Essay On Fair
Crafting an essay on the topic of a fair may initially seem like a straightforward task, but delving
into the intricacies of the subject reveals its multifaceted nature. The challenge lies not merely in
describing the vibrant sights, sounds, and smells that characterize a fair but in capturing the
essence of the experience and conveying it to the reader in a way that resonates.
To begin with, one must navigate the delicate balance between vivid description and thematic
depth. Describing the attractions, stalls, and lively atmosphere is essential, but without a deeper
exploration of the cultural, social, or emotional impact of a fair, the essay may risk becoming
superficial. Striking this balance requires careful consideration of the significance of fairs in
various contexts в Ђ“ be it historical, cultural, or personal.
Moreover, the challenge extends to maintaining coherence and avoiding clichГ©s. Fairs are often
associated with joy, excitement, and a sense of community. However, to stand out, an essay on
this topic must transcend the common tropes and offer a unique perspective. It demands
creativity in expression, an ability to evoke emotions, and a nuanced understanding of the
diverse facets that a fair can represent.
Another layer of complexity arises when attempting to address the broader implications of fairs.
One might explore how fairs serve as microcosms of society, reflecting societal values, economic
dynamics, and cultural diversity. Analyzing these aspects requires a keen observational eye and
the capacity to draw connections between seemingly disparate elements.
Additionally, the task involves capturing the transient nature of a fair в Ђ“ the fleeting moments
of joy, the ephemeral beauty, and the temporal connections forged among people. Balancing the
ephemeral nature of the fair with the permanence of the written word poses a unique challenge
to any essayist.
In conclusion, while the topic "Essay on Fair" may seem approachable at first glance, the
endeavor to create a compelling and insightful piece goes beyond mere description. It involves a
synthesis of sensory experiences, cultural understanding, and the ability to transcend clichГ©s to
offer a nuanced perspective. Writing such an essay requires not only linguistic prowess but also a
deep appreciation for the broader implications of fairs in our lives.
For assistance in tackling similar writing challenges or exploring a diverse range of topics, one

Reflection Of Divergent
Each faction serves a purpose in society. Amity are farmers and counselors. Erudite
are teachers and work in offices. Candor handles the law and Dauntless are in charge
of the city s security. Each faction has its personality. Abnegation is selfless, Candor
is honest, Erudite is intelligent, Amity is peaceful and Dauntless is brave. I do not
think these factions represent every basic personality type. I think Divergent should
create its own faction.
The reasoning behind the creation of the factions was to create peace and order
within the society. I do think the factions are working toward a better society and a
better world. The fact that everyone is loyal and true to their faction seems to work
for Tris s society. What does not work for Tris s society is that the Divergents have to
hide and are in danger.
I think the faction I would have been born into is Amity because they are peaceful
and hardworking. My family works hard to live a peaceful life. We are also kind
people. The faction I would select at the choosing ceremony would be Dauntless
because, like Tris, when I make this decision, I will think about myself and I think
I would want to learn how to be brave and courageous. Also, I would feel unprepared
and scared because this decision will determine how I will live the rest of my life.
Choices I ve made that have changed me are to have goals in life because it changes
perspective on a lot of things and it challenges and motivates me to achieve those
goals. Some

Lord of the Flies by William Golding and Rosseau
Golding and Rousseau brought two different ideas using Lord of the Flies. They
make you really think on what they are trying to prove. You can agree with either of
them but people have their own opinions. Golding and Rousseau disagreed with each
other s opinions on how human nature becomes evil. If I had to choose whose
opinion I agree with, then I would choose
Rousseau s.
Rousseau s beliefs regarding human nature were that people are not born evil. He
believes that people are good and act the way they want to. He does not believe
that anyone can never be evil without something causing them to be. He believes
that when someone is evil or makes bad decisions, it is because they are corrupted
by society. People in society makes someone desire something that us past the level
of good to meet their needs which is by something bad. Written by Rousseau, Let
us conclude that, being self sufficient and subject to so few passions, he could
have no feeling or knowledge but such as befitted his situation. I believe that his
statement is explaining that when someone desires something so bad, they would
do anything not even realizing what they may be doing is wrong which helps them
get what they want. It makes them think that it is okay. Rousseau claimed that
people who are born evil are ill or mental. Golding s beliefs on human nature was
mostly opposite of Rousseau s beliefs. Golding believed that everyone is born badly
and are naturally evil. He believed that people

The Book Summary In John Steinbeck s The Pearl
The book The Pearl takes place in a small fishing village in La Paz, Mexico. The
main characters are from an Indian tribe that live on the beach in brush houses, since
Spaniards have kicked them out of their homes. There is a poor fisherman named
Kino, his wife Juana, and their son Coyotito. One day Coyotito gets stung by a
scorpion, but the family cannot support the cost of the treatment, so they go and try
to find a pearlto then sell. When looking in the water, Kino finds a magnificent,
shiny, big, and beautiful pearl. However, when going to sell it Kino does not like
the prices the pearl buyers will buy it for, so he decides he will cross the sea and the
mountains to the Capital. I think what drives Kino through the book is a fear of the
amount of money he will earn, being cheated with the value of the pearl, and Juana
and Coyotito s safety from attackers/trackers. To begin, what drives Kino is fear of
not getting the correct amount of money he needs from the pearl to supply all the
things he desires. First of all, this is because Kino explains that the pearl is worth
more than what the pearl buyers are willing to pay for it. The first pearl buyer says, I
can give you, say, a thousand pesos. Kino s face grew dark and dangerous. It is worth
fifty thousand, he said (50). He later says he will go to the Capital and sell it there
instead, but I can tell Kino is worried of what is to come, and if he will get the
correct amount of money for the pearl. Following, Kino

Christine Mitchell s Essay When Life Is A Fate Worse
Than...
When Life is Worse than Death
In the essay, When Living is a Fate Worse Than Death, by Christine Mitchell, is
about a suffering baby named Charlotte. She was born with only enough brain cells
to breathe and fight off pain. Charlotte s parents were from Haiti and they wanted
Charlotte to survive. They believed if she received medical treatment in the United
States she would live. Charlotte could not live without machines keeping her alive
and holes drilled into her bones. In my opinion, Charlotte s death was inevitable.
Charlotte s health was rapidly declining. Mitchell wrote, The nurses and doctors
thought she should be allowed to die peacefully (480). They recommended that a do
not resuscitate order be put in Charlotte s chart. The new parents did not agree. They
believed righteously that the treatment in the United States would protect her and she
would live. Charlotte s parents were naГ Їve and made Charlotte suffer with agonizing
pain because of their decision. The doctors and nurses were right to want to insert a
do not resuscitate order in Charlotte s chart. In contrast, Charlotte bounced between
the hospital, home, the ER and pediatric nursing ... Show more content on

