Essay Connectives
Crafting an essay on the subject of "Essay Connectives" poses a unique set of challenges. The
task requires not only a comprehensive understanding of connectives themselves but also the
ability to effectively articulate their significance within the context of essay writing.
To begin with, one must delve into the intricacies of connectives, grasping their various types,
functions, and nuances. This involves an in-depth exploration of how connectives serve to link
ideas, sentences, and paragraphs, thereby enhancing the coherence and flow of the overall piece.
Additionally, one must consider the subtle differences between different types of connectives,
such as coordinating, subordinating, and transitional phrases, and discern when and how to
employ each appropriately.
Furthermore, the endeavor demands a keen awareness of the broader principles of essay
composition. This includes understanding the structure of an essay, the significance of topic
sentences, the importance of maintaining a cohesive argument, and the role of connectives in
facilitating smooth transitions between different parts of the essay. Crafting an essay on
connectives necessitates not only theoretical knowledge but also practical application, as writers
must demonstrate their ability to integrate connectives seamlessly into their own writing.
Moreover, the challenge lies in striking a balance between providing theoretical insights and
offering practical examples. While it's crucial to explain the concept of connectives
comprehensively, it's equally important to illustrate their usage through concrete examples drawn
from various disciplines and contexts. This requires careful thought and meticulous planning to
ensure that the essay remains informative, engaging, and relevant to the reader.
In conclusion, tackling an essay on "Essay Connectives" entails navigating through a complex
terrain of theoretical concepts, practical applications, and illustrative examples. It demands a
nuanced understanding of connectives themselves, as well as their role within the broader
framework of essay writing. However, with diligence, attention to detail, and a clear
understanding of the subject matter, one can successfully navigate this challenge and produce a
compelling and insightful piece of writing.

Amylase Lab Report On Amylase
Amylase Laboratory Report
Introduction: In this lab our group observed the role of pancreatic amylase in the
digestion of starch and the optimum temperature and pH that affects this enzyme.
Enzymes are located inside of cells that increase the rate of a chemical reaction
(Cooper, 2000). Most enzymes function in a narrow range of pH between 5 through 9
(Won Park, Zipp, 2000). The temperature for which enzymes can function is limited
as well ranging from 0 degrees Celsius (melting point) to 100 degrees Celsius
(boiling point)(Won Park, Zipp, 2000). When the temperature varies in range it can
affect the enzyme either by affecting the constant of the reaction rate or by thermal
denturization of the particular enzyme (Won Park, Zipp, 2000). In this lab in
particular the enzyme, which was of concern, was pancreatic amylase. This type of
amylase comes from and is secreted from the pancreas to digest starch to break it
down into a more simple form called maltose. Maltose is a disaccharide composed
of two monosaccharides of glucose. The presence of glucose in our experiment
can be identified by Benedicts solution, which shows that the reducing of sugars
has taken place. If positive the solution will turn into a murky reddish color, where if
it is negative it will stay clear in our reaction. We can also test if no reduction of
sugars takes place by an iodine test. If starch is present the test will show a dark
black color (Ophardt, 2003). From our groups basic knowledge of how

Abstract
The concept of using Pervious Concrete Pavement have been developed many years
ago, but it has come to light recently, because of the increase of storm due to climate
change. Pervious Concrete pavement is a different type of concrete with high
porosity, which allows the water to infiltrate and reach the groundwater; thereby it
reduces the water runoff and filtrates it. This kind of permeable pavement, consist of
large aggregates and less or no fine aggregates. The pervious concrete pavement is
one of the important and sustainable construction for reducing the environmental
impacts and it is a good choice for earning LEED credits.

The Dangers Of Deer Overpopulation
In the early twentieth century, hunter funded state and federal conservation programs
rescued deer, elk, bears, turkeys and more from disappearing. Hunting benefits the
environment and the economy due to the risk of overpopulation of animals, the taxes
on hunting license and hunting equipment, jobs, along with the crops planted by
hunters feeds the animals. In the early twentieth century, there were approximately
500,000 white tailed deer inhabiting the United States. (Swihart) Since then, several
studies have been conducted proving that there are problems with deer
overpopulation. Research has displayed that there are three prominent units that the
causes come from; human overpopulation, elimination of their natural predators ,
along with lack of huntingto control the population. (Lane) Human overpopulation
has affected the deer population due to the fact that as the human population has
increased the need for homes, food and water supply, as well as other extra things
such as malls, highways and much more. The need for those has resulted in humans
cutting down trees and destroying the habitats of the deer which has lead to the
population moving to other areas and causing disease because the population is to
high none area. The eradication of their natural predators is the result of removing the
deers natural predators; this would result in the deer overpopulating. The lack of
hunting to control the population would lead to an increase in the population in urban

