3. Taxi Driver Quotes
Travis Bickle is a veteran of the Vietnam War and now works as a taxi driver in New
York. All through the night, he goes on working alone in a metropolitan city, because
he can t sleep at night.
Travis lives alone, without his family, any friend and lover, so he doesn t talk to
anybody, but he spent watching porn and thinking about himself. He seems to be
alienated from others and the society, at the same time he has already noticed his
lonely situation. In Taxi Driver, Travis feels loneliness which ruins him gradually and
finally makes him almost kill himself.
In the early 1970s, a scriptwriter, Paul Schrader wrote the script of Taxi Driver, a
story of a lonely man. In 1946, Schrader was born in a strict Calvinist family in

Although there was some exclusion incidents like political assassinations in the
1960s, establish people especially white men lost their self confidence gradually.
Their identity was obscured by rights recoveries of women and African American
people, and white men started to be troubled with their unstable identity problem.
They missed themselves in the United States society in the 1970s and needed to
solidify their identity again.
Then Travis Bickle is also troubled with his unstable identity, because of being a
white man and a veteran of the Vietnam War.
However, in the early 1970s, young white men like Travis could not be like their
fathers anymore. Compared with after the World War 2, soldiers and veterans of the
Vietnam War also could not be glorious hero after Fall of Saigon. In 1976, the
United States society has changed from past.
Travis, a veteran of the Vietnam War, already becomes an outsider in the United
States, so he can t help feeling that he is not acknowledged in the
4. The Principles Qualities Of A Good Teacher
In contrast, the type of inquire based approach that is taught in some of the SKE
lessons at University of Sussex allows the student to understand why a method
works and encourage a comprehension of the mechanics behind the steps taken to
solve a problem. Personally, I have noticed that as I gain confidence in my
mathematical ability, these sessions become more enjoyable. Still, to achieve
confidence and be able to follow these lessons, I need to familiarize myself with a
method beforehand. For me this is most effectively achieved by solving series of
example problems by a given sequence of steps before embarking on a journey of
understanding the reasoning behind each step. These inquiry based lessons,
therefore, are most valuable when preceded by lessons with more direct instructions
and teacher led demonstrations. Thus, this supports my vision that since all students
have their own preferred method for learning, even if they are not aware of it, the
ability to explain a topic in a number of different ways is one of the principle
qualities of a good teacher.
Interestingly, as part of the SKE course I was given the opportunity to spend some
time in a college, observing and assisting in lessons to students that needed to retake
their GSCE exams. The main method of teaching in these classes was purely
instrumental, with the goal to equip the students with the knowledge to pass their
GSCE exams but without any deeper understanding of the methods. No emphasis was
put on
5. The Reasons that Led to the Attack on the World Trade
Center
I was only 6 years old at the time when the 9/11 happened, and I didn t find out until
a few weeks later when my parents showed me the video. I have never seen
anything like that but in movies, so the first thought that came up in my mind when
I saw the video was what movie is that. My parents tried to explain what was
happening, but at the time, I couldn t process what had happened or really
understand what they explained. 12 years later I m 18 now, during that period of time
I immigrated to the United States, in school on the extended date of September 11
we always have the moment of silence, and I didn t understand why we do the
moment of silence, so I did some research about 9/11. Now I clearly understand
that the United States encounter the largest terrorist attack in history, and the
reason why the United States is involved in war with Afghanistan. United States
involvements in Afghanistan is one of the longest wars in our history. Rajiv
Chandrasekaran editor of the Washington post, describes the involvement as we ve
asked them to do a lot more, in a smaller serving force, in some of the longest wars
in our history (2014. Para. 14). U.S. involvement in Afghanistan has been going on
for many years, and for the first time ever, our involvement was a mistake. The main
reason why U.S. is involved in Afghanistan it s for the attack on 9/11. As the Unite
Nations charter s collective security frame work in the 21st century describes, In

6. How Does The Proton Determine The Number Of Protons
The atom is a unit of matter, the smallest unit of an element, consisting of a dense,
central, positively charged nucleus surrounded by a system of electrons, equal in
number to the number of nuclear protons. It consists of a core nucleus surrounded by
negatively charged electrons. Inside the atom nucleus contains a mixture of positively
charged protons, and electrically neutral neutrons. All electrons bind to the nucleus
through an electromagnetic force. A ground of electrons bound together form
individual molecules. An atomwith an equal number of protons and electrons will
hold a neutral charge. An ionhas either a positive or negative charge because of a lack
of electrons or an electronexcess. The number of protons determines the... Show more

Ions are atoms with either a positive or negative charge. When atoms are neutral,
the number of protons and electrons are equal. In an ion, the protons and electrons
are not equal. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge.
So, if the protons and electrons in an atom are not equal, then the atom will have
either an overall positive or negative charge. An isotope is a form of a chemical
element where the atomic nucleus contains an exact number of neutrons. Also, the
number of protons define the element. The nuclei of most atoms contain neutrons
and protons. Each chemical element has more than one isotope. One of the
isotopes is abundantly in nature where as any of the others are not. The isotope of
an element is defined by the nucleon number. That number is the sum of the
number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The nucleon number is written as a
superscript preceding the chemical symbol for that element. So, an ion may
consist of a single atom and is called an atomic or monatomic ion. It can consist of
a lot of atoms that is molecular or polyatomic ion. Ions are normally found in
nature. Ions can be a solid, a liquid, or a gas. Lightening would be an example of
having ions in the gas