What they did was morally wrong but, they loved Charlotte and wanted her to
survive. In contrast, I would want my child to live also and if death was foreseeable
than I would not prolong the child s demise. The situation must have been utterly
difficult for her parents to manage. I can t imagine how the doctors felt only what
they had said. Her parents should have done what was righteous but, they were
blinded by faith, love, hope, and ambition. Charlotte s parents had great intentions.
Mitchell focused on moral and ethical issues that are not often talked about. This was
a very tough situation and outcome for every person

Other People s Children By Jonathan Kozol
Jonathan Kozol, in the chapter entitled Other People s Children, discusses and
justifies the kinds of limitations placed on children who must attend poorly funded,
educationally inferior school. Kozol argues that children in the inner city schools
are not fit to go to college and that they should be trained in schools for the jobs they
will eventually hold, even though these jobs are less prestigious, lowest level jobs in
society. Kozol s argumentis based on the fact that students from the inner city or
rather from the societies that do not have enough job opportunities are not supposed
to learn much because their society cannot accommodate most of the courses that
are often found in the urban settings. For example, there is a point where Kozol
cites one of the businessman s statement which says, It doesn t make sense to offer
something that most of these urban kids will never use. The businessman continues
to argue, no one expects these ghetto kids to go to college. Most of them are lucky
if they are literate. If we can teach some useful skills, get them to stay in schooland
graduate, and maybe into jobs, we re giving them the most that they can hope for
(Kozol 376). This statement clearly indicate that the society should accept the
inequalities and exercise the same inequalities even in education.
Despite the fact that Kozol could be right in some ways, this paper will argue that
Kozol s arguments are baseless, biased and that they should not be applied. In other

Argumentative Essay On RAW
I haven t watched a full episode of RAW in over three months. I catch up by way
of clips on Twitter, and I skim through Hulu s already abridged version. I spend
most of my time perusing the promos, the skits, and whatever vignettes there may
be. I cram the broad strokes of the larger narratives so I can pass whatever WWE
quiz comes my way. With SmackDown included, I ve condensed my WWE
viewership into about thirty minutes a week. And if there s a pay per view, then that
duration increases. The result is that I m a much happier human being, and I m a lot
easier to be around. I don t obsess about booking decisions. I don t bicker with
anyone online. I don t care about anyone s criticism of my criticisms. The imagined
judgments of some phantom... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
For some, that degree of immersion will always work. And the fact that people can
do that regardless of whether they should or not is a part of pro wrestling s appeal.
I understand and respect that devotion, even if it gives me pause at the same time.
But extremes aren t as useful in the long term. That degree of constant engagement
weighs on all human minds. It affects one s ability to calmly and coherently
witness what they re experiencing. In any diehard environment, criticism becomes
unreliable because critical thinking doesn t exist. This problem is why I ve found
stepping away from watching and critiquing RAW so useful. When I turned RAW
on last night before bed, I saw aspects of the show that I d always criticized in a
new light. My general perspective hadn t changed, of course. I didn t all the
sudden enjoy segments I used to hate and hate the ones I used to enjoy. But I could
process the information in a more coherent way. In the past, I ve been relentless in
my disdain for backstage segments. I ve been lamenting their existence since before
I had this blog or my podcast. I ve likened them to the visual version of a cheap pop
and screamed that they have no place on

Socrates Apology
The Apology epitomizes Socrates acuities in a trial in 399 BC. Plato incorporates the
word apologia to illustrate the view, life, and events of the character Socrates. The
publication provides a chronological explanation of the life of Socrates in the
following ways. First, Socrates acknowledges that he almost became unaware of his
character while addressing the Athen s Populace. The prologue, therefore, creates the
direction and the tone of the ensuing dialogue. Thus, the introductory section enables
the audience to develop a sense of understanding the character, motives and the
perceptions regarding the false accusations of representing a sophist and physicalist
ideas. Therefore, Socratesspeaks the plain language to counter the false... Show more

Principally, the explanation of the Socrates and the defense against the false
accusations of youth incitement and the devaluation of the human worth introduces
the concept of the just and unjust city in the ancient Greek that aimed to heighten the
comprehension of the social order and equality. According to the presentation of the
speech, a just city accommodates the aspirations of every citizen and provides equal
opportunities for everyone to express their view and perform the different tasks.
Besides, a tolerant society according to the speech judges a person base on the actions
and the morals instead of the predetermined standards that sometimes are incoherent.
Hence, Plato s writings significantly enable the role allocation in the society
encompassing the ruling elite, the jurymen, and the subjects. According to the
perspective of Socrates, he helps the audience to understand his perceptions of life
and his roles in the society including enlightening the populace. Hence, the ruling elite
as extrapolated in the publication has the obligation of providing rational governance
structures and upholding the integrity. Plato s narrative also introduces the next
category of the Guardian. In this perspective, he compares Socrates to the horsefly
that keeps the animal active without harming the horse. Therefore, the guardians have
the responsibility of safeguarding the society from the internal and the external harms
and ensuring the sustainability of the future generations. Finally, Socrates
perspectives inform the public to ensure ethical decision making to ensure that the
working class or persons entrusted with leadership roles do not make quick decisions
that harm the critics. Thus, he suggests that the working class of the society should
ensure the provision of adequate and accessible commodities and services. Even
though the defense does not mention the roles, it is evident that Socrates aimed to

Of Mice and Men
How does Steinbeck present the characters of George and Lennie? During the
Great Depression of the 1930s when America was plunged into financial crisis
following the Wall Street Crash of October 1929, levels of unemployment and
poverty were at an all time high. In this ear life was a struggle and the mentality of
society became survival of the fittest, every man for himself. Migrant workers
toured the country in search of labour to provide money for food typically sent to
relatives living on the bread line elsewhere in America. These men lead lonely and
emotionless lives, which are reflected through Steinbeck s portrayal of his characters
in his famous, yet bleak, 1930s novella Of Mice and Men. In the novel, George and
Lennie s... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Evidentially, George does not believe the dream will ever become reality as he
rhythmically reels off the words to Lennie as a matter of habit rather than
optimism. That said, it is clear that although George does not believe the dream
will come true he is thankful to have Lennie by his side somebody to talk to that
gives a damn about us which perhaps implies that although Steinbeck presents the
pair as victims, he also presents them as lucky in the fact that they have each other
and care for each other enough to build a firm relationship. To Lennie the dream is
all about the rabbits he intends to keep and pet, rather than an engine of hope
which drives George to continue the struggle. Lennie excites in the idea that one
day he will own a rabbit hutch An have rabbits because he is unable to see further
than his own desires, however George dreams of simplicities such as how thick the
cream is on the milk implying that all he would like is a stable home. Regardless
of their differences in the importance of aspects included in the dream, their dream
bonds them together in a shared goal which is to get a stake so they can buy a
little house and a couple of acres. Many migrant workers shared in dreaming of a
better future but had nobody to share it with as everyman was for himself, making
George and Lennie s relationship a rare occurrence. Towards the end of the first
chapter,

