Genetic engineering involves isolating and moving genes within and between species using recombinant DNA techniques. This involves using restriction enzymes to cut DNA at specific sequences, and DNA ligase to join DNA fragments. Genes can be cloned by inserting DNA fragments into plasmids or viruses, which are then used to transform host cells. The transformed cells are cultured to produce multiple copies of the gene of interest. Genetic engineering has applications in medicine, agriculture, and industry such as producing therapeutic proteins, engineering pest-resistant crops, and creating transgenic organisms.
This document summarizes a talk given by David Weinberger on networked knowledge. It discusses how knowledge is now abundant, messy, and unsettled due to being online and networked. Individual facts can be linked together and knowledge is shared by many. Networked knowledge may not be literally truer but it is truer to the human experience of knowing. The talk suggests knowledge is now inclusive, overwhelming, and linked rather than curated, settled, scarce, and discrete as it was in the past. It acknowledges networked knowledge as an exposure of how human knowing has long operated.
A media questionnaire was conducted to gather feedback on a track. 6 out of 10 respondents said they liked the track. The most popular methods of purchasing the track were iTunes at 7 out of 10 and music stores at 3 out of 10. Most respondents, at 6 out of 10, said they find music on internet sites like YouTube. Regarding purchasing music, 4 out of 10 said every couple days and 5 out of 10 said every day. Most respondents said they pay £3.99 at HMV for their music. The most popular genres identified for the track were RnB at 3 out of 10 and Pop at 4 out of 10. For a music video, 4 out of 10 said to keep any performance element simple while 6
This very short document repeats the phrase "Listen In!" five times, suggesting its main message is to encourage the reader to pay attention or tune in to something. However, without any additional context or details provided, it is difficult to determine what specifically the reader is being asked to listen in to.
The document discusses the representation of social groups in the film "The Catch". It portrays school children, with the protagonist Gemma being a student, and caretakers, with the loner caretaker character seeking comfort in young girls. It represents typical thriller social groups - the male pedophile caretaker and the helpless school girl victim. Paranoia is a theme, with Gemma sensing someone watching her to create tension. Media typically portrays pedophiles negatively as the most hated people to elicit empathy, and moral panics can be inspired by violating standards, like the Ian Huntley case of school girls, similar to the caretaker's sexually motivated killings in a school setting.

The document discusses Holland codes, a system created by psychologist John Holland to classify careers and jobs into six categories based on common personality traits: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Readers are instructed to check activities they find interesting in each category and tally the results to determine their top three Holland codes. This provides insight into careers that typically attract people with similar interests and personalities.