Uhtred, is a warrior. He was born a Viking but adopted into an Anglo Saxon clan and
as his story unfolds in a series of conflicts with his own clan, the church and outsiders,
his background differences from Anglo Saxons highlight many features of this time
period. The author is careful to be historically accurate in many details, including the
civil and militarypower of kings, how military authority and tactics are carried out,
and the armor and weapons used by knights. Kings in England had both civil and
military power during this time period. In the novel, King Alfred was the leader...

In the novel when Uhtred is fighting against Steapa one on one Uhtred is wearing
light armor made of skins while steapa is wearing a heavy chainmail suit and a
large helmet to go along with his massive sword(Cornwell). In Medieval Weapons
and Warfare by Paul Hilliam he talks about the armor of most knight s Chain mail
was worn as the main form of protective armor (16). This concludes that a majority
of knights during the 9th century wore chain mail for armor, but also they both show
that there were some people who didn t use chain mail armor because Uhtred didn t

9. Hybrid Vehicle
Abstract: As gas prices raise the average automobile consumer demands a better,
more fuel efficient vehicle. This demand has forced manufacturers to begin
producing hybrid vehicle; first four door hybrid sedan was unveiled by Toyota in
2000. The Toyota Prius success encouraged it competitors to roll out their hybrid cars
as well setting a common standard for environmentally friendly and efficient vehicles.
The relationship of consumer and manufacturer in the car industry on a macro level
has always been one in relative equilibrium. As demand increases the car
manufacturers have increased supply. The green movement in the United States
pushed for hybrid vehicles and car manufacturers responded by producing more

This can be seen by the younger age group that has recently begun purchasing
hybrid vehicles. Sales in 2005 of hybrid vehicles only 12.34% were purchased by
individuals ages 30 39 and only 9.61% were purchased by individuals ages 20 29;
in 2011 12.68% were ages 30 39 and 17.84% were ages 20 29. (Priuschat.com) The
increasing attention the younger population places on environmentally friendly
and less gas consuming vehicles the more likely corporations are going to spend
time and energy devoted towards its research and development. Hybrid cars in
themselves have become more and more fuel efficient from a Prius bought in 2005
which provided an EPA estimated 37.2 miles per gallon is in 2011 providing 42.7
miles per gallon. With media attention car manufacturers are increasing what the
vehicle can do and making them more and more efficient. A major factor for
individuals who are seeking to purchase a new vehicle is the cost of gasoline which
has risen almost 32% since January 2011. The chart below indicates the trend of
increasing gas prices. As prices increase demand inherently falls creating room for
alternative products to step in. 16% of Prius buyers stated that the primary reason for
buying the Prius was to save money on gas. (inflationdata.com). The fact that a
meaningful number of people can reasonably expect for their hybrid purchase to save
them money is perhaps the most important indicator for future hybrid
10. Faith And Reason Are Not Always Compatible
Faith and reason are not always compatible. Reason is based on evidence . Faith, on
the other hand, does not require any substantial evidence. To some people faith and
reason can exist without contradicting each other, whereas others claim that faith and
reason have to be conflicting.
Religious faith can be classified into two groups: evidence sensitive and evidence
insensitive. The first one demands involvement of demonstratable truths. Whereas the
second group is firmly focused on the will of the religious leaders. Thus, in this case,
evidence sensitive faith is in alliance with reasoning. But the latter group totally
contradicts with reasoning.
An example of the contradiction between faith and reason would be the topic of
homosexuality. In most religions, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The pious ones believe that girls do not need to avail education. Also, girls only get
one third of the inherited property. But when logically thought of, women should
have exactly equal rights as men. Women should not be underestimated and
neglected. Girls should have as much right as boys to get educated and to build a
career. Everything should be shared in equal proportions between men and women.
Thus, once again, faith and reason collides.
But in some incidents, faith and reason walk the same path. For instance, in Islam,
drinking is strictly prohibited. This, in accordance with reasoning, makes sense.
Drinking heavily leads to damage of livers and kidneys. So, the validity of this rule
is scientifically proven. So,even though in most cases there is a conflict between faith
and reason, that is, however, not the case in all situations.
Not only can faith and reason never be at variance with one another, but they also
bring mutual help to each other, since right reasoning demonstrates the basis of faith
and, illumined by its light, perfects the knowledge of divine things, while faith frees
and protects reason from errors and provides it with manifold
11. Teachers Do Not Focus On Phonics
Introduction
There are a lot of misconceptions and misinformation out there concerning how
educators can teach reading, spelling and writing in school classrooms today. A
common misconception is that teachers do not focus on phonics anymore or that
starting teachers do not have any understanding of how to teach phonics. So, what
exactly is phonics in education? And, how can educators teach phonics and the
appropriate way to interpret or comprehend the written codes found in different
words? This essay develops a better understanding of phonics and the various teaching
approaches that teachers can use to teach phonics effectively toward enhancing
engagement and motivation of student learning.
Phonics focuses on the sound letter relationships used in reading and writing, and
involves an understanding of the alphabetic principle the idea that spoken language is
made up of sounds and these sounds can be mapped to written letters (Hill, 2015, p.
241). Phonics entails phonemic awareness or alphabet knowledge that is, converting
various sounds in spoken dialect and representing them in the written language. For
children to learn to read and spell using phonics, they must understand the
relationship between sounds (phonemes) and letters or letter combinations
(graphemes) and then remember the specific letter sequences and patterns used in
different speech sounds. Phonics instruction thus focuses on developing the
relationship between spoken language and written dialect. The