Economic Policy Paper

The Right Policy for the Job
Beginning in the summer of 2005 the U.S. suffered inflationary mortgage crises
because low interest rates and adjustable rate mortgages (ARM) lead lenders to
entice many lower income people into buying homes they couldn t afford. An article
in the CQ Researcher stated more than 2 million borrowers lost their homes to
foreclosure (Mortgage). This is because they were unable to make the payments on
high interest subprime mortgages. Further this resulted in mortgage lenders, banks
and investors being left with bad loans to write off and eventually most needed a

Fiscal policy is something many are not aware of or do not fully understand,
however it s one of the major issues that affect all of us. Federal spending policies
affect social security, disability and unemployment aid. Tax policies can change your
income level and influence consumer purchase ability and choices. Determining a
fiscal policy plan is sometimes a long process, the president and the Congress have to
determine a budget and then figure out a level of spending and taxes for different
categories such as national defense, transportation, health, human services and more.
In order to control economic inflation and recession problems such as the recent
mortgage crisis discussed at the onset. An economic policy mix of expansion and
contraction methods is used to control aggregate supply and demand. Expansionary
fiscal policy is more effective in improving the real economy. Expansionary monetary
policy is better suited for controlling the financial economy. Fiscal policy can be

In Oneв Ђ™S Life Everyone Wants To Become A Leader In

In one s life everyone wants to become a leader in at least one activity. There is
some strange feeling of satisfaction that comes along with being the boss. During

Stephen Covey they continue to stress using effective communication and learning
so you can become a leader in your home, workplace, and community. They have
many ideas on how to help you with concept, but there are four specific ideas that I

This was an example on why I personally believe that self esteem plays a big role in
being effective, because this exact situation happened to me this year in my math
class. Therefore, that is why I completely agree with Downing about self esteem
and that it plays a big role in being effective. During On Course by Skip Downing
and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey they talk about
many different ways one can interact with other human beings. In my opinion, the
best way to communicate with other human being sis Covey s Six Paradigms of
Human Interactions (Covey 217). I believe if one uses the six paradigms it can
improve your leadership potential, and these concepts can shape you into a great
leader. The first paradigm is Win/Win (Covey 217). This is constantly seeking
mutual benefits in all human interactions (Covey 217). This can shape an
individual into a great leader, because you would never make any one mad, and
everyone would resultingly be happy. The second paradigm is Win/Lose (Covey
218). According to Covey, this is the authoritarian approach (Covey 218). To me
you need this to be a good leader. The next paradigm is Lose/Win (Covey 220). This
one is pretty much caving in and being a friend. This is a necessity when you become
a leader, because you do not want to be a mean boss or have your

2. Henry IV was King of France from 1589 to 1610 and King of Navarre from 1572
to 1610. He was the first monarch of the Bourbon branch of the Capetian dynasty
in France. As a Huguenot, Henry was involved in the Wars of Religion before
ascending the throne in 1589. Before his coronation as King of France at Chartres,
he changed his faith from Calvinism to Catholicism and, in 1598, he enacted the
Edict of Nantes, which guaranteed religious liberties to the Protestants, thereby
effectively ending the civil war. One of the most popular French kings, both
during and after his reign, Henry showed great care for the welfare of his subjects
and displayed an unusual religious tolerance for the time. By him granting
religious liberties to the Protestants he was helping establishing a modern state in
France. 3. Cardinal Richelieu was consecrated as a bishop in 1608, he later entered
politics, becoming a Secretary of State in 1616. Richelieu soon rose in both the
Catholic Church and the French government, becoming a Cardinal in 1622, and
King Louis XIII s chief minister in 1624. The Cardinal de Richelieu was often
known by the title of the King s Chief Minister or First Minister . As a result, he is
considered to be the world s first Prime Minister, in the modern sense of the term. He
sought to consolidate royal power and crush domestic factions. By restraining the
power of the nobility, he transformed France into a strong, centralized

Clinical Study On Prostate Health Assessment
4.0Clinical Section Prostate Health Assessment
Introduction: The Clinical MENU button brings up the methodology for recording
clinical history, Family History, current symptoms and signs. The International
Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is used and combined with a Quality of Life (QoL)
score allows graphical recording and an indication of when to consider urology
referral. Serial recording will be useful in following a patient s progress, either prior
to or post treatments.
4.1IPSS / QoL Score (Prostotism)
The International Prostate Symptom Score (I PSS) is based on the answers to seven
questions concerning urinary symptoms and one question concerning quality of life.
Each question concerning the urinary symptoms allows the patient to choose one out
of six answers indicating increasing severity of the particular symptom. The answers
are assigned points from 0 to 5. The total score can therefore range from 0 to 35
(asymptomatic to very symptomatic).
The questions refer to the following urinary symptoms:
QuestionSymptom
1Incomplete emptying
2Frequency
3Intermittency
4Urgency
5Weak Stream
6Straining
7Nocturia
Question eight refers to the patient s perceived quality of life.
The first seven questions of the I PSS are identical to the questions appearing on the
American Urological Association (AUA) Symptom Index which currently categorises
the symptoms as follows:
Mild (symptom score less than of equal to 7)
Moderate (symptom score range 8 19)

