2. Charles Darwin s Principle Of Natural Selection
Darwin s Theories
Variation
How individuals of the same species vary? This was a key question for Darwin to develop his theory.
He notices this variability of individuals during the Beagle Voyage, yet, he comprehend the
importance of variability and the vital importance for natural selection, by working on crustaceous,
domestic plants and animals.
Darwin argued that, the population of any specie , at a specific time in evolution, includes individuals
of varying characteristics and ensure that, The next generation of that population will contain
characteristics of those individuals that most successfully survive and reproduce under the existing
environmental conditions. However, this characteristics of various types within the species will
change or evolve over the time. This theory is based in 3 principles:
Principle of variation. morphology, physiology, and behavior are features that any individual in any
population will show.
Principle of heredity. Individuals may carry features or characteristics of their antecessors..
Principle of selection. Some individuals are more successful at surviving and reproducing than others
under the existing environment.

3. Analysis Of The Story Folie A Deux By William Trevor
The story Folie a Deux by William Trevor explores the complexities of curiosity and maturation. The
narrator, inspired by literary devices, details an important passage of the story, which portrays
lunchtime conversations between Anthony, his father, and Miss Davally, and follows with the
correspondence between Miss Davally and Wilby s mother where all involve the exchange of
information. The passage is meaningful because it demonstrates an appraisal of information, and its
impact on progress. Ultimately, the story suggests that information is arbitrarily powerful, and that
genuine maturation is only fostered through nurtured curiosity.
The portrayal of lunchtime conversations suggests information is invaluably powerful and depends on
human connections to establish a worldview. While everyone is eating, the narrator describes that
much other information (is) passed on at the lunch table , and details the questioned functionality of
aeroplanes , time , and spiders (132). The narrator s description of how information is situated at the
lunch table implicitly suggests human connections to be an important survival need, like nourishment
or lunch , and infers their interdependency. Through the phrase much other information was passed on
, the narrator conveys the abundantly distinct richness of information, which is inferred by the
connotations much and other . The description that information was passed on at the table signifies the

They even have a professional chef that creates these amazing food and recipes. Each recipe has its
instructions well developed for better quality food. In addition, they have their secret seasoning
recipes which gives food a whole different flavor. However, recipes in Francisco s are not always
followed. To illustrate, they don t measure the condiments while making the food. Because some
recipes come from the owner s traditions, they don t like changing the recipes for a better taste.
Consequently, this causes the prep cook to not follow recipes. One reason customers come back is
because of their original flavor and taste. (STS 2) Cotton Patch Cafe is an american style cuisine.

5. Mapping Protein Proteins Of A Living Cell
Summary: Mapping protein protein interactions occurring in a living cell can provide answers to
plethora of questions in biological research. Split Beta lactamase based protein fragment

Protein fragment Complementation: What s in the name?
Protein fragment Complementation assays (PCAs) have emerged as an exciting option for such
applications and tend to offer complete solution to study protein protein interactions in a high
throughput format. These assays comprise of a protein molecule, which is rationally split into two
fragments that do not interact with each other independently but can refold and reconstitute the
activity of the native protein when brought together by interacting partners fused to them covalently.
The reconstituted activity thus obtained can be used to select for such interacting pairs (Figure 1). To
name a few, PCAs employing proteins like murine Dihydrofolate reductase (mDHFR), TEM 1 Beta
lactamase (TEM 1 Bla), luciferase, Beta galactosidase, GFP, g3p of M13 filamentous phage have been
used successfully for studying protein protein interactions in bacterial hosts.