13. Emollient Agents Make Our Skin Smoother Essay
Emollients
Emollients are agents that soften and make the skin smoother. They are also called
moisturizers. Emollients are used for dry skin or eczema. When a moisturizer is
applied to skin, it covers the skin with a protective layer that reduces the amount of
water loss in the skin and prevents dryness. Emollients also prevent the skin form
itching and eczema from flaring up.
Are emollients, emulsifiers, and lotions polar or non polar?
Most lotions contain oil or other non polar ingredients. They also contain large
quantities of water which is polar. The oil in the lotion is emulsified so it can be
mixed with the water. But, both ingredients still remain in the lotion which makes it
both polar and non polar. Emulsifiers are used to make ... Show more content on

Many people buy lotions thinking that it has special ingredients that will help
moisturize their skin, but in fact water is the widely held ingredient in hand lotions.
Oil: oil is another important ingredient in hand lotions. Some lotions use liquid oils
and others use solid oils or butters. Avocado, coconut, Shea, and olive oils are some
of the most popular oils used in lotions.
Glycerin: it is also known as a humectant. It attracts moisture from the air to the skin
and it is also used as a lubricant to make the lotion smooth.
Citric acid: this is used as a preservative to prevent the other ingredients from
spoiling. Citric acid also helps lower the PH of the lotion and it makes it more
suitable for the different skin types.
Other ingredients that are used are scents, color, etc.
How do hand lotions work?
When hand lotion is applied, it creates a barrier on the skin that prevents the oils
from escaping and does not allow any harmful substance to enter the skin that can
cause dryness or irritation. It also blocks water from leaving the skin and attracts
water, this helps to maintain moisture in the skin.
The purpose of hand lotions
There are hand creams designed for different purposes. Most people use hand lotions
for dry skin, usually in the winter time. Lotions soften the hand and it looks more
visually appealing. Some people use lotions because they have eczema, and lotion
prevents it from flaring up. Others may use

LEARNING THEORIES AND TEACHING
INTRODUCTION learning is commonly defined as a process that brings together
cognitive, emotional, and environmental influences and experiences for acquiring ,
enhancing, or making changes in one s knowledge, skills, values and world views (
llleris,2000; Ormord,1995). This process could be explained through several theories,
some of which include ; behavioral, cognitive, constructivist, and social cognitive
learning theories. Presently teachers make use of these theories in their classrooms in
order to maximize the learning potential of students and also to create a better
learning environment inside the classrooms. This report includes a summary of these
different learning theories used in ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In this way the student could overcome the fear and insecurity and could gain
confidence, since he/she would have realized what to expect. Coming to
constructivism, it describes learning process as a process which involves learners
constructing knowledge from their own experiences. According to this theory, new
concepts and ideas are actively constructed by learner, based on their past and
present experiences or knowledge. In applying this theory to a classroom, the teacher
acts as a guide or facilitator, helping students along the way as they try to figure out
things on their own. For example, teacher could ask students questions like, what is
your opinion about this? , what do you think is the answer for this question? , etc..
METHOD
PROCEDURE
In order to determine the level of application of these theories in Maldivian
classrooms by teachers, a survey was conducted, by giving questionnaires to fill in to

The time of the Cuban Revolution was a great deal of turmoil, not just in Cuba but
in almost every corner of the world. It was 1945, shortly after the end of World War
Two, and the Cold War was taking off between the United States and the Soviet
Union. Cuba, in the middle of its own war, was caught up in the international politics
of the Cold War. The interaction between international and domestic politics played a
major role in the outcome of the revolution. The result of the revolution left Fidel

Their focus was national sovereignty, reform, economic growth, a redistribution of
wealth, and social justice(the cuban revolution p 62). Finally, in 1965, Cuba
officially became communist with the emergence of the Cuban Communist Party,
with Fidel Castro as their leader. Castro s involvement with the foreign and
domestic politics during the early Cold War period greatly influenced the outcome
of the Cuban Revolution. Without the actions taken by foreign powers like the
United States and Russia, some events on the domestic front may have had very
different results. It is important to understand how every nation s foreign policies
can influence more than just one other nation, and this was especially true for
Cuba. It was this mix and chain of events which produced the communist Cuba that
we are familiar with today. The most popular of Fidel Castro s documents is La
Historia Me Absolvera also known as History Will Absolve Me. This was a speech
given by Castro at his trial for leading an attack on the Moncada Barracks. Castro s
speech discussed many of his ideas and beliefs that justified his reasoning to form his
revolutionary movement against Fulgencio Batista. History Will Absolve Me, shows
the revolutionary ideologies of Castro and how he later revolts to power. Although,
his speech was about his thought on the revolutionary movement, it also was to show
the foundation of his Moncada attack and what he was trying to achieve. Castro

