2. Iraq National Museum Case Study
In response to questions and concerns regarding the looting of the Iraq National
Museum, I, Condoleezza Rice will try to clear up some issues.
On April 10, 2003, after we took out Hussein, a mob of looters attacked the Iraq
National Museum. Iraq is considered the Cradle of Civilization and harbors
priceless artifacts from Babylonian, Assyrian and Sumerian kingdoms. The National
Museum of Iraq s looting from April 9 to April 11, 2003 resulted in the loss of
15,000 artifacts despite our presence with a military tank unit and soldiers the looting
went unchecked. More than15, 000 artifacts disappeared. Some have accused our
occupying troops that they have themselves looted artifacts. Secretary of Defense

Steven Soderbergh s film Ocean s 11, is a thrilling heist about eleven reckless men
trying to rob three of Las Vegas wealthiest casinos in one night. Soderbergh remakes
the 1960s rat pack version in a way that completely changes the storyline and many
of the characters. He uses the glamour of Hollywood filmmaking to contribute to the
cleverness of the plans used by the thieves and the overall high speed feeling of the
movie. In addition the cast selection creates emotional immediacy with the characters
and their big personalities. The cast provides relationships on screen which connects
with those in audiences around the world. Soderbergh creates the dramatized build up

WORM
The worm lives underneath the ground in moist rich humus soil. The worm is
Terrestrial which means it is related to earths or its inhabitants, and is not restricted
to moist environments as the worms internal lungs keep it moist. As worms are
nocturnal they only are active at night Which gives them less chance to be eaten by
birds as birds hunt in the day time. This is an advantage as they will not dry out in

As the water flows through the gills of the fish the lamellae gains oxygen in order
for the fish to have efficient gas exchange. Because fish live in the water and not land
it is impossible to breathe (inhale/exhale) that s why they have gills as their main gas
exchange organ, unlike mammals with lungs and worms with skin.
Fish excrete in the sea which is important for the ecosystem. An advantage for fish is
that the blood flows through the lamellae in the opposite direction to the water
flow so their gas exchange process is not interrupted while gas is exhaled. There is
also no dead space in the gills as most water that passes over the gills o2 is diffused
into the fish blood. Fish have rich blood supply to gills and are highly vascularised.
The fish have numerous folds to the gill structure which increases the surface area so
efficient gas exchange.
Mammal Sheep
Comparisons: a tracheal system in mammals would be too heavy as lungs would
require large amounts of water to extract sufficient oxygen, both fish and worms have
high vascularised blood vessels. Mammals, worms and fish breathe oxygen but in
different ways e.g. skin, gills and lung.
Fish, sheep and worms have large surface are to volume ratio to get efficient gas
exchange. They all have different habits which make them favourable in their own
species as worms can survive in soil unlike mammals and fish, fish can survive in
water unlike

5. Truman Watergate Doctrine
Harry Truman became president of the United States In 1945 after the death of
Roosevelt. He played an instrumental role in the remainder of the world war. There
were notable events that happened while he was in office. One was when the British
pulled out of Greece when they had a civil war. Truman lobbied for a $400 million
package, through the Truman doctrine, to aid Greece and Turkey so as to evade the
control of the Soviets. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was founded (NATO)
during his time with the aim of resisting communist expansion. A few years later, he
signed the mutual security act stating that the U.S will provide military aid to non
communist nations. (Sibley)
Dwight D. Eisenhower became president after Truman the same year Joseph Stalin
dies. In the same year, the central intelligence agency is responsible for assisting a
coup that sees the prime minister of Iran, Mohammed Mosadded, ousted. Years later,
the president signs the Eisenhower doctrine that explains the United States stand on
defending Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan from communist powers. It was under

Florida Panther I did my report on the Florida Panther. Playing basketball as a
Kentucky Wesleyan Panther, made me want to do research about one of the many
species of panthers. These species are going through endangerment and will
probably be extinct in the near future. They were listed in the Endangered Act in
1967, so one positive is they have held on for some years now. There are about
eighty to about one hundred Florida panthers still living today. The historic range of
the Florida panther extends from Florida to Louisiana throughout the Gulf Coast
states and Arkansas. These species are distributed all around southwestern tip of
Florida. They are all around distributed ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The government basically gave up trying to help out these species twenty years ago.
There are some efforts that can be made. Activists and government officials in Florida
have been effective in securing some funding for panther recovery; Activists have
been especially critical of the Florida panther license plate program, which funds the
Florida Panther Research and Management Trust Fund. Launched in nineteen ninety,
the license plate has generated significant funding for Florida panthers: License plate
sales raised $2.66 million in nineteen ninety eight to nineteen ninety nine and $2.49
million in nineteen ninety nine to two thousand. According to state statute, the
Florida Panther Research and Management Trust Fund should be used to increase
panther food sources, determine conflicts between public use and panther survival,
maintain genetic variability, and support management and enforcement activities that
protect panther habitat, in addition to educating the public about panthers and their
conservation and working towards reestablishing panthers. When they are invested in
panther conservation, experts contend that they are not directed to the panther s most
immediate needs such as preserving and acquiring habitat or furthering objectives for
establishing additional panther populations. The Auditor General for the state of
Florida has undertaken an audit of the Florida Panther Trust

7. Taking Risks In Wonder By RJ Palacio
In part six of RJ Palacio s realistic fiction novel Wonder, it shows the theme that new
things are great so you should take risks and live on the edge because you only live
once. One example of the theme is when August is starting to lose his hearing and
has to go to a special doctor. August has always hated the doctors office because it
brings back terrible memories like all 27of his face surgeries. He also thinks that
by getting hearing aids it gives people another reason to make fun of him. Ever
since I was little, the doctors told my parents that someday I would need hearing
aids.I don t know why but this always freaked me out (Palacio 211). Readers can

He also doesn t want to loose his two best friends and is afraid that if he gets and
worse looking they won t want to be friends with him anymore. This quote relates
to the theme because August has to take a risk (which in this case would be his
hearing aids) and if he challenges himself by just wearing it more people be like
oh, what is so bad about him and Auggie by taking one risk could have more
friends. In addition, the next quote is also occurring in the doctor s office. It is
when August puts them on and is crying to his mom that everyone will make fun
of him and that he would loose Summer and Jack. August thinks this because he
already has most people not liking him so when he puts on his hearing aids he
believes that people will call him more names. I can t wear them mom, everyone
will notice (Palacio 212). Readers can realize from this quote that August wants to
be as normal as possible and hearing aids aren t the answer. You are also informed
that August doesn t want to be there because his least favorite body part is his