Differences Of Memory And The Past
Memory and the Past Do you know that Rebecca was the best seller novel sold
between 1938 and 1965? The novel was written by Daphne du Maurier in 1938.
The story is a mixture of love and hate for the primary characters in Rebecca novel.
It begins when a young, poor woman who works with Ms. Van Hopper meets
Maxim de Winter. Then the young women, narrator, feels in love with Maxim de
Winter and decide to get married to go with him to Manderley. After that she meets
Mrs. Danvers and the narrator feels uncomfortable because she seems like a devil
woman. The narrator feels deeply frustrate and upset because she thinks Maxim
loves Rebecca crazily. Then she founds the secret that Maxim does not love
Rebecca, so she becomes better and gets confidence again. Furthermore Maxim
meets Dr. Baker and he tells him that Rebecca is not pregnant, but she has had a
cancer. In the end, Maxim returns back to Manderley and sees... Show more content

The first point of difference is Maxim De Winter never considering suicide. In the
novel, the action of suicide does not happen and is transformed to the narrator first
time meet Maxim at the hotel restaurant. On the other hand, in the film Maxim is
standing at the edge of a cliff want to jump off. Then the narrator prevents and
stops him. The second point of difference is Rebecca s death is much more graphic
in the novel. In the novel Maxim killed her by shots with a pistol and her blood is
everywhere. However, in the film he strikes her and she falls down into a sharp
thing in the cottage. My final point of difference is Mrs. Danvers fate is left
ambiguous. In the novel Mrs. Danvers takes her possessions and left Manderley
since nobody had seen her when she leaves. Maxim expects that she played a role in
burning Manderley. But in the film shows that Mrs. Danvers in Rebecca s bedroom,
looking out of the window as the house burns around her. These are my three
differences between the novel and

Prince Caspi Comparison Between The Movie And The
Book
Introduction: Everyone knows that when a book becomes a movie, it goes
through a set of changes for the movie to become more exciting for the audience.
When Prince Caspian came out in 2008 a lot of fans started talking about it, their
reactions were most of all pleasant. While both the movie and the book are about
Prince Caspian and his journey in taking his respected throne, the movie was more
concerned over giving the story a more thrilling version, whilst the book explains a
precise story with details. First paragraph: plot There are a lot of different things
between the movie and book, like appearance. Trumpkin has a red beard in the book,
but it is blond in the movie ...whiskers fo red hair left little of his face to be seen

Superior Temporal Gyrus Research Paper
It s hard to understand how people can say dance is easy when it s so complex to
be thinking about every single part of your body at the same time making sure it s in
perfect position from one movement to the next throughout a whole routine and even
before that during the hour long practices for months. The body endures too much
with bumps and bruises, stretching and soreness, and pops and cracks but that s only
the physical aspect of what a dancer has to go through. The mind is worked and
conditioned along the journey to improve what you see externally. The brain
undergoes critical thinking of the song playing, beats, timing, when and how to move
certain body parts until the end of every performance.
The Superior temporal Gyrus is responsible for processing sounds with the primary
auditory cortex. Some areas of the superior temporal gyrus are specialized for
processing combination of frequencies while other areas are specialized for
processing changes in amplitude or frequency. This contributes to hearing rhythm

What Does The Lion King Mean
The Lion King when we say the phrase old but gold we are talking about the really
old things but we can t forget it at all because it affected us and became a part of
our like and if we are talking about this phrase i guess The Lion King deserves the
phrase with no doubt.
I love animation movies and this is the closest movie to my heart and that s for
many people too so if we talk about it we have to mention very important things
about it like it has one 2 oscars , both of them for best music, one for original song
and the other for original score byt of course the movie didn t win only the two
oscars but it won another 27 wins and 25 other nominations. i guess anyone when he
loves something he enjoys talking about it and know more information

Divergent Reflection
Divergent is a great coming of age novel because the protagonist undergoes a
transformative change of character. In Divergent the main character Beatrice,
whose name means voyageur, goes on a journey that changes not only her name,
but her social standing, physical and psychological well being as well. The story
begins with Beatrice being a member of the Abnegation faction. The Abnegation
faction values selflessness above all other virtues, and Beatrice has been raised to
put others before herself. Although her faction is a tight knit community brought
together by their humanitarian ways, she is very introverted and withdrawn.
When she looks at the Abnegation lifestyle as an outsider, [she] thinks it s
beautiful. It s only when [she tries] to live it [herself] that [she has] trouble. It
never feels genuine (Roth 36). She doesn t feel she belongs there and feels guilty
for having selfish tendencies. When Tris chooses to switch from Abnegation to
Dauntless, she begins to become more social. She becomes friends with Christina,
another initiate, and states that she has not really had a friend before, period. It s
impossible to have real friendship when no one feels like they can accept help or
even talk about themselves. That won t happen here. I already know more about
Christina than I ever knew about Susan, and it s only been two days ( ). She is
starting to step outside of her comfort zone and is making more connections with the
new people she encounters than people

