desperate Esther was to escape not only from society but mostly her mother.
Esther hid in the basement of her house and took her mom s sleeping pills. The
reason Esther even considers suicide in the first place is because she is unhappy
with her life and feels as if she has no purpose. Along with this, Esther is just upset
with her mother and society s expectations of women and she feels as if she doesn t

Once we got the company rolling and started taking on clients my friend quickly
realized that his overhead was much more than he had intended for it to be this
early on. And ultimately if we didn t start taking on revenue quickly the boat was
going to sink at harbor so to speak. To help with this I offered to work for a stake in
the company and cut my normal salary down to almost nothing until we got the
company back above water. This enabled him to bring on some lower level
employees to help with the day to day operations and let us focus on building the
business further and gathering more clientele. We took the company from a 150k
startup to a little over 5 million in yearly revenue in a little over 3 years. But my
sacrifice for the team which caused me tons of headaches and months of living on a
budget ultimately payed me out very nicely when we were acquired in our fourth
year of operations by the company You and I both work for

Introduction
The purpose of this semester long experiment was to determine an unknown organic
acid. An organic acid is an organic compound with acidic properties. A base reacts
with acids to form salts. Titrations are used to determine the concentration of
unknown substances. The purpose of the KHP experiment was to determine the
molarity of NaOH. HCl titrations are mainly to check technique and used to verify
the molarity of NaOH solution. The hypothesis is that this acid is C4H3OCOOH.

pH was recorded every time 1.00 mL of NaOH was added to beaker. When the
amount of NaOH added to the beaker was about 5.00 mL away from the expected
end point, NaOH was added very slowly. Approximately 0.20 mL of NaOH was
added until the pH made a jump. The pH was recorded until it reached ~12. This
was repeated two more times. The pKa of each trial are determined using the graphs
made on excel.

Robin Hood 1.What is Robin Hood s strategic Vision? Robin Hood s strategic
vision is to put an end to the Sheriff of Nottingham and his administration. The
Merrymen wish to stop the Sheriff from taking from the poor to provide for the
rich. 2.What is Robin Hood s current mission? Robin s mission is to successfully
revolt against the Sheriff and his administration. He and his Merrymen rob from the
rich to pay the poor. Revenge is its mission. 3.Size up Robin Hood s present

Restructuring his organization would be of vital importance. Possibly training or
hiring more lieutenants would aid in control of the group. They must have a
common goal. I believe time is of the essence. It is important to move quickly as
time creates more problems. The Sheriff strengthens in his threats as well as the
morality of the Merrymen. The longer Robin continues with his plan the Sheriff
strengthens and the Merrymen weaken. The benefits to this are many. Ultimately
King Richard s return will cease all of the problems. It would benefit the poor by
giving law back to it s community. It would solve the problem of the depletion of
natural resources within the forest. King Richard could grant Robin Hood and the
Merrymen amnesty. I believe killing the Sheriff would not benefit the group as a
whole but only fulfill Robin Hood s revenge. This may possibly lead to more l
lawlessness. Another alternative is to join alliances with the Barons. Keeping the
Idea of the fixed transit tax. He would have to convince his Merrymen, and the
Townspeople that the monies collected could go towards the ransom to free King
Richard. The people do not like Prince John and would easily get behind the idea of
King Richard returning. I believe in order for this plan to work Robin must re
evaluate his Merrymen and re structure his organization as above. In a briefer form,

ATTENTION HYPERACTIVE IMPULSIVE DEFICIT DISORDER
INTRODUCTION Attention Hyperactive impulsive Deficit Disorder, or also
known as ADHD, is under the category of IDEA, which is the Other Health
Impairments. It is considered as one of the most common childhood mental disorder,
affecting more than one in every twenty children (Shaw, 2008). Moreover, this
condition can continue through adolescence and adulthood. IDEA defines it as a
neurobiological based developmental disorder in children and adults with a
persistent pattern of problems in the areas of inattention, hyperactivity and
impulsivity that is more frequent and severe than is typically observed in
individuals at a comparable level of development. DSM IV defined ADHD as same as