women were supposed to do. However, Edna felt the exact opposite way and she
even states this by saying, I would sacrifice my life, but not myself for my children.
Edna was just tired of being her husbands possession and keeping up with the
social conventions at the time. As a result, she searched internally within herself to
escape the cage she was living in. Through the process of self realization Edna
decides to move into her own pigeon house. She leaves her kids and husband to
live on her own in order to not be anybody s possession, but just her self. The
pigeon house allows her to dare and defy social constraints without loosing her
social respectability. Edna followed her heart rather than reason, which is one of
the themes of the novel. Still Edna felt caged and the only place that had no
boundaries or restrictions was the sea. Rather a selfish way to escape, it was the
only thing left for her to do, so she commits suicide. This is quite the contrary from

Nutrient timing is an important aspect for the proper growth and help of the human
body. Over the years, the idea of nutrient timing has added a significant impact to the
health of the body, especially exercise training. Think of it this way: before nutrient
timing there was what you ate and what you did (exercise). Adding nutrient timing
adds in the aspect of time. Similar to the third wall in film, nutritiontiming adds a new
dimension. Much focus has been put on simply what to eat, but now another
emphasis should be put on when to eat. The idea of nutrient timing is to help benefit

It is stated by McInerney McInerney that Overemphasis on one type of developmental
readiness such as reading readiness, for example may preclude learners from
demonstrating that they are more capable in other areas of performance (McInerney,
D.M McInerney, V. 2002) Therefore the same theory would apply to a student having
physical developmental readiness. Through physical activity students grow their
motor skills and enables them to utilise them in learning environments such as the
class room. In kindergarten students the motor skills would be a lot less developed
that that if a year 6 student, so when planning a physical activity this needs to be
taken into account. The benefits of implementing physical activity into the
curriculum of students are not only a valuable asset to the students health and well
being, but also to their learning development. Physical activity promotes healthy

President John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act (EPA) into law on June 10,
1963. The act aimed towards stopping wage inequality through not only races but
also genders within the United States. The income difference between a male and
a female was substantial. The Equal Pay Act was not the first act to attempt to be
passed. In 1942, twenty years earlier Congresswoman Winifred C. Stanley
introduced the Prohibiting Discrimination in Pay on Account of Sex Act. This act
was not passed. The equal pay for equal work is an idea that people that do the
same work, as others will be compensated in the same way. The act was established
because women were receiving less pay than men were for the same exact job. After

The EPA equal pay for equal work is not one hundred percent effective in 2004. In
2004 the pay for women matching the pay for men was not equal with only eighty
percent of all women matching the pay for man. That was an increase taken from
a survey in 1979 where it was a mere sixty two percent. The Fair Labor Standards
Act contributes to the Equal Pay Act in that it was signed to establish minimum
wage, overtime pay and it affected both part time and full time workers. Today
women are still not payed for their hard work and if you are a woman of color then
your pay is even less. As per bat women on TV, same job, same employer, means

21. Imagination In Dante Alighieri s The Inferno Analysis
When you think of Hell, what do you see, perhaps a burning pit full of criminals
and crazed souls? Or maybe you re like Dante and have a well organized system of
levels in correspondence with each person s sins. In Dante Alighieri s epic The
Inferno, Dante and his real life hero, Virgil, go on an adventure through a rather
elaborate version of Hell. In this version of Hell numerous thoughts and ideals are
brought to the attention of the readers. Through Dante s use of both imaginative and
artistic concepts one can receive a great visual impression of how Dante truly views
Hell, and by analyzing his religious and philosophical concepts the reader can
connect with the work to better understand how rewarding this work was for the time
period.
Imagination is defined as, the act or power of forming a mental image of something
not present to the senses or never before wholly perceived by reality (Merriam
Webster). In The InfernoHell is just that, a creation of Dante s imagination. By
reading the epic a mental image of Hell is formed, but it can be viewed in various
ways due to Hell never being wholly perceived by reality. The whole novel is never
seen as less than real, but many of the events that occur are not life like. Having
suicidal souls trapped in trees with Harpies eating them until they bleed is far from
reality (Alighieri, 101). With an example of Dante s imagination comes the concepts

22. Summary Of Prayer At Valley Forge
The painting by Arnold Friberg Prayer at Valley Forge, shows George Washington
praying for his troops during the harsh winter but does not fully allow the viewer to
understand the conditions of soldiers during their stay at Valley Forge. Valley Forge
is one of the most famous times during the American Revolution even though it was
not a battle. At this point in the war the Americans were losing the Revolution and
many soldiers were sick and dying while the others were deserting. If I would have
been at Valley ForgeI would have deserted, and I think given these conditions many
people would choose desertion over re enlistment. Desertion will be high in the
military if three conditions are met: lack of adequate shelter, lack of a proper
supplies and lack of belief in the cause. Adequate shelter for soldiers will increase
the willingness to stay in the army and not desert. Living in Valley Forge during
the winter of 1778 meant living in huts. These huts were a rudimentary log cabin
with a stick and clay fireplace, no windows and held 12 men (BACKGROUND
ESSAY). Besides being cold the lack of windows caused the huts to become filled
with smoke. So now the soldiers had to decide if they were going to keep a fire going
with the door closed causing them to choke on the smoke, not have a fire inside,
or to open the door and let the cold in. None of these choices were great. In the diary
of Dr. Waldo he described the soldiers housing as hard lodging and that he was smoak