The Importance Of The Ancient Egyptian Pyramids In Giza
There is much debate on how the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids in Giza were built.
King Khufu s pyramid, from the Old Kingdom, stands at 146 meters high, has a
base of 230 meters, while using 2.4 million stone blocks; each block averaging
between 2.5 to 15 tons (Van Der Mieroop). These extreme numbers force researchers
to try and create hypotheses on how the Ancient Egyptians were able to construct
such colossal monuments. Although we have an idea of where and how the
Egyptians obtained the materials used for their creation, it is still unclear how they
were able to take stone blocks that weighted several tons so high up, have such
precision that not even a credit card could slip through the blocks, and was capable
of pointing the pyramids... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Bethany Simpson (Ask Rose how to Cite), it was said that through the examination
of the workers living area, it is known that the workers were fed quite well. They
were fed large quantities of high end meats like cattle. But more importantly, the
pyramid was constructed to be a cosmic engine for the pharaoh. The creation of a
pyramid represented the rule of universal order, which included the changing of days
and seasons, as we as the flooding of the Nile. The mechanics of the pyramid as a
cosmic engine depend largely on a term called Kheperu . This concept is used in
relation to a person and their distinct phases of life and death (cite Lehner). In death,
the pharaoh will experience transformations that include the Ka, the Ba, and the body
interacting. This leads to the final step in the transformation in which the pharaoh
becomes Akh, the spiritual state of an Egyptian. The pyramid was an essential
instrument that allowed these transformations to occur, and are better understood as
the meeting point in life and light with the darkness and death (cite Lehner). Along
with being a vessel for the transformation and revival of pharaohs into the afterlife
with the Gods, it was also an Icon. The pyramid was a giant symbol that at times is
regarded as just a hieroglyph. The pharaoh wanted to apply a personal nature, his
human characteristic to something nonhuman and everlasting so that he can live
forever in the eyes of everyone who sees his pyramid when

became the royal faith. The portuguese were sending over missionaries and teacher
and other people who can do work and for payment the portuguese were given
copper, ivory, and slaves. But affonso started to see problems because the
portuguese were more interested in getting slaves. So in 1512 afonso requested firm
royal control over the trade with portuguese. Afonso was involved in the slave trade
but he did dislike the colonization of the Africans, but he didnt object to it. In afonso
time being king he had made an agreement with portugal The Regimento, 1512 due
to extended relations . The agreement allowed portuguese rights to the subjects and
the kongo would provide slaves for trade. The king at the time of portugal ordered
the portuguese in kongo to have the kingdom adopt portuguese law and etiquette but

The Genesis Of American Baptists
The Genesis of American Baptists
The American Baptist Movement came from England in the 17th century, after the
Baptists were persecuted by the Church of England for being dissenting separatists. In
the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, new members were converted and
congregations were formed by Baptist preachers who traveled throughout the South,
in particular during the eras of the First and Second Great Awakenings.
The Triennial Convention
The Triennial Convention was formed in 1814, when American Baptists unified
nationally. The convention met every three years and was based in Philadelphia. The
Home Mission Society was started in 1832. It was affiliated with the Triennial
Convention, and existed to support missions in the United States, particularly in the
frontier territories. In spite of this unity in mission among American Baptists, by the
middle of the nineteenth century, there were several social, cultural, economic, and
political differences becoming apparent among Northern business, Western farmers,
and Southern planters.
Conflict and Separation
In 1844, there was great division over the issue of slavery. The Baptists of the South
felt that the Northerners position that slaveholding brethren were less than followers

Science Fiction And Cultural Values
Science Fiction and Cultural Values
Introduction
Science fiction is a genre of creative writing which has stories that are connected with
the future of technology and science. This style of writing is often seen in graphic
novels, fiction novels, television series, and in film. Some common portrayals of
science fiction include time and space travel. At times, these stories feature life that is
found on other planets apart from Earth. The tales are usually based on new
technologies, different social systems and scientific discoveries. Science fiction may
seem to be a fantasy because the technologies involved sometimes look unrealistic.
However, that fantasy becomes a reality when it changes how people view their daily
lives.
History of science fiction
Philosophical stories and texts from centuries ago have some imagery that relates
back to science fiction. The stories imply that, even then, they predicted advances
in science in future years to come. Religious poems and stories that talk about the
creation or demolition of the universe have some elements that are like the
elements of Science fiction. The powers used by science fiction can be associated
with those of the gods during and before biblical times. An example of an old
philosophical text which can be associated with science fiction is Plato s The
Republic . The topics and adventures discussed in the text are viewed as a fantasy
and do not seem practical in real life because they cannot be experienced using normal

The On The Assault Of The Hasso Von Manteuffel s 5th
Panzar
The initial assault began on 16 December 1944, at approximately 0530; Germany
began the counteroffensive with a 90 minute artillery barrage using approximately
1,600 artillery pieces across an 80 mile front vital to the Allied forces. The Allied
forces were caught by surprise and unable to leverage their air assets, due to heavy
snow storms in the Ardennes. The storm front effectively hindered both forces. On
the northern shoulder, Germany s 6th Panzar division pushed forward attacking
American positions on Elsenborn Ridge and Losheim Gap. Deitrichs men were
committed to battle, having met heavy resistance from the United States 2nd and
99th Infantry Divisions. The smaller inferior Allied force was able to hold up the
German advance,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
On 23 December the Allied forces conducted aerial attacks on German supply hubs
/routes, devastating the German offensive. German Commanders asked for
permission to retreat on December 24th, which was denied by Hitler. Following
this, Patton s men broke through Bastogne on December 26th. General Patton s
3rd Army moved north through Bastogne and was headed toward Houffalize, in an
attempt to trap the Germans, as Montgomery was pushing south to Houffalize.
Delays from Montgomery s Army allowed the Germans to escape, leaving behind
their equipment and vehicles. The United States 1st and 3rd Armies were able to
link up near Houffalize, Belgium on 16 December 1944. German offensive
operations ceased by January 25, 1945. (Ent, 2005) Result The Germans were able
to produce a bulge in the Allied western front line, however this was short lived due
to overwhelming Allied power. The Germans were successfully pushed back
behind the original lines, in turn effectively ending the Battle of the Bulge by 28
January 1945. The Allies suffered 76,890 casualties (with 8,607 Americans killed)
and lost 733 tanks; the German forces suffered an estimated 68,000 casualties with
12,000 killed, and lost about the same number of tanks. (Chen, n.d., para. 26) While
the casualties were close to even The Germans had lost a higher percent of men and
equipment. I was going to be nearly impossible for the Germans to rebound at this
stage

The Decline Of Strikes And Industrial Action
What factors explain the overall decline in strikes and industrial action since the
1980s, and what is the likelihood of an increase in industrial conflict in the future?
Introduction Strikes are rightly acknowledged as a form of industrial conflict.
Many works including OECD (2007), Hyman (1972) and McIlroy (1995) have
described strikes as temporary termination of a workplace or work stoppage due to
the initiatives taken by a group of workers or trade unions to impose or repel
demands and direct grievances or to encourage other workers or groups of workers
in their struggle of resisting demands or complaints. As pointed out by Edwards
(1992), industrial conflicts seem to be inevitable in any organisation due to the
prevalence of tensions between the workers and management. If they are not
managed effectively, they result in an outburst which often take the form of strikes.
Prior to 1980 s there were occurrence of many strikes. However, since 1980 s the
strike rate has reduced in each following decade. The reduction in the occurrence of
strikes has been the highest in UK, Spain, Canada, Italy, Finland, Ireland and
Australia (among OECD countries). One reason explaining this decline has been the
change in the employment structure of the industry which has gradually moved from
manufacturing to the services sector. However, according to Beardsmore (2006),
over the past few decades there has been a decline in the strike rate in both the
manufacturing and services