8. Narrative About Anxiety
The anxiety started when we checked into the hotel. I was in Syracuse with three of
my best friends, ready to have a weekend full of exhilaration and laughter. Hey girls!
I have the keys to our hotel room, would you like to go put your luggage away before
we go to the mall? my friends mom asked cheerfully. We all replied yes, and made
our way to the room so we could get ourselves settled. After Kendall, Lauren, Jaidan,
and I were unpacked and ready to go, we walked to the car and drove to Destiny USA
Mall. As we got closer to the mall, my anxiety started to build. We were going to go

We all were making our way cautiously through the course when all of the sudden I
heard a scream from above me. When I looked up I saw that Jaidan had slipped off
of one of the ropes and she was hanging onto the course with only her harness. I
rushed up to help her, and saw that Lauren had slipped below me while she was
also trying to reach Jaidan. I was so determined to make it to them that I almost
slipped off of one of the obstacles too! By the time Kendall, Lauren, Jaidan, and I
met up again, we were all so rattled with fear that we decided it would be better to
climb off of the course. Lauren and I leaped across the course like kangaroos trying
to get off of it. By the time we reached the wooden bridge that would lead us back
to flat ground, our breaths were ragged and we were more scared than a cat in a
lion s cage. We ripped our harnesses off and threw them back onto the hooks. The
other girls took a little longer to catch up with us, but once they also came off the
course and met us, we were all relieved beyond belief. Although we were still left
shaking, we all felt courageous. Even though we hadn t completed the course, or
done it as gracefully as we might ve hoped, we still pushed ourselves onto the ropes
course that we had all been so afraid of. Now that it was over, the course looked less

9. Comparing Emerson And Thoreau, By Ralph Waldo
Emerson
There was a time when looking for knowledge we searched the streets and we
searched the skies. We did not search in our pockets for our phones. Now, the
streets are empty and the skies bear nothing we can see. No one is looking up at
the sky, they are looking down searching through their phone s for the answers
untold. Our phones, these wondrous pieces of technology are taking grasp of our
minds, dulling our thoughts and our senses.Yet, if we just took the time to look up
at the sky once in awhile, we would see the knowledge it holds. The only thing that
can tilt our heads upward is nature. Nature is so beautiful and holds so many
answers. This is what Ralph Waldo Emersonwas trying to tell us. This is why with

We stacked it so high we can no longer see what s important. Emerson made a valid
point in The American Scholar, in which he said, In this view of him, as Man
Thinking, the theory of his office is contained. These bright minds have been so
constricted by their duties they become stuck and cannot reach past the bars of
society. We no longer fight the towers as they have become the only thing we
know, and so Most persons do not see the sun. At least they have a very superficial
seeing (Emerson, Nature, Chapter 1). This means that the towers, of technology,
have become so high that we can no longer see the sun, and now we only have a
past memory of what we think it looks like. If we just took Emerson and Thoreau s
words into consideration we would see that they are telling us something important.
They are telling us how to tear down those towers and see the sun once more, to see
the purpose. One might object here that they are just words on a paper and they can
not help us, and they themselves have an unhealthy mind but went about prescribing
medicine to others (Donovan Hohn, New Republic). However, it would seem they
had an idea of what they were talking about. To just say that since one is stuck they
can not help another with the same issue is unfactory. They create a safe haven
where people can retreat to, to search for a better way when they cannot find it
themselves. It is not always true

10. Oppression In Tara Ghoshal Wallace s Northanger Abbey
What have you been judging from? asks Henry Tilney after Catherine Morland
supposes his father to be his mother s murderer (Austen 197). When confronted with a
critic who asserts that the same Henry is not only an imposter pretending to act as the
narrator s mouthpiece, but also the antagonist in Catherine s story, the reader may ask
the same question. To answer, Northanger Abbeycritic Tara Ghoshal Wallace argues
that Henry s relationship with Catherine, and with women in general, is akin to the
narrator s oppressive relationship with the reader. More specifically, Wallace reveals
how the narrator and Henry both tend to reduce and manipulate the target of their
oppression. However, Wallace pollutes her analysis with her own propensity to
dismiss readers who view Henry s character differently, to assume that all readers
begin the novelwith the same expectations of Henry, and to baselessly allege that the
psychological effects of oppression she finds in Catherine also exist in the readers.
Wallace begins her analysis of Henry s role in the text by revealing how he feigns a...

For example, Wallace claims that at the beginning of Northanger Abbey, the
narrator instantly posits two kinds of readers: the naive reader of romance who
would expect a heroine to be an orphan and to engage in the more heroic
enjoyments of infancy, nursing a dormouse, feeding a canary bird, or watering a
rosebush ; and the more sophisticated reader who rejects romance and who knows a
parody when he sees one (Wallace 262). According to Wallace, the narrator holds a
black and white view of the readers. There are only two categories of readers: naive
and sophisticated. Therefore, the narrator reduces and diminishes the reader, refusing
to engage a more complicated one who cannot be placed neatly within one of two
opposing

11. Math s Relationship With Astronomy
Math s relationship with astronomy is one of the most unappreciated sciences to
this day. Math has not only allowed us to begin to answer some of life s greatest
questions that were only discussed in religion and story, but it has enabled us to see
further than we have ever seen into the vast universewe exist in through astronomy.
Math has often been described by the greatest minds our species as the language of
the cosmos. The ability to do complex mathematics has allowed us as a species to
learn, discover and even explain objects we discover in spacethrough astronomy. The
importance of astronomy and it s connection to math is first touched upon by Dr Carl
Saganin his book Cosmos, then Max Tegmark goes on to discuss that not only is
math used to explore our universe, but the entire universe and its functions is made
of math, and finally Astronomy magazine discusses how math is used to explain the
simple all the way to the complex. In Cosmos by Dr Carl Sagan, Carl explains how
utilizing math has helped humanity gain understanding and even a certain degree of
mastery over our environment. Carl first points out how many struggles great
thinkers had to overcome to reach this level we are currently at. All of the great men,
who came one after another, piled on the accumulation of their work that has molded
modern math. Through all of those great men our species has discovered formula for
answering questions that seemed out of our reach for so long, along with the