23. Description Of Nicaragu The Spanish Word For Water
Description of Nicaragua
The name Nicaragua comes from a combination of two words, nicarao and agua .
The Nicarao are the Indian tribe that were occupying the shores of Lake Nicaragua
when the Spaniards arrived in the 1500 s. Agua is the Spanish word for water.
The Nicarao tribe originally immigrated to Nicaragua from Mexico, after the fall of
the Aztec empire. According to legend, the Nicarao were directed to travel south
until they found an island with two volcanoes in the middle of a lake. An interesting
Nicaragua fact is that the Nicarao tribe found Ometepe Island with two volcanoes in
the middle of Lake Nicaragua, realized they had found the promised land, and then
setttled on the shores of Lake Nicaragua.
Geography
The Republic of Nicaragua is bound on the north by Honduras, on the south by
Costa Rica, on the east by the Caribbean Sea and on the west by the Pacific Ocean.
Nicaragua is a tropical country located between 11 and 17 north latitude.
Nicaragua, about the size of Iowa, is the largest country in Central America and
covers an area of 130,000 Sq. Km. Nicaragua has the largest area of arable land in
all of Central America, with 12.1 million acres, of which 8.9 million area ideal for
agriculture and 3.2 million for cattle ranching. Lago de Nicaragua (Lake Nicaragua),
a large freshwater lake, borders the Pacific Ocean, Low Mountains and hills, covered

Just because of a medical malpractice, what could have been a grand moment in
your life could turn into a total disaster for you. A problem with a newborn arising
from gross negligence on the part of the health care provider could be classified
under medical malpractice. The right recourse is necessary to be taken by those
affected by such malpractice issues, and getting a Chicago birth injury lawyer may
get you through this painful litigation process. Just like in any other lawsuit, it is
important to get the right counsel to face these legal procedures.
The Chicago medical malpractice lawyer is more than adept in handling the different
issues on negligence in the proper legal route. On top of this, it would serve you
well if you would have ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The normal route is for investigative people under the supervision of the lawyer to
take the cudgels of this task. It would be the responsibility of the aggrieved party to
collect all medical and financial documents and all pertinent personal information to
the accused. A separate medical examination, and in certain instances an MRI, is
done on the child. This would be the supporting items to prove there was injury
caused to the child at the time of birth.
The deposition comes next, or the evaluation of the collected evidence which is
treated individually for their separate merits. Part of the process in this case includes
the examination and cross examination of the Chicago birth injury lawyer and his
counterpart. This process would include the testimonies of the physicians, nurses,
technicians and all others involved in the delivery of the baby.
The negotiation phase would follow, and in most cases, the Chicago medical
malpractice lawyer would be in a good position to conduct negotiations after all the
evidence has been collected and collated. It would be the job of the lawyer to Assess
the extent and seriousness of the injury, considering the economic and other losses,
actual and potential, and conferring the matter with the insurance company. The trial
phase would ensue should the negotiation stage

In the summer of 2016 my family and I took a 2 week vacation to a couple
different locations we all wanted to visit. We decided to drive to our first
destination, which was a 13 hour drive! On the way to our first destination, we
stopped in Athens, Alabama to stay the night and aquire some grub. We were able to
eat some dinner while we were at the hotel and we ordered the most incomparable
pizzaever! The pizza place s name was Joe s Pizza The owner s name is Joe and has
multiple Guinness World Records for his pizza making skills. All the pizzas are
hand made and put into a brick pizza oven to accommodate just the right doneness
and taste. Then after that mouthwatering night in Athens, Alabama we decided to
drive on and continue to our first vacation destination. After a couple restroom
breaks and some lunch we finally arrived at Splash Resort in Panama City, Florida!
The ocean was breathtaking and as magnificent as ever it was one of those how can
anything be so beautiful kind of things. It just made me speechless, the water was
perfect, the air was warm, and I just wanted to jump right in and start swimming in
the water. While in Panama City we did a couple different activities. Some of which
included, obviously going to the beach for a couple of days.
The we went to the Ripley s Believe it or Not Museum. (As a matter of fact I really
enjoy their book they put out every year!) Which was quite interesting if I do say

Dear Mr. /Ms. Whoever this is going to on the other side, The Weimar Republic all
though unstable at points was a system that many citizens of Germany supported.
The Weimar Republic was a situation that was not at all like the provisional
government that was seen in Russia who could not withstand any riots in the July
Days or even the October Revolution in 1917. However, the Weimar Republiccould
withstand the putsches with the help of their military the freikorps. During the