Celiac Disease
Celiac disease: an often missed diagnosis Commonly referred to as wheat allergy,
celiac disease is not an allergic disorder; rather it is actually intolerance to gluten, a
protein in wheat. It is also known as celiac sprue, nontropical sprue and gluten
sensitive enteropathy. Celiac disease occurs in people who have a genetic
susceptibility. It was considered a north European disease initially but now it has a
high prevalence in all the continents. In north India it affects 1 in 200 300
individuals, similar to its prevalence in Europe. Celiac disease is primarily a digestive
condition triggered by consumption of the protein gluten resulting in an immune
reaction in the small intestine, which leads to inability to absorb certain... Show more

In fact half of the adult celiac disease patients coming to PGI do not have any
abdominal symptoms. The most common non gastrointestinal symptom is iron
deficiency anemia followed by weight loss. Celiac disease symptoms can also
mimic those of other conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome, gastric ulcers,
parasite infections, skin disorders or bone disease. Celiac disease may also present
itself in less obvious ways, including irritability or depression, joint pains, muscle
cramps, mouth sores, dental and bone disorders (such as osteoporosis), and
tingling in the legs and feet (neuropathy). When to seek medical advice If you
notice or experience any of the signs or symptoms common to celiac disease, see
your doctor. If someone in your family is known to have celiac disease, you may
need to be tested. Starting the process will help you avoid complications associated
with the disease, such as osteoporosis, anemia and certain types of cancer. Seek
medical attention for a child who is pale, irritable, fails to grow and who has foul
smelling stools. Many other conditions can cause these same signs and symptoms, so
it s important to talk to your doctor before trying a gluten free diet. Left untreated,
celiac disease can lead to several complications: п‚§Malnutrition. Untreated celiac
disease can lead to malabsorption, which in turn can lead to malnutrition. This occurs
in spite of what appears to be an adequate diet. Because vital nutrients are lost in

The Importance Of Classical Literature
Classical Literature A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to
say. Italo Calvino
Why should people read classical literature? Classics are relevant to today s time
because they teach us the value, they help us understand history and culture, you can
read and re read them, and they help us understand how we got our literature today.
Classics are also entertaining and will continue to be read throughout generations.
We should read classical literature because classical literature has value. The value
is important to our culture because it shows how we got to our literature today and
shows how far we have come. The story Orpheus and Eurydice is a good example
of value and morality because Orpheus tries to get his wife back and fails. The
Fates tell Orpheus not to look back at her until they are back home. Orpheus
looked back at Eurydice and when he looked back at her he lost her for good. This
story is a good example of value because it teaches us value and how we should
appreciate what we have and appreciate the second chances we get in life. The
history and culture behind classical literature is our history because it helped us get
to where we are now and shows how we wrote and told our stories. The history in
classical literature can be true or sometimes true. With myths, some of the stories
have some truth in them or the story really happened but if that is the case, most of
the time the storyteller makes assumptions about the event. In the

Flannery O Connor s short stories A good man is hard to find and Revelation share
many similarities. While A good man is hard to find is about a family that goes on a
vacation that ultimately results in all of their deaths. Revelation is about a woman
who is very judgmental and looks down on people. In the end both characters have
revelations that contrast with who they are and how they portray themselves to the
world. The protagonist in Revelationis Mrs. Turpin, and she depicts herself as a

Turpin s standards in her eyes. The readers can see through Mrs. Turpins thoughts
and views how brutal and harsh she really is for example, when Mrs. Turpin is
talking to herself and asks herself a question If Jesus had said to her before he
made her, there s only two places available for you. You can either be a nigger or
white trash, what would she have said? Mrs. Turpin answers with All right, make me
a nigger then but that don t mean a trashy one. And he would have made her a neat
clean respectable Negro woman, herself but black. (416). The grandmother in A good
man is hard to find is very similar to Mrs. Turpin as well. The grandmother claims
to be a lady, but she is really a manipulator, she wants everything to go her way. For
example when she brings the cat along for the vacation trip despite Bailey not
wanting to bring it along. Also when the grandmother manipulates the kids into
wanting to go see a plantation by saying that it has a secret panel. There was a secret
panel in this house , she said craftily, not telling the truth but wishing that she were.
(408) The horrible thought she had had before the accident was that the house she
had remembered so vividly was not in Georgia but in Tennessee. (409). The
grandmother remembers that the house was somewhere else however; she decided
that she would not mention it (410). Both characters in the end have revelations that
are complete opposite of who they are. In Revelation

Adolf Hitler Research Paper
In 1939, Germany had invaded Czechoslovakia and was planning on invading
Poland. Hitler knew that invading Poland meant war with Britain, France, and the
Soviet Union, which would have been difficult to win. To avoid this, Germany and
the Soviet Union signed a non aggression pact agreeing to not take any military
action against each other. A secret clause in the Nazi Soviet pact of August 1939
provided for the patrician of Polandbetween Germanyand the Soviet Union
(Merridale 72). Germany and the Soviet Union became allies, deciding to split up
their shares of Poland. However, some people, like cartoonist Daniel Brustlein, did
not believe that this relationship would last. The purpose of this cartoon is to act as a
warning for Germany,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Hitler s features are drawn as innocent and almost childlike. This characteristic
speaks to the date of the cartoon. In 1939 Hitler was not seen as a large threat. To
some, he was just a crazy politician. By drawing Hitler in a cute way, Alain can
insult Hitler. Also, Alain might be commenting on Hitler s childlike behavior;
Hitler does what he wants without thinking about the consequences. In contrast to
the innocent Hitler, Stalin is very stern. His hand is in a military pose and he
almost looks angry. In the cartoon, Stalin might be angry that Germany betrayed
him by throwing the boomerang. However, in context of the year Germany had
not yet done anything to upset the Soviet Union so this is just a prediction of the
future. Hitler, hit on the head by the boomerang, was not expecting it to come
back. He underestimated the strength of the Soviet Union and it came back to hurt
him. A flaw of Hitler s later in the war was that he misjudged the Soviet Union.
Overy says that Hitler believed nothing less than that the Soviet Union could be
defeated in four months (Overy 13). Hitler s belief that the Soviet Union was weak is
a flaw that can be seen even before he decided to invade