In other cases, it may be cured by drinking a lot of water and using antibiotics. To
test for both of these types of bacteria, one may use Gram Staining. This process
consists of three pretty basic steps. First, prepare a sample of the bacteria and strip
everything away from its DNA. To do this properly, sterilize all equipment. Use a
wire loop to extract a sample of the bacteria. Place this sample in a microcentrifuge
tube. Add digestive enzymes to the tube to strip away the beacteria. Seal the tube
and let it stand for several hours. Move the tube into a heated water bath to heat the
enzymes, thus deactivating them. Then add the tube into a centrifuge and
counterbalance. Centrifuge the sample and add the desired DNA at the top of the
tube to a PCR tube. Second, make copies of this DNA. This part needs three PCR
tubes. Add the master mix into each tube. The master mix contains water, a pH
buffer, a large amount of each nucleotides, a large amount of DNa primers, and a
Heat stable DNA polymerase. Now prepare negative and positive controls. The
positive will have a control solution of 16S rDNA in place of the sample DNA. The
negative will simply have deionized water in place

13. A Clockwork Orange Analysis
On the surface a Clockwork Orange written in 1962 by Anthony Burgess appears
to be a protest novel criticising a totalitarian government s prohibition of free will
and censoring free speech. The Government in A Clockwork Orange appears
extremely socialistic and it extends complete control over all its citizens, Burgess
appears to abhors the lack of freedom in government controlled societies and as a
result despite Alex s violent crimes Burgess paints the removal of free will through
the Ludovico technique as immoral. However, the novel does not seem to protest or
in fact raise an argument against the powerless of women. Women are powerless

Alex seems to be caught in a cycle of crime and poverty. The state in a Marxists
sense describes the institutions by which class rule is maintained. In the dystopian
society Alex lives in the the ruling class does not represent the interests of the
whole population, and a minority maintains its power and privileges by exploiting
the majority in this case the working class. The state largely ignores crime in order
to enlimantate the political threat which could undermine the government s power.
F. Alexander who was a threat to the government was called a menace and was put
away for his own protection . In reality this is far from the truth the Government
does not put F. Alexander away for being a menace or for his own protection, but
rather for being a political dissident, a menace to the Government s power. No
totalitarian power would ever tolerate an ideological opponent. The government is
brutal and determined to maintain their power. One way they do this is through
Statefilm which is Government produced cinema. The Government uses mass media
as propaganda and to sedate the populace, and Burgess draws analogies between
mass media and Ludovico s Technique. Both exercise a form of mind control over
their helpless victims. During in the Ludovico technique Alex is tortured so he will
be physically unable to commit acts of violence without physical reappreciations.

a.) I designed my lesson plan to be used in first and second grade. This lesson plan
was designed to be a cross curriculum lesson about spiders that incorporates the
following subject areas: Science, Language Arts, and Visual/Performance Arts. This
lesson will be taught during the month of October after students have gained prior
knowledge through an insectunit that was taught the month before.
(b.) The content object that I used in this lesson was for students to be able to identify
important information about spiders. I think that providing students with background
knowledge prior (teaching a month long unit on insects) would assist students when
it comes time to do a unit on spiders. I think that the most challenging aspect for
this lesson would be the vocabulary words. The vocabulary list that I have complied
varies in difficulty and I believe that some of the words would be more challenging
to some of the students. I would ensure that these words were taught previously in
the insect unit in order for students to become familiar with these words. I would
also have prior knowledge of my student s abilities and provide individualized word
lists that match the student s ability. In addition, I would stock the student library
with a variety of books about spiders that contain the vocabulary words, and utilize
various center activities to reinforce the lesson objectives for this unit. The content
object that I created is both measureable and observable and the

The Effects of Burning Carbon Dioxide
The main waste product of fuel we burn is carbon dioxide, which is thought to
have been the main factor in the gradual rise of global temperatures of the last
hundred years. The rise is called Global Warming . The mechanism used to explain
the rise in temperature is the greenhouse effect. Infrared radiation is trapped by
atmospheric gases. Sunlight easily passes these gases on it way into the earth s
atmosphere but on its way out the gases reflect the radiation back towards earth.
Therefore as these gases increases the amount of radiation kept in the atmosphere is

He suggests that rather than cutting carbon dioxide emissions, it would be more cost
effective to reduce the amount of sunlight entering the atmosphere by scattering the
sun s rays. Fine metallic nets deployed in the stratosphere should do the trick
according to Mr. Teller. This would help slow or even stop global warming.
Carbon Monoxide:
Carbon monoxide forms during incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. It is
extremely hazardous as things such as gas central heating boilers which are badly
maintained can leak the gas causing carbon monoxide poisoning which would result
in death. Carbon monoxide reacts irreversibly with haemoglobin. In red blood cells
haemoglobin normally reacts with oxygen to form oxyhaemoglobin, which is then
transported from our lungs to all our body cells. When carbon monoxide is breathed
in it combines with haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin where the oxygen is
not released from the haemoglobin therefore causing a lack of oxygen which can
result in death.
The solutions to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning are to give the odorless gas a
distinct smell so that people can smell when there are gas leaks in their appliances.
Another solution is to install carbon monoxide detectors which act in the same way
as fire alarms and give off a signal when they detect carbon monoxide. There are other
precautions which can be taken such as maintaining your

16. Georgia Southwestern State University Essay
During my first semester at Georgia Southwestern State University, I realized that
there are several positive and negative aspects to living on campus. As a student who
lives on campus, I observe these every day. Some aspects are beneficial to students
like the fitness center and student organizations because they help to enhance the
health, intellect, and entertainment of life on campus. Some aspects are not beneficial
to students like the lack of cleanlinessin the dormitories and the food in the cafeteria
because they prohibit students from enjoying life on campus. I would like to bring
attention to a negative aspect of living on campus because I think that it needs to

Southwestern State University. The washers and dryers that are available for the

to do because I do my own laundry at home, and the washers and dryers on campus

17. The Internationalization Of International Marketing
International marketing is an area in which exact work by professionals is regularly
more advanced and perceptive than academic contributions (Wind, 1979). For the
expansion of international marketing, firms require both general learning and market
specific learning. Market specific knowledge is picked up principally through
involvement in the business sector, while learning of the operations can be
exchanged starting with one nation then onto the next (Andersen, 1993). For
experiential knowledge of the market, an immediate connection between business
sector information and business sector commitment is proposed and HR can be
considered as a measurement of knowledge (Andersen, 1993). Consequently, the