Sugars and food additives are believe to worsen the symptoms of ADHD but the
studies found it to be wrong. It is not proven to be a cause of ADHD because based
on the studies conducted, there is no difference in behaviour if the person take
sugar and food additives or not. (NIMH, 2012) ADHD is also associated with other
disorders like learning disabilities, bipolar, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct
disorder and tourette syndrome. Though some persons with ADHD could have co
existed conditions, it is not applicable to all. In addition, there is a big difference
between bipolar and ADHD. ADHD is the difficulty in regulating emotions while
bipolar is a mood disorder wherein over regulation of emotions. On the other hand,
oppositional defiant disorder is also different with ADHD in terms that ODD do
aggressive things purposively but ADHD may do aggressive things out of his
impulsiveness, not intentionally. BODY PHYSICAL DOMAIN `Persons with
ADHD have trouble in getting themselves sit still; they d like to move always to
stimulate themselves. In boys, they have excessive physical movement and for
girls, they are more likely to do excessive talking. Since ADHD is always in motion,
they got more prone to accidents by this (NICE, 2009). According to Dr. Barkley,
ADHD is having these troubles and difficulties because the motor cortex of their

Impact of Celebrity Endorsement on Overall Brand
By Muneeb Ahmed
Synopsis
The general belief among advertisers is that brand communication messages delivered
by celebrities and famous personalities generate a higher appeal, attention and recall
than those executed by non celebrities. The quick message reach and impact are all

Celebrities reflect the modern society, transfer their associated qualities to the brand
and project a living, breathing image to the product as opposed to a faceless entity.
50. This triggers a chain of social influence which allows the consumers to be in accord
instantly with the communicated attitude.
As discussed by Kelman (1961), the basis for the effectiveness of celebrity endorsed
advertising can be linked to this process of identification and internalization of the
desired behaviour. Price of fame may be high for the celebrity endorsed brands but
they have both what the markets and the everyday common man want attention,
power and star sizzle.
In the same breath, the theoretical model hierarchy of effects suggests that for a
purchase to take place, the consumer must be first aware of the product, then
inculcate a liking towards it, and finally develop an intention to acquire it. This
ascension is catalysed by celebrity presence during brand promotion. Be it Rajnikant
making a demographic connection or the new avatar of Amitabh Bachchan forging a
psychological attachment, they carry a mass appeal and establish instant brand
credibility while adopting a subtle persuasive approach. It is presumed that a
personality s dynamic qualities of attractiveness, likeability and appeal are
superimposed on the brand image and lead it to acceptance by their fans and the
general mass.
We can now safely look at the various roles played by the
51. Relationship Between Relationships And Family Structures
Relationships can either be monogamous or non monogamous in nature and its
definitions and functions can vary. A monogamous relationship is traditionally
characterised by two individuals who have dependent children or also as a nuclear
family. Monogamy is a hetero normative practice that involves two individuals in a
relationship; the couple is not engaged in extramarital intimacy. Nuclear families also
fall under this practice. Polyamoryis a non monogamous practice that refers to
multiple intimate partners and experiences. However, some scholars argue that if, or
when one individual engages in infidelity, Polyamory is a viable option to sustain the
relationship. Academic research positions Polyamory as an option that may

underpins marriage in many Western and some non Western countries. Scholars have
continued to argue the success of monogamous relationships. Harville Hendrix (1990)
explains that monogamy is a healing practice. Partners in monogamous relationships
go through many stages and struggles as a committed couple. Through struggle,
partners act as healers that help to work through each other s suffering (Hendrix
1990). Hendrix (1990) believes individuals choose their partners to work through the
pain together and help them grow through life. Monogamous marriage is a spiritual
path to happiness and commitment between two individuals (Hendrix 1990). A
committed relationship requires monogamy, and Hendrix (1990) contends that
healthy and spiritual commitments encourage the sustainability of monogamous
relationships. Although Hendrix (1990) contends that monogamy is an effective
practice, research has largely built a case around the consequences of monogamous
relationships.
Debates have circled around the experiences within nuclear families and
monogamous relationships, and Stelbourn (1999) proclaims it is a largely patriarchal
practice. Stelbourn (1999) uses Engel s work during the eighteenth century, to explain
the still existent contemporary debate around the consequences of monogamy. The
work of Friedrich Engels (Stelbourn 1999) focused on the division between mothers
as housewives, and fathers as workers in nuclear families. Women were reduced in
power and
52. Seamless Editing In The Field Of Film Making
Film editing was the concept related with the process of film making. However as the
developments are taking in the field of technology; hence this concept has changed
towards the use of digital technology. The film editor works with the raw footage,
selects the best shots and then combine them into sequences to create a finished
motion picture.
Film editing is defined an art that can be used in various ways. It can create
sensually provocative montages; help in bringing out the emotional truth in an actor
s performance. Also it can be used for telling of a story and also for creating illusions.