Vault Dwellers Research Paper
For anyone who is just joining the Fallout: Shelter party, it can be a little scary
looking at the sheer number of things you can do in the game. Have no fear! We ve
been playing the game for quite a while, and we ve got some some Fallout: Shelter
cheats, hints, tips and tricks to help you survive: 1. Preparation is Half the Battle
When those raiders and deathclaws come knocking at your vault s door, you want
to be ready. Give two of your very best weapons to dwellers closest to the vault
door and move them to the entrance as soon as you ve got visitors. You can also
just set two dwellers on guard duty, but they won t be doing anything else with their
time not a good idea. 2. Roam the Wasteland Sending your vault dwellers out to
explore the wasteland is one of the more productive things you can do in Fallout:
Shelter. The longer they are out there, the bigger chance they have of finding caps,
weapons, outfits and even lunchboxes! You should rotate your dwellers so there s
always at least one of them in the wasteland at any given time.... Show more content

As soon as you notice they re out of healing supplies, bring them back. Luckily,
nobody can attack them on the way home. 3. Build Your Base Efficiently Every
two or three connected rooms of the same type give you bonuses, so make sure
you build them next to each other whenever possible. Also, your power plants
should be spread out evenly throughout your base the farther a room is from a
power plant, the more power it needs to run. At the very beginning of the game,
consider extending your elevator down instead of building it left or right. It may
cost a little more, but the symmetry this gives to your base very much makes up for
it. 4. Keep Track of SPECIAL

should be spread out evenly throughout your base the farther a room is from a
power plant, the more power it needs to run. At the very beginning of the game,
consider extending your elevator down instead of building it left or right. It may

Mastubation Empowering Women
Masturbation Empowers Females Masturbation is defined as the sexual stimulation
of a person s genitals usually to the point of orgasm. Self masturbation is a common
form of autoeroticism. Masturbation with a partner (called mutual masturbation), is
also common. As it is defined, this act has varied social, physical, psychological and
religious implications. This essay will look at these and show that masturbationcan be
a way to empower girls and women. Masturbation is socially acceptable for boys and
men and encouraged as such, but the behavior is taboo for girls and women.

The corporate units make up less than 1% of the corporation, (Denny s, 1953, p. 2).
With the majority of the corporation made up of franchise owners it develops an in

consists in many of the restaurants that has become familiar is in consistency with
change. The general change from the corporate restaurants to franchise restaurants
is consistent but the operations that are held on a daily basis within the restaurants
vary from restaurant to restaurant. One of the main down falls in the units is the
fact that the franchise owners will solely look at their profit and loss statements.
They will be breathing right behind the unit if it is not making the bottom line a
profit, as long as the unit has a profit and survey scores are 75%, other issues are
invisible. This is a short term gain but a long term loss and a vulnerability to threat
of their appropriate assets. One of the main issues is the company would rather hire a
weak physical security company. The franchises figure if they are making money

Compare And Contrast Sports And Tinkerbells
Many people have the perception that all athletic departments are making a profit,
when in reality the departments making a profit or breaking even are in the
minority and not the majority (Burnsed, 2015). The University of Never Land is a
Division II school in California that sponsors football and has an enrollment of
2,600 undergraduate students (Fried, G., DeSchriver, D, Mondello, M., 2013, p.
347). In order to compare how the Tinkerbells match up with other schools, you
must look at schools that are similar in size and sport offering. In Division II 14
private schools offer football, have between 2000 3000 undergraduate students similar

With 12 sports offered, the Tinkerbells are running at a $2,492,550 deficit, which is
way out of line. Out of the 14 other schools that are similar in size to UNL, eight
showed a profit and six broke even. No school that operates at such a high deficit
can survive for long; the athletic director has to step in and make cuts somewhere
as well as work to raise more money. Never Land seems to be spending too much
money on scholarships, with their average of $16,420.27 per athlete. If the school
lowered this average by $5,000 per athlete, that would be $1,480,000 added to the
revenue and lowering the deficit to $1,012,550. The Tinkerbells ranked 12th in
salaries and 13th in operations respectively so there is not really anything that the
athletic director can cut there and probably need to be increase to be more