MacDougall (1957) stated that, the competitive force of modern nations is upgraded
when they make new products or production processes. An items business position is
known to change after some time as is its profitability and the product life cycle is a
theory to perceive particular phases of the sales history of an item (Lancaster
Wesenlund, 1984).
Lastly, the objective of this essay is to show the theoretical development in
internationalization for firms and the selection of their foreign country markets they
choose to expand their business ventures.
Discussion
Theoretical Development
Firms venture into international markets to widen their market share and many new
firms that venture into international markets prefer a country that is similar to the
firms home nation.
The Uppsala model depiction of foreign expansion could in reality be seen as
concentrating basically on the internationalization ways of mature firms that are
sufficiently experienced to travel to another country, whereas the observational
evidence suggests that such experience may now and again be lacking, and that
numerous new pursuits are actually connected with early internationalization, i.e.
resulting from brand name creation or research development activities, which have
been built up before (Osiyevskyy, Verbeke Zargarzadeh, 2014).
The worldwide expansion patterns portrayed by

18. Nuclear, Molecular And Super Molecular Scale
Introduction A battery is an electrical device that contains one or more
electrochemical cell that converts stored chemical energy into electrical energy by
using an anode, which is the negative side of the battery and a cathode, which is
the positive side. Combining the anode and cathode with a chemical substance in
the middle will create an electrical current (Google, 2014). Nanotechnology is the
manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular and super molecular scale.
Batteries and nanotechnology are relatable and can work together by creating
miniature batteries that are able to make future fundamental developments in just
about every industry such as healthcare, automotive, science and mainly any
mainstream consumable product. History Past One of the first batteries
discovered was called the Parthian battery. In 1936, near Baghdad, railway
construction workers came across an odd shaped clay cased object, which turned
out to be the ancient Parthian battery. This ancient battery is aged at about 2000
years old. The Parthian name came from the people of Baghdad around 250 BC
because they ruled this area at the time. It was said that Parthians may have used
batteries to electroplate silver, this explaining the creation of this ancient battery.
The battery was made of a clay casing on the outside, with an iron rod wrapped in
copper inserted into the casing. Then the clay jar was filled with a vinegar solution
which created about 1.1 to 2 volts of electricity, which

Every human being consists of qualities that form to either their good or bad side.
No one is purely good or evil. To try to fit in society, people are willing to do
whatever it takes to hide any characteristics that might fall short of the social norm.
In Robert Louis Stevenson s novella, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,
the characters demonstrate how every human being consists of both qualities and
how people suppress the qualities that are undesired by society in order to fit in.

People would rather be miserable and pretend to be someone else, than risk judged
for who they really are. In the novella, Stevenson uses Dr. Jekyll s experiment to
show how far people are willing to go to be freed from judgment of society. Dr.
Jekyll conducted an experiment that split his personality into two people, the good
and evil side of him. Dr. Jekyll knew he was risking his life before he started but he
thought it would be worth it to get to be the other side of him for once. I hesitated
long before I put this theory to the test of practice. I knew well that I risked death.
(57) Dr. Jekyll was willing to risk everything to experience his other side. When Dr.
Jekyll drank his chemical solution, he transformed into Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde was

20. Interaction Between Humans And The Environment
Theme 1: Interaction between humans and the environment.
About 10,000 BCE, the area that is now the Sahara desert was a grassy steppe land.
Humans prospered by hunting wild cattle, collecting grains, or catching fish. After
about 9000 BCE, people of eastern Sudan domesticated cattle and became nomadic
herders.
After 5000 BCE, the northern half of Africa became hot and dry, driving humans and
animals to gather around bodies of water. Both Egypt and Nubia relied heavily on
agriculture at least by 5000 BCE. At first, Egyptians easily cultivated, while Nubians
had to create fields. Eventually, demographic pressures forced Egypt to create
sophisticated methods of agriculture.
Theme 2: Development and interactions of cultures.
For thousands of years, when the Sudanese buried kings they also routinely executed
a group of royal servants and entombed them with the king to serve him in the
afterlife. Royal servants of Egyptian and Nubian kingdoms were also part of rituals
similar to those from Sudan.
The Sudanese developed religious beliefs that reflected their agricultural society,
recognizing a single divine force as the source of good and evil, which they
associated with rain.
The early pharaohs claimed to be gods living on Earth in human form. Egyptians
associated early pharaohs with Horus, the sky god. Later, they viewed rulers as
offspring of Amon, a sun god. They considered the pharaoh a human sun overseeing
affairs on the earth, and believed the pharaoh merged with

21. Examples Of Intrusive Surveillance
Intrusive Surveillance Can be carried out by covertly following suspects in
unmarked, normal looking vehicles, or through infiltration whereby an undercover
officer infiltrates the targeted suspect group and covertly gathers evidence.
Surveillance devices can also be used when investigating suspects; these can be
anything from tracking devices to phone bugging. Officers may infiltrate a suspect
s home or business and plant listening devices and bugs throughout the area; these
will then be monitored in an unmarked vehicle parked close by. These vehicles are
often disguised as moving vans or delivery vans. Another way officers may plant
listening devices is to pose as electricians, plumbers and gas men, etc. These are all
more commonly used by

22. A Brief Look at Mary Magdalene
As an influential biblical figure, Mary Magdalene has been the subject of numerous
works of art. She has been represented in a variety of tropes and styles; which were
subject to the religious, political, and social standards of the time. Giacomo Galli s
Saint Mary Magdalene was painted in the early seventeenth century in Italy, at the
beginning of the Baroqueera. By contorting Magdalene s body, bathing her in light
and encompassing her in darkness, Galli was able to present the viewer with an
image representative of her divided identity.
Galli likely chose to paint the Magdalene because she was one of the most popular
saints in Baroque Italy. As Susan Haskins (author of Mary Magdalen: Myth and
Metaphor) notes, from the thirteenth century, the penitent Magdalene became the
most popular image of the saint in Italy, as the perfect example of a reformed sinner.
Magdalene s ______ demonstrated a realistic path of personal improvement. Her
reputation, at the time, revolved around her supposed past as a prostitute.
Historically, this meant that she was cured of a physical ailment and not of
prostitution. However, as it was believed that Magdalene s transformation from
prostitute to apostle made her accessible to the Catholic community, the church
exemplified this notion in order to make Magdalene a suitable role model for
repentance.
Religiously charged Baroque paintings of the seventeenth century, such as Galli s
Saint Mary Magdalene, were created by two distinctly