Justice, And Nozick s Utilitarian Theory Of Justice
Justice means giving each person what he or she deserves. Justice and fairness are
closely related terms that are often today used interchangeably (Manuel Velasquez,
2014). Similarly distributive justice is concerned with the fair allocation of resources
among different members of the community. Fair allocation normally takes into
account the total amount of goods to be dispersed, the dispensing procedure, and the
pattern of dispersion that results (Maiese, 2013). This essay is based on distributive
justiceor fair distribution of social goods in health care setting. Justice is the most
important principle in public health ethics. The main aim of this essay is to recognize
the theories in distributive justice... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Here I will be discussing about the john Rawls Justice as Fairness, Mill s utilitarian
theory of justice and Nozick s Libertarian Theory of Justice.
Rawls Justice as Fairness
According to this theory everyone is to have an equal right to the most extensive
total system of equal basic liberties compatible with a similar system of liberty for
all (Gray, 2011). In Rawls general concepts it says that all social primary goods
liberty and opportunity, income and wealth, and the bases of self respect are to be
distributed equally unless an unequal distribution of any or all of these goods is to
the advantage of the least favored (Rawls, 1971). Rawls has two principles in
justice as fairness. First principle is liberty and second one is wealth. In principle
of liberty everyone is to have equal right to the most extensive total system of equal
basic liberties compatible with a similar system of liberty for all. In wealth principle
Social and economic inequalities are to be arranged so that they both are:
At the greatest benefit of the least advantaged, consistent with the just savings

William Shakespeare s Romeo And Juliet Essay
There is no questioning that William Shakespeare s plays are influential. They
were written centuries ago, yet are still enjoyed by people to this day, and hold a
place in modern high school and university curricula. However, as with many other
literary works, some of Shakespeare s plays are received better by audiences and
readers than others. Romeo and Juliet, the tragic story of two star cross d lovers
(Shakespeare, 5) who pursue their love for each other despite the feud between
their families, is considered by some to be one of Shakespeare s greatest works;
however, the question of whether it is his greatest tragedy remains under dispute.
This play is different from other Shakespearean tragedies in that in several ways, it
does not fit the traditional characteristics or structure of a tragic work. It can be
feasibly argued that this, as well as the fact that the main characters are much
younger than those in Shakespeare s other plays, takes away from the tragic
element. Through analyzing Romeo and Juliet, one is able to reasonably conclude
that while it is classified as a tragedy, it is not a very effective one. One of the
unique things about Romeo and Juliet is that the structure of the first three acts
more closely follows that of a comedy, i.e. a non tragic play, than that of a tragedy.
In a comedy, the protagonist must overcome obstacles in order to solve a problem,
usually with the help of another character. This is seen quite clearly in acts one to
three: Romeo

Credit Card Debt Among College Students Essay
The explosion of credit card use among college students has woven itself into the
fabric of campus life ultimately impacting how students interact and begin in the
financial industry. As students gain more freedom away from home they often begin
to experience various social changes. One area in particular that is cause for concern
is the number of students incurring credit carddebt. Due to growth in credit card
usage and the rise of debt, the ideas discussed in this paper represent the growing
need to evaluate credit card company solicitation efforts aimed at students and how to
begin negotiation to amend these practices. Through mediation, the focus will be to
investigate if college students receive ample educationon credit and... Show more

The later idea suggests that one of the major conflicts associated with credit card
debt among college students is because of the relaxed view taken on credit. To
illustrate, 83% of college undergraduate students in the US have credit cards...
(Wang Xiao, 2009) exemplifying the potential danger of accruing debt by signing up
for so manu credit cards. Furthermore, with increased costs of education, universities
find it is acceptable for students to pay for tuition by credit card. In certain
circumstances, credit cards have become a quick remedy and students are forced to
supplement income to pay for education and other necessities and as a result
perpetuate the debt issue.
Since credit cards have become easily accessible on campuses, students can find
themselves in financial distress very quickly. The conflict with credit card use is that
it has created a distinct way to generate instant gratification among consumers,
specifically young borrowers. Due to this point, students have become an easy target
for credit card offers. With heavy solicitation from financial institutions and retailers,
students are given quick access to funds with little education of how interest accrues,
fees associated with cards, and the lasting effects on their overall credit. Since
solicitation is used on college

Biochemical Test E. Coli
I had discovered that my unknown microbe is Escherichia coli (E. coli). After
performing various biochemical tests E. coli seemed to fit my microbe the best with
only having two misguided biochemical tests that had not fit the data. The tests that
were performed included the MRVP test, catalase test, oxidase test, nitrate test, citrate
slant test, phenylalanine deaminase test, urea test, SIM test, TSI test, and starch test.
These tests helped me discover my microbe along with a few other tests. The first
biochemical test I performed was the MRVP test. This test is known as the Methyl
Red and Vages Proskauer test. It is a broth containing peptone, buffers, and dextrose
or glucose. My microbe was Methyl Red positive and Vages Proskauer negative....

This test is used to see if the microbe can hydrolyzes urea to ammonia and carbon
dioxide. When there is an alkaline environment the color turns to pink. Turning pink
would present a positive result. The SIM test tested negative for sulfur reduction
presenting no sign of the color black, positive for indole production presenting the
color red, and positive for motility. Sulfur reduction is a test used to differentiate
enteric bacteria. The indole production test differentiates Enterobacteriaceae. For
testing a wide variety of organisms the motility test is used. The TSI test stands for
triple sugar iron agar, my results had turned out positive presenting a yellow slant
and yellow butt (acid/acid). The microbe was a lactose fermenter. The test is used
to see the fermentation of lactose, glucose, and sucrose. The last test I had done
was the starch hydrolysis. I had gotten a positive result when the result should have
been negative. A halo may or may not be seen with the presents of iodine. When a
halo is present it is positive, starch is present. When a halo is not present it means
there is an absence of starch. When the media is positive it means that extracellular
enzymes are capable of diffusing into the medium. E. coli is supposed to be starch

Cause And Effect Of Tsunamis
On December 26th, 2004, one of the largest megathrust earthquakes ever recorded
struck the coast of Indonesia. The energy released was equivalent to the eruption of
23,000 Hiroshima sized atomic bombs (Pickrell, 2005). Dangerous waves, known as
tsunamis, began radiating from the epicenter crashing into the shores of 11 Indian
Ocean countries. Destruction occurred reaching countries in Africa to Thailand (Risk
Management Solutions, 2006). Thailand was hit by the tsunamiapproximately 90
minutes after the initial earthquake, killing hundreds of thousands of people (Lusted,
2008). The waves of the tsunami reached heights of four to 39 meters, travelling up
to five kilometers inland. Due to the flat topography of the Banda Aceh region, wave
height was approximately four to eight meters, whereas height in the hilly areas was
larger (Cluff, 2008).
Causes
Tsunamis
A tsunami is a series of waves that are produced by large oceanic earthquakes or
volcanic eruptions at tectonic plate boundaries. These waves may reach 100 feet
and cause extensive damage in areas that are densely populated, especially if
proper warning systems are lacking. Reaching speeds of up to 500 miles/hour, the
waves can travel across the Pacific Ocean in less than 24 hours (Ramalanjaona,
2011). Tsunamis that are caused by a magnitude 7.5 7.8 earthquake are relatively
local in nature and will not damage regions that are distant. However, secondary
effects can still cause trigger events such as submarine