Analysis Of Stanley Kubrick s The Shining
Stanley Kubrick is a man that has been respected in the cinema world for many
years. From films such as 2001 A Space Odyssey to Clock Work Orange he has
created a lot masterpieces that have survived the test of time. By far one of his
most popular works is The Shining which was released in 1980. Many film makers
use different tools to analyze films and figure out meanings behind them. Kubrick
was known for not explaining his work in any capacity. In order to figure out why
he made the films the way that he did film critics use mise en scenes. Through the
use of a mise en scene, the pantry scene is going to be analyzed to figure out the
deeper meaning. This essay is going to explore what a mise en scene is and why
the scene is used while also conducting a mise en scene to analyze a scene from all
aspects of cinematography. A mise en scene is tool some film critics use to
analyze a film more in depth then what they get at first glance. It analyzes a film
for all of its cinematographic elements, those include but are not limited to;
Lighting, Color, Angles, Costumes, Sound, and Framing. Traditionally, the mise en
scene is intended to only analyze what is seen in front of the lens and not how
things got to the camera, but the definition has since expanded and it is usually
acceptable to talk about every aspect of the film now (Elsaesser 80). Simply saying
mise en scene is a very broad term, because of this film critics have many different
strategies to help focus their viewing

History 302 Reflection
Theory and history I always thought never go together and when it was required for
me to take History 302 I was very confused why it was a theory class. At the start
and throughout the class it was a struggle to keep up what it meant to look at history
through a Marxist, cultural, or social lens and how that had anything to do with
theory. The class was a struggle but not impossible as each article or monograph that
were given out for readings provided insight of what these lens were meant to do.
Even though I have taken upper division classes at CSULA and studied
historiography, history302 provided me with a new perspective on how history
progressed through time. This course brought me a variety of different viewpoints

Marxist lens allowed me to change my grand narrative view of history and be able
to see the struggle between two parties and how that was rooted in many
monographs and lectures. When we were discussing about Marxist and Marxism I
connected more closely with that than the other lens that was taught later in the
year. I always saw the struggle between two parties as the root in every history and
monographs but always assumed that it was how history was researched and
taught. It slightly changed my perspective as I now know that my lens was not
grand narrative but more of a Marxist. This allowed my progression as a history
student to be able to look at monographs and be able to figure out the viewpoint the
historian is trying to establish to the readers. I had the most difficult time with
Foucault and his social theory as it was hard to separate what I believed was
economic when it was social. Eric Avila and his cultural theory was a bit easier for
me as I felt more comfortable with cultural theory compared to social theory. This
class provided me with different monographs based on each theory that has
strengthened my skills with writing and critical analyze of historical

were given out for readings provided insight of what these lens were meant to do.

Marxist lens allowed me to change my grand narrative view of history and be able
to see the struggle between two parties and how that was rooted in many
monographs and lectures. When we were discussing about Marxist and Marxism I
connected more closely with that than the other lens that was taught later in the
year. I always saw the struggle between two parties as the root in every history and
monographs but always assumed that it was how history was researched and
taught. It slightly changed my perspective as I now know that my lens was not
grand narrative but more of a Marxist. This allowed my progression as a history
student to be able to look at monographs and be able to figure out the viewpoint the
historian is trying to establish to the readers. I had the most difficult time with
Foucault and his social theory as it was hard to separate what I believed was
economic when it was social. Eric Avila and his cultural theory was a bit easier for
me as I felt more comfortable with cultural theory compared to social theory. This
class provided me with different monographs based on each theory that has
strengthened my skills with writing and critical analyze of historical
Persuasive Essay On Babysitting
In my opinion, babysitting is very beneficial to pretty much anyone. I recommend
that everyone try babysitting at least once in their lifetime, because of all the
rewards you can get from it. First, usually for babysitting, you are presented with
payment for your services. The more children you have and the longer you babysit
usually ties into the more money you will receive. Second, babysitting can teach
you valuable life lessons. It can prepare you for children of your own, get you ready
for a career in childcareor child development, and overall, it s loads of fun.
Now hold on, before you get too excited about babysitting, there are a few things
you may like to know. If not done correctly, babysitting can end in the injury of
yourself or the children you are taking care of. I recommend before babysitting any
children, you should take a babysitting class. These classes can usually be found at
your local hospital, at least that is where I took mine. The classes can benefit you in
many ways, for example, they may teach you how to change diapers, what to do if a
child gets hurt, how to perform CPR, and other important tools to prepare you for
babysitting. Being ready for anything is one of the most significant things I learned
from the babysitting class I attended.
I have babysat numerous times in my life, usually only babysitting two or three
children. However, there was one particular time that I was presented with the
opportunity to babysit eight children all in one