24. Drinking Out Of A Water Bottle
The water bottle we all know today was patented on May 15, 1973. It was a weird
idea right? Putting water in a plastic bottle and selling it to people. Although it seems
like an insignificant invention it has become an important staple of today s modern
society. Everywhere I turn I see people drinking out of a water bottlewhether it s an
athlete after a run, a child after a long day of play, or a worker at lunch time. Many
people would look at the development of this new item as a great advancement in
our society. Water is necessary for our body to be productive and successful but at
what cost to our habitat? I am choosing a water bottle as my cultural artifact not
only because of how prevalent they are in our world but because they will have an
even greater effect on our environment in years to come. The big push to drink
bottled watercame in the 90 s. The Coke and Pepsi businesses were booming and so
was obesity. These major companies were being criticised for selling such sugary
unhealthy drinks and didn t know what they could do to make the public happy
without losing money. Selling bottled water was the perfect solution to their
problem. Years before a new technology allowed plastic to be lighter, cheaper, and
clearer. This plastic was called PET plastic and made it easy for Coke and Pepsi to
get into the bottled water business. Millions of dollars were spent advertising this
new product. This water was healthier, cleaner, crisper, and more pure. We are all

25. Learning Environment And Instructional Practice
Student ratings can provide teachers, administrators, and researchers with valuable
information about the learning environment and instructional practice, and have
become a critical component in policy efforts to assess and improve teaching.
Seventeen states and many large municipalities including Chicago, Illinois, Memphis,
Tennessee and Denver, Colorado include student ratings as a key component in
formative and summative teacher evaluation plans (Partee, 2012). Several other states
and municipalities, including Los Angeles, are in the process of developing or
piloting student surveys for future use in teacher evaluation (Phillips Yamashiro,
2013). Advocates note that students are natural observers of their classroom
environments, have extensive and rich knowledge of their teachers, and that student
ratings can be predictive of important outcomes, such as student academic and socio
emotional development. In addition, student ratings are relatively easy and cost
effective to collect, particularly in comparison to structured classroom observations,
(Rothstein Mathis, 2013; Rowan Correnti, 2009; Balch, 2012) which are perhaps the
most widely used method for collecting data about instructional practice (Rowan
Correnti, 2009; Partee, 2012; Pianta Hamre, 2009; Taylor Tyler, 2012; MartГ
nez,
Taut Schaaf, 2013). Student ratings are often collected using surveys or
questionnaires, and inferences about instructional practices and learning
environments are often based on

If a person constantly eats too little proteins they can become susceptible to
disease, it can cause a person to develop anemia, dry skin can develop and in
women their bones can become brittle. If a person does not have enough
carbohydrates in their diet they can develop malnutrition which is also called lack
of calories. If a person does not have enough lipids in their diet it can also cause
serious health risks. Fat provides nutrients for the body and supports the body s
basic function. Lack of this macronutrient can cause problems with a person s
immune system, skin and vision. My fiber intake does not meet the requirements
of the recommendation for me as calculated in the iProfile website 100% because
my intake was way too low. My recommended intake for fiber was 64g 112g and
my intake was only 44g. My three day intake of food did not meet the minimum
number of servings of foods from each fiber containing groups. Both fruits and
vegetables fell short of the recommended intake that was required of me. The foods
that provided the most fiber in my days meals were salad, pizza, and corn flakes.
The foods that provided the least amount of fiber were eggs. Trends in my food
choice that may affect my fiber intake would be the places I choose to eat or simply
eating out. Changes that I would make among my vegetables, fruits, meat and meat
alternatives and grain choices to increase my fiber intake would be to eat whole fruits
instead of drinking fruit juice,

American Literature
9 March 2013
The Struggle for Power in The Yellow Wallpaper, Daddy, and Editha Charlotte
Perkins Gilman s piece, The Yellow Wallpaper (written in 1890, published in 1892),
is a semi autobiographical piece that, although believed to be a result of her severe
postpartum depression, illustrates the difficulties faced by women during the Women
s Movement. These difficulties are further illustrated by the similarly semi
autobiographical poem, based on Plath s father and husband, Daddy by Sylvia Plath
(written in 1962, published in 1965). These gender roles are then reversed in Editha,
(written in 1898, published in 1905) which has been said to be William Dean Howells
s response to the Spanish American War.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The initial description of this woman is of her stooping down and creeping about.
The woman in the wallpaper is a direct reflection of the narrator s confidence and
feelings of inferiority, and the change they undergo. Initially, the woman in the
wall symbolizes the narrator s fear of presenting herself and her opinions, and
being her husband s equal. She begins to display a building confidence in herself,
and an almost amused view of John s orders. When John tells her that she seems to
be doing well, in spite of the wallpaper, she has to stop herself from openly
laughing. It is at this point, where she is building confidence in herself, that she
begins to see the woman in the wallpaper more clearly. She states, I think that
woman gets out in the daytime! And I ll tell you why privately I ve seen her!
symbolizing her confidence beginning to emerge. Finally, she allows herself to be
fully confident; she allows her mind to fully explore the wallpaper. The lines, then I
peeled off all the paper I could reach standing on the floor. It sticks horribly and the
pattern just enjoys it, symbolizes the destruction of that which limits her. One may
argue that she has had a psychotic break, but the intention of these lines is to show
the narrator gaining confidence. As Gilman says herself in an article submitted to the
October 1913 issue of The Forerunner regarding her treatment: then, using the
remnants of intelligence that remained [...] I cast the noted

Auden was born in York, England, in 1907, the third and youngest son of

world of his era, a world of depression, Fascism, and war. His works adopt a prose
of a clinical diagrostician [sic] anatomizing society and interpret social and spiritual
acts as failures of communication (Magill 74). They also put forth a diagnosis of the
industrial English society among economic and moral decay in the 1930 s (Magill

modern society, and the dichotomy between the rich and the

31. Literary Analysis Of Blessing By Imtiaz Dharker
The poem, Blessing by Imtiaz Dharker, shows what life would be like without
water. It is so special that it is like a kindly god . The author uses various literacy
devices to convey her subject.
The poem opens with the statement there is never enough water , sharply piercing
the readers with a reality that lacks water. The poet wants us to stop and imagine
just for a second what it would be like without water, and realise how much we are
dependent on this god . She then draws a scene of what it would be like when this
kindly god enters into the water deprived reality. They are filled with euphoria, elated
that such a blessing has entered into their lives. The contrast between these two
scenes, the two emotions of despair and elation ... Show more content on