Descriptive Essay About The Zoo
The sun was shining, the sky was spotted with clouds, and the wind was whistling
as it passed through the trees. Overall, it was the perfect day to visit the zoo.
Smiling, happy children bounded beside me as I walked underneath the large,
blue and yellow sign announcing The Colorado Zoo. As I walked onto the
sidewalk, I looked out over the habitats. The big, colorful signs advertising the
exotic animals brought from all over the world! Animals that were taken from their
home, taken from their habitats, and taken to a world where they are put on
display. Animals who are forced to live out their lives in zoos in unhealthy,
degrading, and devastating ways. The first exhibit I encountered was the black
bears. Their thick, glistening fur was reflecting the light on and off as they paced
the entire patch of land. Walking back and forth, the bears footprints could be seen in
the dirt as they slowly wove a path into the land. One bearwas just lying around in
the blistering sun barely moving. No trees, no bushes, and no pools of water to
allow the animals to cool down. The more I looked, the more I noticed how barren
the display was. I couldn t stop thinking how sad the entire place looked when I
compared it to the bears natural habitat, how artificial the habitat probably seemed
to the bears, and how in most cases this life was the only one the bears would ever
know. There was just a round prison with limited space, in which three enormous
bears lived. Most bears in the wild are solitary creatures who only come together
for mating season, but here they were forced to spend all day with each other.
Forcing myself to continue, I made my way to the the tigers. Animals are meant to
roam miles and miles every day. These animals are contained every hour of every
day in small enclosures that prohibit the animals from following their basic
instincts. Looking at the tigers, I could very clearly see how this was affecting the
animals. The tigers whole body was round and looked like a balloon. Although it
was an adorable sight, I immediately noticed that the tigers were so fat they would
roll around on the ground instead of walking. I quickly stopped smiling when I
realized just how miserable the tigers looked and

The Tree Agreement Poem
Trees are important not only physically but also spiritually and for many this fact
is lost. Physically trees provide humans with beauty and a healthy ecosystem.
Spiritually trees provide humans a connection to nature. Their importance has
been lost in our modern times as humans further separate themselves from nature.
While forgotten by many, their actions still resonate. The two modern poems The
Tree Agreement by Elise Paschen and Living Tree by Robert Morgan trumpet the
value trees hold in comparable ways. In the poem The Tree Agreement the speaker
argues for the benefits of the Siberian Elm against a disagreeing neighbor. By
structuring the poem in this manner, the poet highlights how people are blind to
the services trees provide while simultaneously highlighting said services. The tree
is portrayed almost as a friend or ally to the speaker. The speaker describes not only
to the significance of the tree to humans like the neighbor and the speaker but also
to the other living creatures surrounding them. The poem Living Tree focuses on
the actions performed by trees in cemeteries. This poem follows a more spiritual
route when compared to Paschen s poem. This poem describes the process those
who have been buried go through and the role trees play in this process. The trees
in this poem are portrayed as lightning rods for the chemicals and spirits of the dead.
This relationship is portrayed positively, as the trees are a monument to the passing
of life. These poems

Yet through skilled work and creativity he manages to avoid this problem, enabling
him to be able to survive World War Two without once desecrating Shabbos. At one
point during Chaim s stay in Karobka, he went to visit the nearby (metropolis) city
of Kuybishev. While there he noticed a woman selling books, including three of
which were written in Yiddish. He had not read anything in Yiddish since the
outbreak of the war, making him so desperate to buy the books even though he was
nearly at of money and had no food. Upon purchasing the books, he opened them to
the disappointment of discovering they were all about the greatness of
Communism! A little while later he is arrested, and is in fact saved upon the
officers discovering he was reading what they considered the most important books
on earth! This teaches an important lesson: sometimes what seems so bad, such as
here wasting his money on terrible books, can end up causing a salvation, as here it
is was saved him from imprisonment in Siberia. A little while after this, while
Chaim was still staying in Kazakhstan, he met a Jew who had promised him he
would organize a minyan for Yom Kippur, on the ground that Chaim would agree to
be the chazzan. This was astounding news, as they were living in communist Russia
during World War II, when talk of religion was unheard of, let alone finding ten men
to daven together on Yom Kippur! Chaim made his

The Technological Advances Of The Great Gatsby
1.Introduction Ever since the fall we have not been unable to physically restore
our glorious Eden experience, nor could we fix the mistake that Adam started with
either good living or hard work. No council could be gathered; no theologian could
negotiate his or her way out of our deserving judgment. We were indebted with sin,
unable to choose right from wrong. God s creation was just running around since
birth with no clue as to who are or what was if any power was in us. We are like
blind sheep aimlessly moving about with no direction, guidance or supervision.
But is that the case? Are we helplessly wrapped in flesh and totally depraved as
normal human beings? Depraved seems like such a solemn condition for such a
sophisticated race of people who have achieved so many great things. Consider the
technological advances we have accomplished, such as moving from horse driven
wagons to electric powered cars or only communicating via close proximity to
communicating via cell phones and email. There was a time when all people lived
in tents or makeshift homes, however, now were capable of erecting buildings
hundreds of stories in the air. Was God, not apart of this? Did He not use these
people? Was He not aware of our abilities before we were conceived? The depraved
state of humans would suggest we are in some parts incapable of good. How could
one be total depraved, without hope, and still able to do all these things?
Nevertheless, some would think that depravity means we

The Betrayal Of Brutus In Julius Caesar
Catharine MacKinnon once said, It s particularly hard to take being stabbed in the
back close to home. There s always a feeling of betrayal when people of your own
group oppose you. In Julius Caesar , Brutus decides to join the conspiracy against
Caesar. This in itself is a huge form of betrayal. The further into the play, the more
suspicion there is with Brutus. What are truly his objectives? How does he want it
all to end? Brutus was naive in believing Cassius. Overall, Brutus did betray Caesar
and it is evident in the story. Cassius is Brutus brother in law. Which means that
Brutus loved Cassius just as much as he loved Caesar. Brutus judgement may have
very well been conflicted because of his relation to Cassius. It is also evident that
Brutus was a good persuader(II, i , 120 130). This would make it apparent that Brutus
persuaded himself, as well as conspiracy, that if he killed Caesar it would be for a
good reason.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In this citation, it shows that Cassius was jealous. Although, it also showed that
Brutus saw through his jealous and focused on the fawning bestowed upon him.
Lucius, who was Brutus servant gave Brutus anonymous letters that were meant to
persuade him into joining the conspiracy. This shows that he was unsophisticated
enough to not question the letter.(II, i, 46 58). Brutus may have wanted to believe
Cassius words for his own reasons, also being hesitant as being part of the