The Emperor Of All Maladies Essay
The Emperor of All Maladies (A biography of cancer), written by Siddhartha
Mukherjee
Introduction
The Emperor of All Maladies captured the whole essence of cancer. This book gave
a very good narrative of the historical record of cancer, the scientists and important
public figures who contributed to the fight against a disease that has so much caused
despair, pain, disfiguring of the body and worst of all, death. Cancer is seen as the
abnormal growth of cells. A normal cell becomes cancerous when there is a defect in
the regulation of its growth. Cancerous cells also tend to be elusive and resistant to
treatments. Numerous attempts have been channeled into demystifying the nature of
cancer. Some of these attempts proved abortive while a few served as a harbinger of
hope. Cancer have proved to be part of our genetic makeup, hence, total eradication of
it remains a future accomplishment.
The aim of this review is to give an account of the second leading cause of death in
the United States of America. The review described the origin of cancer, its nature,
prevention strategies and treatment. It also evaluated the concept used by the author.
Summary
The word cancer first appeared in medical literature in 400BC during the time of
Hippocrates as karkinos . Cancer was compared to a crab, which was denoted by its
hardened back, its painful sting and its mobility. Another Greek word described
cancer as onkos which represented the load born by cancer patients which is

Theme Of Friendship In The Killer Angels
The Killer Angels displays many of the important themes that occurred during the
Battle of Gettysburg, some of which including bravery, leadership, and, most of all,
friendship. This theme of friendship is represented in many of the characters of
this book, and some of these friendships were divided by ranks and, in the case of
Armistead and Hancock, by countries. But even with the fighting, true friendship is
able to come out of the mess. Two pairs of men that show this friendship are
Chamberlain and Kilrain along with Lee and Longstreet. Chamberlain and Kilrain

You could compare their friendship to that of comrades in school who would

take a defensive approach while Lee wanted to go on the offensive and Longstreet
wanted to court martial Stuart while Lee did not want to (pg. 189; Would you do

Imperialism In Avatar Analysis
Imperialism: the process of a strong country taking control of what they believe to
be an inferior territory or region. The similarities between the film, Avatar, and real
life imperialism is very apparent, and James Cameron, director, conveys the ideas
of imperialism through this. In Avatar, humans invade the planet, Pandora, to study
the wildlife, and plants for scientific research. However, this made no money for
business moguls like Parker Selfridge. Thus, he came to collect a resource called
unobtanium which is needed on earth. Furthermore, Jake Sully, a paralyzed, former
military personnel, travels to pandora in place of his twin brother, Tommy, who
recently was murdered. Originally, Sully was supposed to study the Na vi, natives,
of Pandora and learn their weaknesses as well as their lifestyle through a process
called linking. Although that was his main goal, Sully fell in love with being a Na vi
after meeting Neytiri, the Na vi princess, and assimilating to the culture of Pandora s
natives. Therefore, in the film, Avatar, James Cameronportrayed assimilation, and
racism similar to the European imperialism, however did a somewhat accurate job of
showing geopolitics as it occurred in Europe s colonies.
On the planet, Pandora, resources were stripped from the natives by the aliens
invading their home and lifestyle, exactly how the Belgians did in Congo. In Avatar,

Comparision of Genesis with Other Creation Mythologies
Essay
Comparison of Genesis with Other Creation Mythologies
We all know that our mothers and fathers gave us birth, and grandmothers and
grandfathers gave our parents birth. However, what about the beginning? What
does the beginning look like? Who created the sky, the earth, the mountains and
rivers, the plants, the animals, and the human beings? How was the world created?
What happened to the creator? These questions have puzzled and are asked by
every people. However, no one has yet found the answers, and I have heard people
saying that the creation of life is as impossible as the natural creation of an airplane
from a stack of waste. With the willingness of knowing the self, ancient people tried
to create mythological stories ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The only difference is that in this Indian story, not even God (or an equivalent form)
was there. Egyptians and Chinese imagined the same scene, the Nun and the chaotic
egg with a giant (Egyptian, Lin 1). In contrast with the creation out of nothing, the
indigenous Australian mythology tells us that the stars, the sky, the sun, the moon,
and the ancestors of all lives were already present in the beginning, but they are
sleeping under the crust of the earth in the water holes (Aborigine). Seneca people
believed that humans were living in the heaven originally, and there were only ocean
and ocean living lives on the earth (Creation). It is very interesting to recognize how
important water is to lives. Every account of creation that I have read included water
before anything else was present.
Whatever was present in the beginning had managed to create all the rest, and the
description of creators are of three categories, a single creator, multi creators, and no
creator. In Genesis, God is the single creator, and so is Brahman of India. The
difference is that the God is immortal, but Brahman is mortal (Genesis, Genesis
Project). In Chinese mythology, Pan Gu was the creator of everything but men, who
were created by Nu Wa, a goddess (Lin 1 5). Other examples of multi creators are in