The author applies vivid verbs like crack and crashes to emphasize the following
technique. For example, the vivid verb crack in the quote the skin cracks like a
pod aids the simile like a pod in describing the pod drying out and cracking so
loudly that we can hear it happening right next to our ears. Another example of a
vivid verb is crashes in the quote The municiple pipe bursts, silver crashes to the
ground... . The vivid verb helps the visual imagery of water bursting out of the pipe
in crashing onto the ground like the powerful, fierce voice of a...god . The sibilance
in the small splash vibrates in our minds as we hear the drip of [water] splish
splashing into the tin mug . The drop of water is so small that Dharker uses the
onomatopoeia of echo to convey what it sounds like when the drop of water hits
the bottom of the tin mug. The sound bounces off the walls of the mug it is held
captive in. It also conveys that water is scarce that only a drop can be found to fill
an entire tin mug. The heavy sibilance in sometimes, the sudden rush of fortune
imitates the roar of water as it crashes and smashes onto the streets. This show of
power of water exhibits that it can really be like a god . It is no wonder that a the
religious diction of congregation is used to depict the people that comes out to
worship this deity roar of tongues to sing hymns to glorify this divine being.
In addition to descriptive and language techniques, Dharker also uses structure to
communicate with her readers about the subject of water. She uses enjambment in
stanza two to copy the movement of the drop of water on its way to the bottom of the
mug. Additionally, she applies enjambent in stanza three to mimic the water bursts
out of the pipe and flows along the

The Enlightenment helped to make this concept more distinct. Where women stood
in society was made clearer than ever before. They were to be viewed as the weaker

To start with, it seems important for me to define the concept artistic genius , which
sheds the light upon the mission any craftsman is going to manage. As far as I
understood, the genius is the natural talent or the outstanding skill, which allows the
individual to perceive the objects and phenomena of the everyday reality in the
unconventional way. At the same time, the word artistic implies the connection to
any form of art: drawing, painting, sculpture and so on. All together, the artistic
genius is viewed by me as the complex of the intrinsic qualities, which finds its
obvious embodiment in the creative work. Therefore, by creating the particular piece
of art, the maker is intended to transmit the specific idea to the general public, which
presupposes both the instruction and entertainment.... Show more content on

In this concern, the core characteristic of this period is the portrayal of the nudity and
the natural world (The Premier Artists of the Italian High Renaissance). This provides
an explanation to the renewed interest to the ancient culture, especially Greek and
Roman, as well as the change of the artistic canons. Here, it should be stressed that
the High Renaissance has initiated the cult of humanism, according to which, the
man has been treated as the visual proof of God s power. Moreover, the work of art
has been considered as the result of the marvellous and hard labor rather than the
craft itself (The Premier Artists of the Italian High Renaissance). All in all, these
changes are said by the scholars to be one of the most crucial moments in the history
of art due to the number of masterpieces

34. The Demise Of Homer Barron
Gabriel, Bridges English, 1020 Professor Emery, Taylor 3 September 2014 The
Demise of Homer Barron In William Faulkner s short story, A Rose for Emily, Ms.
Emily Grierson, the title character in the story, is a very peculiar character.
Introverted from society, trapped in a world of misconceptions, Emily never
receives any psychiatric treatment, but she definitely exhibits symptoms of a
mental illness. By examining Emily s behavior and her social relationships, it is
possible to conclude that Emily was mentally unstable and possessed a personal
motivation to kill Homer Baron. Although her community of Jefferson Mississippi
never thought Emily was crazy, she was indeed a very ill person. After Emily
Grierson dies at the age of seventy four, the town people of Jefferson Mississippi
turn out in countless numbers for the funeral. The men show up to pay tribute to a
fallen monument, the narrator states, and the women mostly out of curiosity to see
the inside of her house (32). The only individual who had seen the interior over the
time period before her death was Homer Barron and her servant Tobe. Tobe s
character was an old black man who did the cooking, gardening, and marketing.
Tobe was originally the servant of Emily s father Mr. Grierson, and stayed with
Emily after his death, seemingly out of devotion and commitment. Emily was born
during the Civil War as an only child. Her father, Mr. Grierson raised her with Old
Southern values. He prevented young

In The Lemon Orchard the writer creates tension and sympathy by contrasting the

The gang members constantly threaten the man whilst asking him questions to
intimidate him such as, do you hear, hotnot? Answer me or I will shoot a hole
through your spine. The tone in which he asks him shows how the gang are in full
control of the situation. The noun answer reinforces how demanding and powerful
the gang is and by forcing the answer they are intimidating the man and gaining a
sense of power. Despite this we feel a lot of sympathy for the man because in the
relationship the innocent man is belittled and bullied by the gang members. The idea

They demanded the man followed their orders and if not they will have to take
action. The imperative demanded displays the hostility of the gang members and
it also connotes aggression and violence. It also implies the dominance they have
over the man who we might feel sympathy for because he is outnumbered,
undeserving of the abuse and he also is innocent. The hostile language used is
reinforced when they refer to the coloured man as hotnot . This clearly portrays
how cruel they are to the man being victimised and this also shows how they have
taken away the man s identity and given him a racist, degrading name in place of
that. The reader can really feel sympathy for the man because he has been unfairly
abused because of how dignified he is throughout all of it, for example; he was
cold and tried to prevent himself from shivering in case it should be mistaken for
cowardice. The verb tried reinforces his dignity but also his fear of death and for
that we feel sympathy for him. The fact they use these names really shows how weak
and undignified they really are which completely contrasts all of the characteristics of

39. British Colonization Of India Essay
Historical Context and Background
British involvement on the Indian subcontinent began early in the 17th Century
through the British East India Company and its business ventures and dealings. The
early British Empire was composed of several self governing colonies which had
been settled in by British civilians, and colonial policy was one of salutary neglect
(Brown 2010). It is not unfair to say that Britain s relationship with India was one of
political subordination, but economic exploitation formed the core of this
relationship. The colonisation of India by the British Empire was clearly geared to
benefit the mother country, even at the cost of the colony (Modern India 2010).
Colonial exploitation was carried out through three distinct phases over time. The
first phase of mercantilism, which took place between 1757 and 1813, was one of
direct plunder in which surplus Indian revenues were used to buy Indian finished
goods to be exported back to Britain (Modern India 2010). In the second phase,
from 1813 to 1858, India was converted into a source of raw material and a market
for British goods. The third and final phase from 1858 onwards, was one of finance
imperialism in which British capital began to control Indian banks, foreign trading
firms and managing agencies in India. This phased exploitation was carried out
through a range of economic policies, primarily in the industrial and agricultural
sectors of the colonial economy of India (Modern History 2010).