Weimar Republic was overthrown and they were taking over. After occupying Berlin,

Where they sent the freikorps to end this communist rebellion. Finally, they were
successful once again which allowed the people to have their democracy which
was one of the most democratic in all of Europe. Where people had more civil
liberties then the United States as women could vote before U.S. women could.
Also, by putting down the rebellions constantly in the first few years and not
crumbling to pieces like in Russia, it shows that the Weimar Republic wasn t going
anywhere. Moreover, that the Republic could survive even in a state of crisis with the
over looming threat of right wing terrorism and left wing rebellions. That the republic
could stand on its feet and this only increased with the introduction of Stresemann
and renewing the mark. So finally, Germany under the most democratic system in
existence at the time could do perfectly well even through their times of difficulty
because every new government has its bumps like with the provisional government
where they couldn t get anything done pushing off a constitution constantly. Instead,
the government in Germany succeeded in putting down the threats, and slowly
gaining more power and actively pushing against the threats coming at them creating
a perfectly workable system which all though isn t perfect is able to succeed in the

the commuter trains in their everyday live. It also created a change in the industry,

help add intelligence to the transportation system. The advancement will help
decrease carbon dioxide emissions, traffic delays, and the cost. This will also make
commuting and travel more efficient. The cost will be lower due to not building
railroad tracks. The traffic will decrease due to the various sensors to guide the trains
on the road. It will make commuting and travel more efficient because the units can
detach and going different directions. Another resource scientist might use is
magnetic levitation(maglev). To create a maglev at high speeds of travel, the train
needs to run off of electro magnetism. Also the train need a strong enough force and

Wifi...
MEASUREMENT SCENARIO We set up a testbed to assess the proposed
calculations. Two entrance systems, WiFi and Ethernet are joined with the VAN
server, and the VAN server additionally functions as the door to people in general
Internet. The WiFi connection is constrained to 2 Mbps, the Ethernet join for
imitating the Cellular connection is restricted to 4 Mbps to consider asset limits, for
example, foundation traffic, for instance. The high edge β is situated to 50 s and
the discriminating limit off is situated to 20 s. We arbitrarily select 10 distinctive
YouTube features with differing bit rates, each with a greatest determination of 1080p
and least length of 20 minutes. A complete assessment run comprises of 10 runs every
feature and determination, each with a length of time of 1000 s. Amid the runs, the
accompanying parameters are measured: the cradled recess in seconds, the player
state, which is either slowing down or playing, the current throughput, and the
utilization proportion of WiFi and cell correspondences in connection to the current
throughput. The application particular parameters, including supported recess and
player state, are measured at the customer, while the system parameters, for example,
throughput and utilization proportion, are measured at the VAN server. To measure
the advantage of the calculations, we consider the accompanying execution
measurements: Nature of Experience (QoE): QoE shows how fulfilled a client is

I grew up on a street called Autumn Place, this was a great place to grow up, as it
was a very quiet neighborhood, with a park just down the street. I lived there for
ten years, until my family was lucky enough to be able to buy there own house,
located on a street called Feeney Place, which was also in a quiet neighborhood,
just no park this time. I have always lived with my mom, dad, and brother, and
each one of them helps me in specific areas that the other person can t, like my
mom helps me get over an emotional problem, my dad helps me with physical
problems, and my brother helps me with academic problems, this is a great living
situation for me. My familyhas always been there for me, probably because I am the
youngest sibling, my brother is older than me, but we have a good relationship, a
mix of rivalry and friendship, which I think is the best kind of relationship to have
with a brother. Both my brother and my dad are big influences, my dad motivates
me to never give up and to always have a good attitude, and my brother motivates
me to do well in school. I have had a life full of experiences, but only three of them

The port city of Caesarea Maritima and the harbor were built by Herod the Great
between 25 and 13 BCE. This new city was built upon an already existing city
named Strato s Tower. Caesarea was the largest of King Herod s building ventures
and was named in honor of his patron, Caesar Augustus. The harbor itself was named
Sebastos. Herod had hoped the city would became a center for trade in the Judea
province. The new city had many public structures including a vast harbor. Some of
these structures included temples to Caesar and Roma, an aqueduct, an amphitheater
and forum. Herod paid homage to not only Rome but to his Jewish heritage by being
able to merge both cultures in this one city. The ancient city sits between the current