6. American Rockwell Freedom From Want Analysis
In contrast to the liberation and artistic freedoms of Pollock s revolutionary art, the American
government preferred conservative work of artists like Norman Rockwell. Norman Rockwell s
paintings embodied a traditional, Regionalist style. One of Rockwell s most renowned pieces of work
is the Freedom From Want, representing the traditional and perfected American lifestyle. Painted in
1943, Rockwell depicts an ideal white American family celebrating Thanksgiving dinner. As an artist,
Rockwell specialized in displaying traditional and conservative American values. Through identifiable
shapes and brushstrokes, Rockwell creates a scene with a clear message of American tradition, unlike
Pollock. It stands as a symbol of what the ideal, nuclear American family looks like. Rockwell s
Freedom From Want was inspired by President Franklin Roosevelt s address to Congress in 1941 in
which he listed four American basic human ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Similar to the way in which the Soviet Union standardized language and education, it similarly
standardized art forms and culture. Under Stalin s directive, Socialist Realism was the only aesthetic

landscape through a politically tinted point of view. It was defined as proletarian, art that was relevant
and relatable to workers; typical, scenes of everyday life; realistic in a representational sense; and
partisan, supporting the aims of the State and the communist party. As the Soviet Union restricted its
art and cultural limitations, the CIA noticed a crucial fact about the polarizing Abstract Expressionism

Counselors are very important during this time to help counsel the loved ones of the person that lost
their life in the disaster. Bender (2002) suggest that this leaves the family not able to have a traditional
funeral, especially if the body cannot be found.
When dealing with grief clinicians need to actively listen to their clients, provide empathy and
openness, and make sure the client is in a situation that is nonjudgemental. Clinicians needs to be
trained in these techniques when dealing with disasters that involve death. Clinicians also need to
reassure clients that it is okay to vent the uncomfortable feelings the person maybe feeling.
Another approach that clinicians needs to be trained in is utilizing the community and training them to
help foster comfort to people that are suffering from the disaster. According to Henley, Marshall,
Vetter, (2011) the people in the community (such as teachers, law enforcement etc,) can help people

year old man born with an unusually low level of intelligence. When Charlie was approached by a pair

of sixty eight, after the operation. Throughout the novel Flowers for Algernon, Charlie underwent a
serious transformation from an optimistic but dimwitted thirty two year old man with hope for the
future, to a cynical genius whose world was slowly beginning to fall apart, and then back to a happier
version of his original self. However, it is indisputable that Charlie was the happiest after the
operation, when his I.Q. had sunk back down to a measly sixty eight. His relationships thrived in light
of his recent life events, he was protected by the innocence and childlike naĂŻvetĂŠ of his mental state,
and his learning ethic returned to a need to know basis. Intelligence has always been something of
incredible value, so much so that mentally retarded Charlie Gordon was approached by scientists with
the proposition of artificially increasing his intelligence. However, Daniel Keyes Flowers for Algernon
is the story of the life of Charlie Gordon, and if Charlie s tale is capable of teaching the readers

15. Cause And Effect Of Bullying In School
Dr.Martin Luther King Jr states that In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the
silence of our friends this quote develops the idea that friends standing up and speaking up for the
victim is more valuable than silence in the moment and they re comfort when no one else is present.
Bullying in school affects the students as it may cause distractions or long term problems among
children. Depending on how bystanders respond, they can either contribute to the problem or the
solution when it comes to the initial conflict. Some people genuinely do not know what to do to help,
others fear the bully will seek them out next as a target. To really help in a bullying encounter you
have to know what responsibility you have in the situation. Bystanders may not think they are in the
wrong for leaving the conflict alone but really they are just as much part of the problem as the bully
themselves. The barriers to intervening are both real and powerful for young people. For youths it is a
very real possibility that doing the proper thing for someone else will equate to doing the wrong thing
for their own social status. When bystanders intervene they can stop bullying within 10 seconds over
50% of the time (bscsd.org bystanders). To empower kids to speak up and stand up they must be

walk into the house, there are three windows. There are two windows located at the living room and
these two windows are closeby to the yard, which is great. There is a natural light and it will make the
children be able to view the yard. The other window located at the cooking area, which is also good,
so that children can view the outside environment while they are cooking and eating. The floor is
made of tiles. Tile floors have the advantage of being very easy to appear clean and can be polished