The Brain Targeted Teaching Model
As I think about ways to move my students toward a growth mindset, the brain

model, I have realized students need a clear depiction of what activities and tasks

(2012) state that, both teachers and students need a deep understanding of the unit
goals as well as the connections within the unit to other concepts . When students and
teachers have a clear visual and step by step guide, they can be invested in each task
and make connections to the content. The concept map is a great tool to address this

my students next week, I will use the concept map to show students how certain
strategies help us to understand and work through our content focus of place value,
addition and subtraction. Thinking about my previous planning, there was not a clear
path in my learning design. On the first day of the unit I would tell students our over
arching goal but never really described how we would get there. Students were
receiving information daily and could never understand how each task was

Health Cruises, Inc.
Health Cruises, Inc. packages cruises to Caribbean islands such as Martinique and
the Bahamas. Like conventional cruises, the packages are designed to be fun. But
the cruise is structured to help participants become healthier by breaking old habits,
such as smoking and overeating. The Miami based firm was conceived by Susan
Isom, 30, a self styled innovator and entrepreneur. Prior to this venture, she had spent
several years in North Carolina promoting a behavior modification clinic.
Isom determined that many people were very concerned about developing good
health habits, yet they seemed unable to break away from their old habits because of
the pressures of day to day living. She reasoned that they might have a chance for
much greater success in a pleasant and socially supportive environment, where good
health habits were fostered. Accordingly, she established Health Cruises, Inc., hired
10 consulting psychologists and health specialists to develop a program, and
chartered a ship. DeForrest Young, a Miami management consultant, became the
chairperson of Health Cruises. Seven of Isom s business associates contributed an
initial capital outlay totaling more than $250,000. Of this amount, $65,000 went for
the initial advertising budget, $10,000 for other administrative expenses, and

American Stock Exchange Diversification Essay
In investing what is comfortable is rarely profitable, Robert Arnott, famous
entrepreneur. Robert Arnott meant that you have to step out of your comfort zone
and diversify our portfolio to succeed in the stock market, in other words
diversification. Diversification is one of the most important strategies to use in the
stock exchange, and since diversification is one of the key concepts you need to
understand and utilize in today s stock exchange, you will need to learn why you use
it, how I used it, and the disadvantages and the advantages of diversification.
Diversification is severely meaningful in the American Stock Exchange, and you
need to know what it is, why you use it, and how you use it. Diversification is a
management technique that you use to give your stock portfoliovariety. This
technique involves investing in different companies that don t go along in the same
category. By investing in different assets you are reducing your overall risk of
damaging your portfolio. By investing in a variety of industries the risk of financial
loss decreases. Instead of investing in multiple companies within the same industry
such as the medical industries, you would choose several different industries to
spread out the risk.You use diversification by choosing different stocks to buy that
don t fall into the same category. This strategy will help you when you... Show more

Analysis For Vitamin C
Analysis for Vitamin C
Introduction Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid C6H8O6, is important because
the body uses it in order to grow and repair tissues.1 Humans are unable synthesize
vitamin C, therefore it is essential to consume the recommended daily amount around
60 mg/day.2 The goals of this lab were to determine the amount of vitamin C in a
sample of apple juice. Also, another objective was to gain experience with redox
reactions and titrations. A titration is a method of analysis that determines the precise
endpoint of a reaction and therefore the precise quantity of reactant in the titration
flask .3 Titrations are important because they provide accurate information on how to
find the unknown concentration of a solution. Consequently, it is crucial that titration
techniques are precise so the information is accurate. The information is calculated
using the chemical formula.
+I2 в†’+2 HI Ascorbic acid Dehydro L ascorbic acid
Experimental
The first step in calculating the amount, in mg, of vitamin C in the unknown
sample was determining the amount of iodine needed to react with the solution
using titration. Once the volume of iodine needed to react was found, the next
step was to determine the molarity of the Iodine. In order to do this, the moles of
ascorbic acid was needed. It was found by multiplying the mass of ascorbic acid used
by its molar mass. The moles of ascorbic acid is the same as the moles of Iodine
because of the one to one mole