40. Eisenhower Era Conservatism
In what ways was the Eisenhower era a time of caution and conservatism, and in
what ways was it a time of dynamic economic, social, and cultural change? The
Eisenhower era was a time of caution and conservatism. It was a time of dynamic
economic, social, and cultural change. One of the major reasons the Eisenhower
Era was cautious and conservation was because was America was going through
serious issues, civil rights. When Eisenhower heard of the lynching of blacks he
decided that he needed to step in and fix what was going on. He did not want to
step on any of the wrong boundaries. He was criticized for taking these actions so
lightly. How did Eisenhower balance assertiveness and restraint in his foreign policies

He was an anti communist. He was caught using campaign funds all for himself.
He held the, televised, Checkers Speech where he told the world how he spent his
money. Another person who was interested in televised occasions was Eisenhower.
He would pre tape his speeches so he would look like a calm put together man. He
would dumb down his responses so people would feel closer to him and relate. Not
only that but when he would completely deflect his answers towards people in

41. Pride And Prejudice Social Class
Should being in a different social class have an effect on how you feel about
someone? Even if the person has a pure heart, but low in social status? Jane Austen
outlines in Pride and Prejudice the substances of social class, pride, and women s
rights. Austen satirizes the social standing of the upper classes and how they treated
people of the lower class. How the people in the eighteenth century and also Pride
and Prejudicewere split into categories by what they have or what they know are very
similar.
In Pride and Prejudice, Austen describes to the reader how women were treated
differently from men; whether it was in education, the workforce, or politically.
Women typically did not have an education in the eighteenth century, as for
Elizabeth and her sisters, they were among the girls who was not able to attend
school nor had a governess. Elizabeth may not have had any real teaching, but she
learned a lot from reading in an interrogating conversation with Lady Catherine
about her education, Eliza says, . . . such of us as wished to learn, never wanted the
means. We were always encouraged to read and had all the masters that were
necessary. Those who chose to be idle certainly might (Pride and Prejudice 86). Many

She refused to give in to the social standard of her time. Darcy, who thought
Elizabeth was beneath him, was shocked to find out that Eliza has such a dynamic
mind and would not be obsequious to him (Chin Yi 2). Overall, Elizabeth s strong
personality sets her aside in the norm of society. Lady Catherine, Darcy s prideful
aunt, played a major role in the novel. She is in no way a civilized woman. She
believes that you have to have enough money for living and refine. Lady Catherine
tries to intimidate Elizabeth everytime they are around each other, but Elizabeth does
not care. Lady Catherine feels as though Eliza will be hated by most of the upper class

42. Importance Of Heroes In Modern Society
The term hero is attained from the ancient Greeks. In the mind of the Greeks, a
hero was a mortal who had succeeded beyond the normal scope of human
experience, in which received worship as if he or she was a god. Examples of
these heroes are Asclepius, the first doctor; Dionysus, the creator of Greek
fraternities; and Hercules, the infamous monster killer. While these people
completed honorable deeds, other people who had committed crimes were also
known as heroes. These people include Oedipus and Medea who also received
worship after their deaths. These men and women have had relevance in society for
many generations, and continue to have relevance in today s society. To the Greeks,
heroes were always doing something extraordinary. It... Show more content on

Although we know everything about ancient heroes, certain heroes past and present
are certainly cryptic. Those who looked up to George Washington or Thomas
Jefferson as heroes would be surprised to know that they once held slaves. Heroism
in the ancient age was much different because of the fact that you could be a hero if
you did something that was thought to be impossible, although it might be a
criminal deed. In modern society, heroes are only looked at as someone who
accomplished something of great importance. We as a society look at Navy SEALs
or Army Rangers as heroes, while the definition was much more expansive in
ancient society. While politicians might be looked at as a hero to certain people,
others most definitely do not view them as this because of the corrupt aura that
surrounds them. The cynicism in individuals today is much different, then when the
ancient civilizations were deciding who were heroes. Heroism has been an ever
changing definition in the world. The study of such heroes and heroism helps
modern day society shape the world. Many people might look up to Odysseus or
Achilles as their hero, while a more modern man might look up to Jim Brown or
Jackie Robinson as a hero. If it were not for the ancient Greeks, the idea of a hero
might not exist in our society. Thankfully the idea does exist and these heroes help
motivate us to strive for a better life. Cynicism can often be used as an

The circulatory system is the main reason the human body is able to get nutrients
from food consumed. The circulatory system contain blood vessels that transport all
the nutrients consumed to all parts of the body. Present within these blood vessels are
endothelial cells which are responsible for all activities occurring within the blood
vessels. However, too much activity from the endothelial cells might cause some
undesirable effects. When endothelial cells are not functioning properly, there will be
endothelial dysfunction leading to insufficient vasodilation and vasoconstriction,
resulting in cardiovascular disease. [6]

With the help of chemokines, cytokines and growth factors secreted by tumor cells,
macrophage are recruited to the site of tumors. These macrophages and tumor cells
will then secrete IL 1 which will allow angiogenesis, matrix remodeling, metastasis
and invasion to occur, resulting in tumor progression. [1]
Leptin and IL 1 are inflammatory and pro angiogenic factors which are able to
upregulate the levels of VEGF causing tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. By
decreasing these factors, there is a chance to control the spread and fight against
breast cancer. [1]
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an inflammatory condition of the skin which is usually linked to
cardiovascular diseases. [2] In psoriasis, microparticle (MP) levels are elevated. MPs
are membrane vesicles which contain nucleic acids, proteins and antigens which
causes thrombosis, inflammation and cardiovascular diseases. MPs are released into
the blood stream when activated or during apoptosis. [5] Inflammation occurs when
MP brings in arachidonic acid from activated circulating cells to the endothelium
which causes adhesion and diapedesis of monocytes. [2]
Upon detection of cell surface marker, patients with psoriasis have high
concentrations of CD31, CD105, CD41a and CD64. [2]
CD31 is a surface maker for platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM 1)
secreted by endothelial cells, monocytes and some lymphocytes. CD31 is able to
facilitate leukocyte movement

Buddhism

I.Introduction
Buddhism was started by a man named Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha ). He was
born ca. 563 B.C.E. in Lumbini near the Himalayan foothills. Siddhartha Gautama
was the warrior son of a king and queen. Legend has it that at his birth an astrologer
predicted he would withdraw from the temporal life. His father, in an effort to
prevent this, provided him with many luxuries and pleasures. As a young man, he
once went on a series of four chariot rides where he first saw severe forms of
suffering: old age, illness, and death (a corpse), as well as an ascetic renouncer,
according to the Asia Society (2014). The Buddha had a difficult time reconciling
his life compared to human suffering and abandoned his way of life leaving his
wife and new son. He lived in the forest to the point of near starvation. Finally, he
ate some food and sat down by a tree to meditate. According to some approximately
six months later he attained Nirvana and discovered the true answers of suffering and
the release from it.
There are three basic principles of the Buddha s teachings: Sila, Samadhi, and
Panna. Sila is the development of morality. Samadhi is the tool to purify the mind on
order to see its nature, how to control it, how to develop it, and make use of it. Panna
is wisdom or enlightenment the realization of the true nature of life and universe at
large.
The Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths and the