19. Institutional Slavery And The Slave System
Institutional Slavery
Vijay Balusu
0 Period To regulate the relationship between the owner and the slave, and to institutionalize slavery,
the Slave Codes were established. These codes were laws in colonies which defined the rights of the
masters and slaves, along with the legal sanctions over the black population; they generally placed
harsh restrictions on a slave s freedom and gave the owner absolute power over him/her.
Asiento System
The Indians were dying of disease and overwork under the Spanish rule. So they introduced the
Asiento System to make up the labor shortage. Under this system, the Spanish and any other country
could carry African slaves to the Americas but had to pay a tax to the Spanish crown for every slave
imported. It lasted from 1543 to 1834.
Spain
The Spanish had a Slave Code before they acquired colonies in the New World, the same code which
applied to their colonies. Las Siete Partidas was what the slave code was called and it was written in
the 13th Century.
The Spanish Slave Code was special because it acknowledged the fact that slavery was contrary to
natural justice and that it was an evil act. But they thought it was a necessary evil, necessary for the
economic development of the colonies. This caused many problems for the Spanish because the slaves
naturally revolted because it was implied that the natural state of a man was freedom, this reasoning
gave them justification to revolt. The first slave revolt in the Spanish colonies was in 1522

MacNeice in The 20th Century. It was written in four line stanzas and now I am going to analyse this
poem and talk about each stanza.
In the first line of the first stanza, we notice that the child Louis
MacNeice is using specific detail in his poem as he says he was born in Belfast between the mountain
and the gantries. MacNeice was brought up among a lot of divisions and when there was a lot of
trouble going on, he mentions divisions in his second stanza when he says, The
Scotch Quarter was a line of residential houses, but the Irish Quarter was a slum for ... Show more

In the next stanza MacNeice says that the church is to the blame for all the wrongs going on, I assume
he says this because he doesn t like the church but I believe he genuinely doesn t think the church is
too blame. All throughout this poem, MacNeice mentions the
Normans various times; I think that he is emphasizing his knowledge of
Irish history. MacNeice also tells us that his father was a rector and he was banned forever from the
candles of the Irish poor; again he is showing divisions by saying the Irish are poor. In this same
stanza he talks about the Chichesters who are a rich Irish family.
The war then starts and Louis uses sensory images; sight and sound.
The sight images he uses are the horse with long Dummies hanging from gibbets for bayonet practice,
and the sound images he uses is sentry s challenge echoing all day long. These images make the poem
more realistic. He then goes on and states that a Yorkshire terrier ran to the gate lodge, marched at
ease and sang, Who killed Cock Robin ? The troops then went out to the lodge and off to the front, the
information he is giving us here isn t too significant but it does give us an account off some troops at

25. Cranberry Industry Essay
The major trends of the cranberry industry and the problems facing RP#1
There are several major trends that we can observe in the cranberry industry for the period of 1945
1979 (See Table 1 in the Appendix).
First, there is a steady production increase in each of the five year periods: from 615,000 barrels in
1945 1949 to 1,546,120 barrels 30 years later. The production growth was caused by the increasing
mechanisation of cranberry industry. For example, water harvesting could result in a yield up to 20%
higher than that obtained via dry harvesting. Hence, the average barrels per acre grew from 23.7 in
1945 1949 to 73.7 in 1975 1979.
Second, the production growth led to the excess of cranberries produced over those utilized: from 0%

Costs. The additional cost of the current process is $30,000 (investment to convert bins). It is difficult
to calculate the financial benefits from the elimination of queues, though we must not forget that
queues are an issue in the current process during peak days.
Option 2 Add 1 dryer ($40,000)
Benefits. Comparing to the current process this option would: * Improve the flow rate of the system
by 33% (from 857.1 to 1,142.9 bbls/hr) * reduce the total processing time by 25% (from 18.67 to 14
hours) * reduce overtime labour costs by (18.67 14)*4.5*20*20 = $8,406 per 20 days * reduce
overtime hours by 4.67*20*20 = 1,868 worker hours * eliminate queues
Another benefit is that the fewer overtime hours RP1 has, the easier it will be to find enough seasonal
workers. However, the dryers stage is still the bottleneck in the process with a utilisation rate
(16,000/12)*0.7/800 = 116.7%. See Table 6 in the Appendix.
Costs. The additional cost to the current process is (40,000 8,406) = $31,594. That means that during
those 20 days the benefits mentioned above would directly offset $8,406 of $40,000 investments.
Assuming the same level of supply (16,000 bbls/day), the total investment would be returned in
(40,000/8,406)*20=95 days. It is difficult to calculate the financial benefits from the elimination of