Moralities In Heart Of Darkness
When the Bodies Hit the Floor In Joseph Conrad s Heart of Darkness and in Kazuo
Ishiguro s Never Let Me Go, bodies are the people who are being mistreated. In
Heart of Darkness, the native people in the Congo are just bodies instead of people
because Conrad is trying to show the horrors colonialism has on the English
people, and in Never Let Me Go, Ishiguro has the main characters be bodies to warn
readers about the future of biotechnology by expressing that people are people
instead of just replaceable bodies. Both works as a whole use bodies to show that a
person is only valued for their physical parts rather than for who they are inside. In
Heart of Darkness, Conrad uses the mistreatment of the natives and expresses how
the English only view them as bodies capable of doing work for them to show the
detrimental impact imperialism has on the British. Conrad reveals that the English
end up horrified by their own actions in the Congo because by going to the Congo,
men either die there or leave shattered. Many debate whether Conrad is moral or
immoral in Heart of Darkness because of how Conrad makes the English treat the
Congolese. In Michael Lackey s The Moral Conditions for Genocide in Joseph
Conrads Heart of Darkness, he explains that Conrad had to be controversial because
he would not have been able to get his point across as strongly if he was not
immoral. Lackey claims that Conrad was using his conscience and how there is a
gap between Conrad and his book. If

Was There Justice In Socrates Trial
Was There Justice in Socrates Trial?
The question of whether there was justice in Socrates trial is a question that relies on
the new democracy in Athens. Webster s dictionary defines justice as, the process or

his character and his morals to the bitter end. He makes claims of being a simple

†an Inspector Callsв Ђ™ by J. B. Priestley
An Inspector Calls by J. B. Priestley
In Act One of An Inspector Calls , how does J. B. Priestley use dramatic devices to
convey his concerns and ideas to members of the audience, as well as interest and
involve them in the play?
In Act One of An Inspector Calls , J. B. Priestley uses several different dramatic
techniques to voice his concerns, ideas and political message about socialism to the
members of the audience. He uses characters, lighting, sounds, props, dramatic irony
and juxtaposition to convey his ideas and the techniques used also create and
maintain suspense which cause the audience to become more interested and involved
in the play.

The lighting also reflects Priestley s stage direction and persona of the Inspector,
disconcerting habit of looking hard at the person he addresses before actually
speaking . This shows not only does the light expose them but so does the Inspector
and so he must know more than they think he does as he is hard and bright, just like
the light in his presence.
Priestley uses the Inspector as a mouth piece to convey his messages but he also
uses the doorbell too at the start of the scene. The use of the sharp doorbell ring is
an example of a dramatic device as it builds tension, because it interrupts Mr
Birling s pompous speech and so it is almost as if Priestley is speaking through the
doorbell. It is also quite witty that only a doorbell can shut Mr Birling up and so
the person who rang it must be a more important and powerful figure and so what
this person might have to say is important and not only do the Birlings have to listen
but every egotistical person of the time and the audience too. However just before
the bell rings Mr Birling is talking about how community is utter nonsense and how
a man has to mind his own business and look after himself and his own... . This is
the main point Priestley is trying to fight against as this was the common thought and
opinion on the class of 1912 and so he cuts Birling off at this moment to show

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Essay
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry potter and the prisoner of Azkaban is an excellent book. Out of ten stars I
would rate this one an eight because it was to short. Once you get into it and finish
it. It seems so short, because it is so interesting. Harry Potter and the prisoner of
Azkaban starts out with a bang. In the beginning Sirius black a Man accused of
thirteen murders in one night escapes from Azkaban.( A wizard prison guarded to
the tee by dementors, deadly spirits that feast on anything happy. Basically they suck
the life out of you slowly until you go mad and lose sanity). Harry runs away on the
same night and crosses the man without realizing it. Since Sirius is an ananamugus
he is able to turn into a giant black ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
They then tell Harry to be careful with his actions. Later on in the story Harry and
his friends get lead outside to a secret shack because of a screaming that they hear.
In the shack they confront Sirius the man accused of killing Harry s mom and dad
and they try to capture him. Sirius tries to explain to Harry and the gang the truth
but does not get through to them because of Harry s anger and rage. With a little
help from surprise visitors Harry realizes the truth and his judgment changes toward
Sirius. Sirius tells him he was tricked and that he was partly responsible for their
death. But he would do anything to change the past. He was then appointed Harry s
stepfather. After another scuffle Sirius is caught and taken up to Hogwarts dungeon
where he was to be executed by a dementors kiss (in which the soul is sucked out
through the mouth). Dumbledore knows the truth and helps Harry save Sirius. Sirius
leaves for a hiding place and their he resides until his death in the 5th book. The