The concept of seamless editing was used because it was one of the first films to use
more than one scene. This was the first narrative film that audiences could see going
somewhere and was very successful amongst different audiences. This film became
so successful because alongside using traditional editing techniques; it included new
techniques such as Parallel Editing, Minor Camera Movement and Crosscutting.
Later editing was also made to add color to the movies through the process of
colorization. Also specific techniques like flashbacks, close up and parallel actions
were given in the movies to arouse specific reaction from the audience (Poland, 2007).
Theories of editing
Soviet montage theory is an approach to understand and create cinema that relies
heavily upon editing. This was based on the concept of montage which was idea that
arises from the collision of independent shots wherein each sequential element is
perceived not next to the other, but on top of the other.
The following montages were used during editing:
Metric where the editing follows a specific number of frames cutting to the next shot
no matter what is happening within the image. This montage is used to elicit
emotional reactions in the

A short, skinny man was running through a moonlit forest, cloak waving in the
wind. In his sweaty hand, he held two knives tightly, holding on to them as if he was
going to die. Following shortly behind were two men, only a few yards away. The
branches of the trees cast their shadows on the ground, giving him slight moments of
cover.
This is where I shall take my last breath, the man thought to himself. As the man
continued to run, his throat dry, and his lungs feeling like they were going to burst,
he decided to lift his cloak to get a view of his throwing knives. The man sighs.
Dang, only four knives left. It s life of death anyway, I have no choice.

calm. He didn t want any unnecessary mistakes. Through the mask he still saw the
bandit smile, he saw it in his green eyes. The enemy commenced closing in, and the
man was now on the ground as he stumbled back when he threw the daggers. The
enemy strokes his dagger with his left hand, as he is holding it with his right. On the
dagger there was an emblem, it looked like a circle with a K. However, the man
needed to stay on task. He thought quickly of a plan, some sort of scapegoat. The
bandit was closing in, and the man s heart began to beat faster and louder. It was all
he could hear. Come on grab your knife! His arms were disobedient. They wouldn t
move. The throwing of the initial knives had taken their toll, and now he is facing the
consequences. The bandit lifts his knife up high, and a spark lights in the mans mind.
Mistake. The man kicks off from the ground sending dirt towards the bandit and
sending the man backwards far enough to escape the bandit. The bandit stumbles
back a little bit dazed. Perfect. At a quick pace the man sprung up with all his
might, his leggings ready to give in and fall. His arms limp at his sides. However,
now was his chance. He pulled his right arm back preparing for a punch, and sends
it right into the bandits face knocking him straight back. The bandit fell with a thud
and a crack. The man held his fist with his left hand as he fell to the ground. There
was an unbelievable amount of pain in his hand, and blood covered his
54. Designing A Product, Brand, And Service Unique
A differentiation strategy is the efforts to make a product, brand, or service unique
as compared to all other competitors, hence providing a competitive advantage
(Pearce Robinson, 2011, p. 219). There are several key skills and resources that
managers should be cognizant of in order to build and base their positive
differentiated strategy. The following essay will expand on these topics which
include skills and resources, as well as, organizational requirements.
To begin with, skills and resources as well as organizational requirements of Apple s
differentiation comes from the organizations core skills which includes the ability to
make easy to use software, integration with other platforms such as iTunes, creative
talent/skilled labor, and a sleek simple design (Pearce Robinson, 2011, p. 220).
Another organization, Nike, has a differentiation strategy that resides in the company
s brand, its long tradition in the industry, its partnership with elite professional
athletes, and a strong coordination of functions in the value chain from R D to
product development to advertising/marketing (Pearce Robinson, 2011, p. 220).
There are a few risks associated with evaluating a differentiation strategy that a
manager should be aware. First, imitation limits apparent differentiation, rendering it
worthless (Pearce Robinson, 2011, p. 221). For instance, when Apple came out with
the tablet there was an extreme differentiation, however, with the imitation
developments