26. Animal Experimentation And The Animal Welfare Act
Miriam Rothschild once said, None of my teachers, lecturers, or professors... ever suggested that one
should respect the lives of animals in the laboratory or that they, and not the experiments, however
fascinating and instructive, were worthy of greater consideration (1986, p. 50). 95% of animals used in
experiments are not protected by the federal Animal Welfare Act. This law excludes animals such as
birds, mice, and rats that are bred primarily for research purposes. The Animal Welfare Act regulates
the housing and transportation of animals, but no rule or regulation exists that restricts the actual
research or experimentation of these animals. Animal experimentation has heavily contributed to the
advancement of the medical field, but precautions need to be taken to ensure the safety of these
animals.
The majority of the population is not aware of what actually goes on during animal research and
experimentation. A lot of the times animal experimentation can be painful, brutal and unnecessary.
One example would be at the University of Pittsburgh. In 1984 a small group snuck into the section of
the University where head trauma was being researched. It was no ordinary research, baboons were
the main subjects in many of their studies and experiments. This group was part of the Animal
Liberation Front, or ALF. The Animal Liberation Front is simply the name adopted by people acting

annually on health care, representing over seventeen percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) and
these numbers are growing fast. It is estimated that by the year 2025 health care spending will be
twenty five percent of the US GDP. This spending level is over two and a half times more per capita
than the average of the thirty four countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and

levels of spending, of the countries in the OECD only the United States, Turkey, and Mexico do not

28. Does Nitric Acid Affect The Synthesis Of Nitroacetanilide
In this experiment, nitric acid and sulfuric acid were mixed to form nitronium ions, hydronium ions,
and hydrogen sulfate ions. The amide on the acetanilide is an electron donating group, an activator,
which means that when an activated electrophile is added to the acetanilide, it will add in the ortho,
para positions. In this case, the activated electrophile is the nitronium ions, which react with the
acetanilide and form an arenium ion. Then, the hydrogen sulfate ions pull off the hydrogen that is
attached to the same carbon as the nitronium ion, allowing the lone pair that is now on the carbon the
hydrogen left from to form a double bond with the electron deficient (positively charged) carbon next
to it. The products formed are the ortho and para substitutions of nitroacetanilide. ... Show more

Scottie can t ever love Judy for who she is; he has to turn her into Madeleine to feel anything at all but
I don t think we can ever call that love. Also, Hitchcock manifests love in the acting by showing it in
the beginning, middle, and end of the movie. He shows much Madeline cares about Scottie and vice

his death, he s disabled not only from acrophobia, but also by a crushing sense of guilt. Even if he

believes that he caused the officer s death and the officer was trying to save Scottie s life. Also, I think

Jonas Guran Anel s upbringing was rather different than those of many sleepers. Born to a coven of
voodooists in rural Haiti in 1964, Jonas was never truly asleep, more than he was confused. Jonas had
always been a witness to the esoteric rituals of his ancestors carried out by contemporary African
voodooists. He had seen rather gruesome things such as human and animal sacrifices that made
strange impressions on the physical realm, smudging ceremonies that produced amorphous screams,
and so on. He even recanted seeing someone drop like a sack of rocks at the utterance an incantation.
What d he make of all of this? He wasn t sure, and for twenty years of his life, he truly didn t know.
He had always been led to believe by his coven elders that it was the work of the Ldo, (which are the
ancestral spirits that are worshipped in Haitian voodoo) everything else was reserved to the highest
level of of the tribe before one could hear of it. Should one hear of this sacrosanct information
prematurely, their earlobes would be decapitated and sacrificed to Ldo to prevent any retribution from
making it s way upon the tribe. The tribes believed that such information was granted directly by the
spirits, and if misused or exposed at an inappropriate time, would invoke their wrath upon everyone.