There was also a shortage of drinking water for the people of the city. Despite these
issues, the builders were able to swiftly complete this massive project and the
harbor was created. Josephus gives us a detailed description of Caesarea calling
the harbor the most impressive architectural feature of Caesarea. He tells us of the
lack of topographical features available to the builders such as a cape or bay. The
builders were able to carve the new facility out of the coast line without these
features that had been a prerequisite up until this point. Several other problems
occurred during the building including heavy storms and the constant erosion of the
coastline. The outer harbor area had a circular shape created by two breakwaters
extending out from the shore that ran north and south. These breakwaters are
structures built into the water to help protect the harbor from the force of waves.
The south breakwater ran west but curved north at the seaward end. The north
breakwater was smaller and extended straight out west and stopped around 30
meters before the end of the south breakwater, causing the entrance of the harbor to
be on the north side. The large arms were built by large stones. At the entrance to the
harbor stood on both sides three colossi. There were three large statues on the east
that stood on a tower. The ones on the west side were supported by two upright stones.
32. Love And Happiness In The Great Gatsby
Love and tragedy has been a tale as old as time and is definitely not going
anywhere. No matter what year it is, people are always searching for happiness and
sometimes go about their motives the wrong way and ends up in a disastrous fate. In
Fitzgerald s The Great Gatsby it is apparent that the goal was money and fame with
loose morals. Wharton s Ethan Fromewas before World War 1 and when America
was still kept to the classic standards of house, family, and farm. Both main
characters lived in completely different worlds, but the end goal was the same; love
and happiness.The novels tell its readers that people are willing to push their limits
and morals to achieve their idea of perfect love and perfect happiness without
thinking of what the consequences may be.
Jay Gatsby had money, a mansion on West Egg, and the whole city talking about
him. However the only thing that could satisfy him was his love, Daisy. She was
married to the wealthy Tom Buchanan. Tom tried to gain his happiness with his
mistress Myrtle, whom he regularly visited. Of course in The Roaring 20 s
multiple people who had fame and money would look for something more to fulfill
their lives. Jay Gatsby was one who had ambitions and dreams of a lavish
lifestyle.He got cash quick in unlawful ways. Once he did so, he did everything he
could to impress Daisy and prove his love to her. Gatsby bought that house so that
Daisy would be just across the bay. (The Great Gatsby p.63). He threw large parties

place.
There are three main drugs used in date rape, which include Rohypnol, Gamma
Hydroxybutyerate, and Ketamine. Rohypnol is a sedative with ten times the
potency of Valium. They come in pill form, which is white and round. Anybody
could buy this drug on the street for fewer than five dollars. The effects of this
drug include drowsiness, dizziness, slurred speech, amnesia, muscle relaxation,
loss of control, and gastrointestinal disturbances that can last up to twelve or more
hours. Street names for this drug include Roofies, which is most commonly used,
Rib, Roach 2, Roopies, Rope, R 2, Circles, La Roche, or Mexican Valium. This
drug leaves the body without a trace after so many hours after ingesting it. Another
drug used for date rape is Gamma Hydroxybutyerate. This drug is a central nervous
depressant that is a clear liquid with a metallic smell. It can also come in a white
powder. This drug can be sold for five dollars just for one capful. The effects of this
drug has many of the same effects as alcohol such as nausea, headache, vomiting,
drowsiness, slurred speech, dizziness, reduced breathing and heart rate, and

Racing is not just Driving
Driving in circles is often one of the first things that comes to mind when someone
hears race car driver. However, driving in circles is nowhere near a complete
explanation of what a race car driver can do. Most people know race car drivers drive
with the purpose of going fast. That their goal when driving a race car is to get from
point A to point B as fast as possible. What they don t understand is why they drive
endless loops of a racing circuit to improve previous lap times by milliseconds. Or
how they became the drivers they became, and the difficulty behind becoming a
race car driver. This passion for racing is something that few understand, and race
car drivers have difficulty explaining to others. It s almost as if they are looking
into a different boxcar than most people. Often when people think of a race car
driver, they think, Can t anyone drive a car? or Oh driving in circles like NASCAR?
That must be easy. These answers couldn t be farther from the reality, and it s
astonishing how unknown the world of auto racing is to many people. Racing is not
just driving per se. Racing is the art of driving fast with a bunch of other like
minded idiots, who all risk their lives for no other reason other than to beat the next
guy. Racing is entirely different from driving on the street in a countless number of
ways.