would both support the Paris Agreement from last year. For different reason of

support nonetheless. Both ideals have changed over the years but their
fundamental philosophies were born hundreds of years ago by philosophical
thinkers such as John Locke and Thomas Hobbes. They birthed the ideals of liberal
and realistic thinking respectively. For simplicity sake, from this point forward the
liberal point of view will be referred to as John s perspective, in honor of John
Locke whilst the realist point of view will be referred to as Thomas s perspective,
in honor of Thomas Hobbes. December 12th, 2015 was a historic moment on a
global scale. That date marked the conclusion of the Paris climate agreement which
accumulated the approval of hundreds of countries including many major ones.
The main goal of this agreement was to drastically reduce carbon emissions and

Renewable Fuels And The Energy Issue
Investigating whether a renewable fuel produces the same level of energy as an
equivalent amount of nonrenewable fuel would be beneficial to help save Earth s
natural resources and is a very relevant and important science project. The purpose of
this project is to figure out which type of fuels is most efficient. In my science
project, I will be burning various types of renewable fuels and non renewable fuels
and comparing the duration that they burn and comparing the temperature that they
burn.
Finding the most effective fuel could solve a global issue and debate about which
is better to use. Biofuels refers to materials that are recently dead and can be used as
a gaseous fuel, a solid, or a liquid. Biofuels are also known as the nonrenewable fuels.
On the other hand, agro fuels are derived from specific crops and are also known as
the renewable fuels. In conclusion, I will be testing multiple types of fuels to
compare my own results on a global energy issue.
Introduction
If I burn fuels to compare renewable and non renewable fuels, which one will be
more efficient? That is the question I will be answering in my science project. It is
important to figure out our earths energy supplies and needs and how to get the most
efficient and renewable fuel. Throughout history, humans have tried to find available
energy sources. Fuels have been an important commodity to humans for many
reasons. Humans throughout history have needed fuels to convert to energy for

Biochemical Mechanisms of ACE Inhibitors
The renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) is a group of hormones that are
produced sequentially in order to regulate salt water homeostasis as well as blood
pressure.5 The first enzyme, renin, is produced by the juxtaglomerular cells of the
kidney when blood volume is low and is released into the bloodstream.3,5,6 Renin
then catalyzes the conversion of angiotensinogen to angiotensin I.3,5,6 Angiotensin
converting enzyme (ACE), which is produced in the lungs, subsequently converts
angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a more active enzyme.3,5,6 Angiotensin II has several
functions. The hormone s primary mechanism for increasing blood pressure is
through the stimulation of blood vessel constriction. Furthermore, angiotensin II
increases the contractility of the heart via sympathetic activation. It also stimulates
anti diuretic hormone (ADH) release, which increases water reabsorption at the
collecting ducts, resulting

How Did The Roman Economy Affect The Provinces
Roman Economy and the Provinces Roman provinces had several effects on the
Roman economy. The provinces allowed for regular imports of grains, trades of
exotic goods, monetary tributes, and importation of slaves. These factors helped
fuel and strength the Roman economy. Grain was an important part of everyday
life, and Rome relied heavily on the provinces to supply the needed amount of grain.
The need to secure grain providing provinces was one of many important factors that
would lead to the expansion and conquests of the Roman State. (UNRV., n.d.). One
of the many reasons for the Roman conquests in the first place was to secure grain
supplies. The provinces would supply grains to Rome at a lower price than Roman
grain,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Many of the imports that the provinces supplied were considered high grade. For
example, wine from Eygpt was considered to be the best, olive oil from southern
Spain was a luxury, and silk from India would have been an item only the rich
could afford (Cartwright, M., 2013, December 17). The provinces would also have
provided items such as spices, pottery, ivory, and terracotta. Importations of the
exotic items would have impacted the Roman economy by raising the values of
those items. Olive oil would have been more expensive because it would have a
higher value. Slaves and tributes benefited the Roman economy by allowing for
cheap labour and by providing money for the Roman treasury (Wasson, D., 2015,
November 29). Slavery impacted the Roman economy via cheap human labour
resources and slaves markets. Monterary tributes filled the Roman treasury, allowed
for Roman buildings, and pay for individuals holding public office. Conclusion; The
Roman economy was fueled by many factors, both foreign and domestic. It had
multiple avenues for income, from imports to exports, from taxes to tributes. There
was also many forms of labour available, allowing for competitiveness in the job
market. The economy of Rome had various factors impacting it, and each one needs
to be considered when trying to see how they collectively impacted