45. The Effects Of Television Essay
The television has been commercially available in America since the 1930 s.
According to the A.C. Nielsen Co., the average American watches more than 4 hours
of TV each day. In a sixty five year lifespan, that person will have spent nine years
glued to the tube. This constant attention to programming can cause positive and
negative effects. The negative effects on an average American family can be
explained psychologically, emotionally, and physically. Television
affects the psyche
of children and adults differently. A child has a limited view of the world and is
dependent on his/her parents for instruction, explanation, and knowledge. If the child

Negative emotional effects are not limited to dramatically scripted programming.
Broadcast news stations are viewed, by some, to show only negative perspectives
on current events. An objective perspective is crucial to understanding the larger
status of current events in our world and broadcast media is historically trying to
pull an emotional heartstring. If people are scared for their lives, they will be more
inclined to tune in to headline news broadcasts. This negative perspective has
manipulated the American public s emotions during several historical events.
During the Vietnam War, American liberal media portrayed the U.S. soldier as
being a horrible, baby killing monster. This negative portrayal of the American
military caused mass criticism of returning troops and many were spat upon in
public for serving their country, through unimaginable conditions. Recently, the
Hurricane Katrina coverage concentrated heavily on the injustices of pour planning
in the greater New Orleans, LA area, while ignoring the community support
exhibited by Mississippi residents on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Television can
have a negative physical effect on people. Obesity is at an all time high in America
and television is a major contributor to the fattening of the masses. Exercise takes
physical effort and most people are too tired by the end of the day to engage in any

Discussion of the Problems and Challenges of performance management
Performance management mostly is not successful as expected in the public sector.
According to Her Majesty s Inspectorate of Constabulary for Scotland (2005) a
thematic inspection of performance management noted that though performance
management was substantially developed , a long way is still needed to go before
everyone was responsible for providing a good service and many areas of
performance management in the early stages of implementation existed as well .
There are many implementation reasons causing these problems, for instance, the
reduction of government spending (Gianakis, 2002), or purely a tool for management

Technical problems refers to the indicators and the data, information collection,
interpretation and analysis. They are preponderantly difficult problems (Pollanen,
2005; Adcroft and Willis, 2005) and especially in terms of data quality (Black et
al., 2001), the choice of indicators (Black et al., 2001; Bevan and Hood, 2006;
Carvalho et al., 2006), validation (Evans, 2004; Carlin, 2004), reporting (Pollanen,
2005; Adcroft and Willis, 2005) and usage and interpretation (Neely et al., 1995;
Wilcox and Bourne, 2003). Nevertheless, organisations are focusing on improving
the technical problems of their indicators (Pollitt, 2005). Secondly, systems
problems are related to the bigger picture issues, i.e. integrating performance
systems into the original systems (Gianakis, 2002), a lack of strategic view which
encourages short term thinking (Neely et al., 1995), the ambiguity of performance
objectives (Pollanen, 2005), sub optimisation (Neely et al., 1995; Pollitt, 2000;
Gianakis, 2002; Adcroft and Willis, 2005) and the cost of performance
management (Train and Williams, 2000; Holzer and Yang, 2004; Pollanen, 2005).
The third kind of problem are the significant people issues and their involvement
inside the PM system among inter multiple stakeholders (Black et al., 2001; Wang

49. Brutus Betrayal In Julius Caesar
Heather Brewer said, The worst pain in the world goes beyond the physical. Even
further beyond any other emotional pain one can feel. It is the betrayal of a friend.
There has never been a truer statement that I have seen. Julius Caesar is one of the
prominent stories of betrayal in our lives today. The play is full of duplicity and
challenges, twisting the truth and making you think, who was in the wrong?
Similarly, people are betrayed and manipulated daily. However, Brutus felt he needed
to do what was necessary for the greater population. Therefore, Brutus did not view
his actions as those of betrayal. Brutus was Julius Caesar s closest friend and ally.
Brutus was persuaded into joining the conspiracy against Caesar by the other senators

50. La evoluciГіn de la ciencia a travГ©s de los aГ±os
Cuando era mГЎs chica, me enseГ±aron (o tal vez fue la impresiГіn que me dieron)
que las leyes cientГficas, teorГas y factores siempre estaban correctas, que iban a ser
invocadas, porque se basaban en observaciones objetivas, hechos concretos y
pruebas, y aun que yo sabГa que otras teorГas cientГficas en el pasado habГan sido
refutadas (por ejemplo la que decГa que la tierra era plana), nunca se me ocurriГі
pensar que eso tambiГ©n podrГa ser cierto ahora. Pero entonces llegГі el dГa en que
PlutГіn dejГі de ser considerado un planeta , y despuГ©s de estudiar por dos aГ±os
los nueve planetas que componen el sistema solar, me dijeron que ahora habГan ocho
planetas, ya que el noveno (PlutГіn) habГa sido considerado recientemente como un
cometa, por lo tanto despuГ©s de un par de meses de confusiГіn (y algunas
preguntas incorrectas en las pruebas, porque me tomo un tiempo asumir que lo que
yo pensaba que era un hecho, una verdadabsoluta, ya no era valido), finalmente me
di cuenta que la ciencia no era infalible, que no era un cien por ciento exacta, y que
un una pequeГ±a evidencia podГa influir mucho. La ciencia es una parte fundamental
de nuestra sociedad, nace de la curiosidad humana y busca dar una explicaciГіn a los
distintos aspectos del mundo. Por otro lado, la ciencia busca la verdad, aun que, no
siempre la encuentra o si es que la encuentra no siempre esta correcta. La tierra no es

The first difference is that their meeting. For example, what I have read in the
novel Christine and Raoul meet each other before the performance when she
smiled at the doctor. Then, she sees Raoul. However; in the movie. Both Christine
and Raoul meet each other after the performance when she sings Think of Me .
The second difference is that how they know each other. For instance, in the novel.
Christine doesn t know how Raoul looks, she just knows him personally because
she never had seen him for a long time, nevertheless; she didn t dare to ask him.
But, in the movie Christine knows Raoul and she said for Meg that she knows him
when they were young and he calls her little lotte . The last difference is that the
people who involved in their meeting. To clarify, in the novel the Doctor and Raoul s
brother Philippe they were in their first meeting. But, in the movie the managers,
Carlota, Madam Giry, and Meg was their in there first meeting. These are the
differences between the novel and the