Research Article Analysis In today s society there is an enormous amount of
research being conducted throughout the world. A great many of those studies are
occurring on Universities and campuses, in this paper, analysis of one such study
will be reviewed. The article is an evaluation of a Juvenile Drug CourtProgram in
Lexington, Kentucky. The data that is coming from the Bureau of Justice suggests
that juvenile courts process a higher volume of cases today than at any time in the
past (Hayden, 2012) These statisticsrepresent the trend in persistently high rates in
use of illegal substances among adolescents in the United States and subsequent
juvenile court involvement. [The purpose of this study was to examine these
outcomes in criminal offending and substance use for one of the first juvenile drug
courts (JDC) in Kentucky, implemented in 2003 located in Lexington, Fayette
County (Hayden, 2012). This program evaluation was conducted using records
provided by Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) (Hayden, 2012).
The concept of a drug court was conceived in Miami Dade County, Florida by Chief
Judge Gerald Wetherington in 1989. That court was for adults, and the idea was to
provide alternatives to incarceration and probation by affording offenders
opportunities to get treatment with incentives and sanctions to encourage sobriety
and lawful behavior (Hayden, 2012). Due to the success of adult drug courts, and
with the increase in both substance abuse and
36. John Cage Is The Epitome Of A Cutting Edge Composer
John cage is the epitome of a cutting edge composer. This is due to the fact that cage
has achieved an appreciation for music which is unmatched by any other composer.
Cage enjoys sounds because of their dynamics and their lengths, something other
composers usually overlook. This gives him the advantage to compose musicin a
unique manner; he can make music that is unmatched by others. This is what
undoubtedly makes him one of the most influential composers of the 20th century.
One significant reason why cage is considered unique is because of his
experimentation with unorthodox instruments such as the prepared pianoand tape
recorder. This was in efforts to break the musical boundaries of traditional music in
the west, this style was a change from his traditional musical styles early on in his
career, which were more alike to his mentors and followed more of 12 tone style.
The ideas brought forward by cage made him more of a philosopher than a
composer, he broke the normal role of a composer by encouraging people to focus
on sounds rather than music and by promoting eastern philosophies, specifically
Zen Buddhism. He has extended his teachings for years to come after his death by
publishing many books such as silence and lectures and writings . Cage always
placed an emphasis on the ideas conveyed by his music more than how they
sounded, for example cage composed a piece in which the performers are silent, only
with ambient sounds in the background. This goes to show
37. Corporate Strategy Of The Business Diversification
Business Diversification
The corporate strategy of the business diversification is to create a synergy to achieve
more performance under a single umbrella rather than diverse business units (SNU,
2016). A business diversification is to build the company shareholder value when the
independent business units can perform under a single corporation as an umbrella
organization instead of independent parents or a corporation. A diversified
organization has many business units and each business units have its own business
level strategy irrespective of whether they are related or not. A successful business
diversification not only spreads the business risk across the diverse units but also
adds a long term economic value to the company. The strategy for starting a new
business is based on industry attractiveness test, the cost of entry and the better off
test (Thompson, Peteraf, Gamble, and Strickland, 2016).
A company with a business diversification consistently grew its profit by developing
a diversified expansion plan beyond its core boundary compares to a new initiative.
Repeatability allows a company to learn the mistakes made and support the
systematic growth of the business a complex process. (Zook and Allen, 2003)

In eukaryotes, in addition to proven roles of regulatory components, epigenetic
mechanisms have emerged as significant factors in conferring environmental
adaptability. In spite of the clear role of chromatin structure in controlling gene
expression in eukaryotes (Haig, 2004), the relevant mechanisms involved in
regulating Pi transcriptional networks has not been fully investigated. In response to
environmental signals, epigenetic mechanisms can affect the chromatin landscape by
altering its biochemical properties and promote rapid reactivation of numerous stress
response genes. An understanding of chromatin structure and the epigenetic

For example, mutation in two Arabidopsis genes that encode flowering time
regulators, FCA and FPA, exhibited defects in flower development due to RNA
mediated chromatin silencing of a range of loci in the genome including the Phytoene
Desaturase (PDS) gene. This suppression was accompanied by the asymmetric
methylation of the endogenous PDS locus. These data suggest that FCA and FPA
regulate chromatin silencing through interaction in a locus dependent manner with
the siRNA directed DNA methylation pathway to regulate common targets (Bäurle
et al., 2007).
Figure 4. Overview of possible epigenetic modifications. These epigenetic
modifications can all influence the accessibility of the chromatin structure to the
transcriptional machinery. This image was taken from a previous publication (Gräff

DNA methylation
Cytosine DNA methylation is a major epigenetic mark in both plants and animals that
tends to generate heterochromatin structure, which leads to gene repression. DNA
methylation is not evenly distributed across the genome but rather is enriched at
repetitive DNA elements like transposons, whereas most genes have limited
methylation or are unmethylated (Zilberman et al., 2007). In plants, three distinct
types of methylation occur based on sequence context. These include CG, CHG and
CHH site classes, which are established and maintained by separate enzymatic
pathways (Bewick et al., 2016). Several studies have

The Case Against America s War on Drugs
The legal prohibition on most psychoactive drugs has been in place in this country
for the better part of a century. This policy of prohibition, however, has never been
based on reason or careful consideration, but on the paranoia of a small segment of
society and the indifferent willingness of the majority to accept this vocal minority s
claims without question. Outlawing any use of a particular drug is a violation of the
basic freedom of individuals to act as they please in their private lives. However,
even if one does not accept this belief, an objective analysis of the United States
history of prohibition clearly shows that attempts to enforce this policy have done far

First of all, the Harrison act was only intended to regulate the sale of these drugs,
making them available over the counter in small doses and in larger doses with a
doctor s prescription. Only later did the courts and law enforcement interpret this law
as a prohibition. Reasons for the law included the association of opium with the
widely despised Chinese American community and lobbying by medical and
pharmaceutical associations who sought a monopoly on the sale of narcotics, but the
primary concern was to meet international obligations created by the new
international drug control treaty. Marijuana was not banned until 1937, but no
medical testimony was presented to congress at this time. Thus prohibition of these
drugs occurred with little deliberation and with little rational justification (Ostrowski).
Alcohol prohibition, the noble experiment began in 1918. Few, if any, would deny
that this experiment was a disaster. I will discuss the details of this experiment
throughout the paper as it is relevant to the current war on drugs, but suffice to say
that prohibition utterly failed to curb alcohol consumption while creating a black
market for liquor which was dominated by violent criminals, and encouraging the
consumption of hard liquor which was not subject to any legal quality controls.
Alcohol prohibition was repealed in 1933.