Sexual Orientation Discrimination Everyone agrees that workplace discrimination has no place in the
modern business world. But not everyone understands the laws that protect employees against
discrimination. In this case, what you don t know can hurt you, especially if an aggrieved employee
files a discrimination claim. Definition According to an article published by Workplace Fairness, a non
profit organization that provides information and education on employee rights, sexual orientation
discrimination means treating someone differently solely because of his or her sexual orientation
whether it be homosexual, bisexual, or heterosexual. This discrimination may occur because of a
perception of someone whether the perception is right or wrong. Someone who is discriminated
against on the basis of sexual orientation may also be discriminated against or harassed on the basis of
sex, gender identity, disability, such as actual or perceived HIV status, and/or marital status. This is

36. Human Organs Should Be Banned
Why wait your life in anticipation for a human organ when you could purchase the right match and
start living your life? Day in and day out people around the world pass away before they can even
have the chance to live. Usually the waiting list exceeds the amount of organs available. Nevertheless,
the sales of human organs should be legalized in the hopes that people have a chance to live.
Organ sale for example, allowing or encouraging consenting adults to become living kidney donors in
return for money has been proposed as a possible solution to the seemingly chronic shortage of organs
for transplantation. Many people however regard this idea as abhorrent and argue both that the
practice would be unethical and that it should be banned. This entry outlines some of the different
possible kinds of organ sale, briefly states the case in favor, and then examines the main arguments

The expression organ sale covers a wide range of different practices. People most readily associate it
with the case in which one individual (who needs or wants money) sells his or her kidney to another
(who needs a kidney). But there are other possibilities too. One (in countries where the prior consent
of the deceased is required for cadaveric organ donation) is to pay people living now for rights over

Gross profit margin reflects the amount of revenue from sales that is left for profit and to pay other
expenses after the cost of the goods sold is subtracted. This margin is roughly equivalent to the
markup on a product and reflects the amount over cost the company is able to charge. Firms in retail
can usually increase their gross profit margin if they can differentiate themselves from their
competitors and charge a higher price for roughly equivalent products. Staples has pulled ahead of
Office Depot in recent years, mostly owing to a drop in Office Depot s margin from roughly 30% to
about 24%. This drop is significant because that means less money from sales is flowing through the
company to cover operating and other expenses, and contributed to problems such as those discussed

signifies that Staples likely has less control of its expenses that are incurred in the operating section.
An improvement in controlling these expenses could not only improve the bottom line, but also make
the company s earnings more predictable from year to year. Staples still fares comparatively well here

The Three Levels of Obedience
Julia B. Kulakowski
Montessori Institute of San Diego
The three levels of obedience are explained by Dr. Maria Montessori after long observations of
children of multiple ages in her classroom. She defines the three of obedience as first, an ability to
obey, but not all the time. Secondly an ability to obey at all times after developing their own will.
Finally being able to obey consistently, moreover to follow another person which the child has
deemed superior to them self. Obedience is commonly defined as acting in accordance with the will of
another person. She determined that children have an inherent force within them, termed Horme: a

Further still is the third level of obedience in which the child not only obeys with consistency, but also
finds in another person (typically an adult) superiority and follows, unfaltering, the other persons will.
The child has reached total control over their own will and trusts the adult implicitly. Dr. Montessori
has explained with examples of the Silence Game as a means of measuring this final level obedience.
In her explanation she explores how not only do the children obey the signal given for the game
(writing Silence on the blackboard), but know before the teacher has even completed writing the S
what is coming and immediately go silent. It only takes one child s first movement to stop what they
are doing and the rest of the class almost instantaneously quiets. She also explains how it involves the
cooperation of the entire group. Without collectively becoming silent the game is not won. This
development takes practice on the part of the child and discipline in restraining oneself on the part of
the Guide. The trust created during this development creates a different form of responsibility. In this
level of obedience the responsibility of the Guide is exponentially increased as her first movement is
not only witnessed, but implicitly obeyed. This responsibility must be felt and respected by the Guide.
For (Montessori, 1995) she must be cautious not to exploit for her own ends so selfless a dedication