Religious Influence Of Tolerance In The British Colonies
Tolerance in the British colonies varied, mainly depending on the diversity levels
where they were founded. In some of the colonies, there were laws established so the
importance of Christianity would be conserved. Other colonies were welcoming to
different religions, and executed either limited or full tolerance for those religions.
Unfortunately, colonies that were bigoted enough to damage fabrications of differing
religious views or the belief itself existed.
Throughout the British colonies, different laws based off of religious view were
formed in order to preserve Christianity and drive away any religion that didn t
praise God. In Pennsylvania, there was a law enacted by the founder of the
province, William Penn, that denied anyone to practice any religion that didn t
recognize God as creator of the world. If anyone was to disobey this law, they
would molested or would be prejudiced for their conflicting practice. Additionally,
the law stated if someone weren t to worship God, and showed it outside of their
own home, they would be considered a disturber of peace, and would be punished
appropriately. A similar law was ratified previously in the charter of Rhode Island,
where someone could be disquieted, punished, and called in for questioning if they
had an opposing opinion of religion. Other laws that reinforced Christianity were
stressed as well, like laws that prevented work on the Lord s Day, or Sunday, to
instead worship God. Again in Pennsylvania, people were

School Dynamics, Classroom Environments, And Teaching...
My field experience was at Port Chester High School and Preston High School.
During my observations, I was able to examine the many differences that exist in
school dynamics, classroom environments, and teaching strategies
Port Chester High School is a comprehensive high school that houses grades 9 12

English Language Learners. The schools culture diversity is comprised of over 28
nations, 75 percent are Hispanic, 16 percent white (non Hispanic), 7 percent black,
and 2 percent are from other backgrounds (Sadker Zittleman, 2013).

At Port Chester High School, I observed an 11 grade US History class with Mrs.
Sandoval. The classroom contained 22 students. Mrs. Sandoval was patient and
seemed to motivate her students. She was very organized and made sure that every
student was engaged and remained on task. What really impressed me about the
class was her easy rapport with the students. Mrs. Sandoval explained to me that a
goal she sets for herself as an educator is to build the student teacher
interrelationship, established on trust and fairness. According to Sadker and
Zittleman (2013), often the successful teachers are the ones that enjoy managing
and motivating people and are often found to have a pretty good sense of humor.
Mrs. Sandoval feels when she jokes around or is playful with the students they
respond better. She feels that it creates a more comfortable learning environment. As
per her students, she is viewed as the cool teacher , because of this they often try not
to disappoint her. In essence, she is able to deliver the lesson and still maintain a high
level of accountability.
At Preston High School, I observed Mr. Carneiro s 10th grade Global History 2 class.
The classroom contained 18 girl students. I observed Mr. Carneiro to be effective and

An Overview of Urban Regeneration
INTRODUCTION
1.0An Overview of Urban Regeneration
According to Withgott and Brennan (2007), people are now live at a turning point.
Beginning about the year 2007, for the first time in the human history, more people
will live in the urban areas than in rural areas. The development of social diversity is
one of the principal objectives of urban regeneration. It aims at attracting new
inhabitants in degraded districts but also preventing their inhabitants to leave them as
soon as the situation has improved.
To reach such an objective requires establishing a strong bond between economic
development and physical regeneration. These two themes of urban regeneration are,
indeed, complementary; insofar they allow a work in the ... Show more content on

For disadvantaged groups in particular (UN, 2004), this transformation increases their
power relative to that of other groups in their socio economic and political
environments. Empowerment in this sense is thus an outcome of both the capacity
building of people and a reform of the rules and practices that oppress them (Wober,
1994).
Social mobilization (Rapoport, 1977) reduces poverty because it is based on the
premise that the poor are willing and able to carry out a number of functions
themselves to improve their situations, given encouragement to form their own
organizations for promoting their development through their own efforts and
participating actively in decision making that enhances their livelihoods.
1. Economic Restructuring
Tourism development is often driven and rationalized by economic impacts (Law
1992; Judd 1995; Hall 1995; Law 1996; Department of National Heritage 1997;
Cooper et. al.1998). The type of partnership and its institutional framework utilized in
the regeneration process depends upon the characteristics of the area, partnership
objectives, activities and relationships between partners (Armstrong, 2000). It is
argued that property developers certain private commercial interests have gained
legally massive advantages in the market place through the political means of state
patronage (Brownill, 1990; Church, 1988).

Essay on Zero Tolerance Policy of Education in America
Zero Tolerance Policy of Education in America In Bedford, Texas, a 16 year old
honor student was expelled after a security guard noticed a kitchen knife on the
floor of the student s car. The knife apparently had fallen unnoticed as the student
carted some of his grandmother s possessions to Goodwill. He was ordered to spend
a year in a juvenile justice educationprogram and banished from district property
and school sponsored activities. [...] In Deer Lakes, Pennsylvania, a kindergarten
student was suspended for bringing a toy axe to school. He was dressed as a
firefighter for Halloween. [...] In Thornton, Colorado, a... Show more content on

If a student was a relatively good kid with no past disciplinary actions taken against
him or her, they were much more likely to have a punishment that actually taught
them something, rather than creating a sense of resentment towards the school
authorities, and the system in general. Before the era of zero tolerance, a kid with a
great future ahead could not screw it all up by making one simple mistake.
The line that zero tolerance crosses is one of intent. Zero tolerance looks only at the
offense that has been made, not at the circumstances that brought it about. If someone
with no intent of doing something unlawful accidentally commits a crime, they are
punished equally with one who deliberately inflicts harm.
So how did zero tolerance laws come about? When major incidences of school
disruption, like the Columbine shooting, started occurring, school officials decided
they needed to start cracking down on discipline. After realizing certain things were
starting to get out of hand, the federal government made it mandatory for, [...] a zero
tolerance policy toward the possession of illegal drugs and weapons on school
grounds, (Copenhaver 1).
In the beginning days of zero tolerance, the laws truly did focus on behavior that
could be deemed dangerous and criminal, and required a mandatory expulsion for

Questions On Financial Data Reported Essay
In this paper I will demonstrate the use of financial data reported in SEC s Edgar
database and data reported by Finance.Yahoo.com (Figure 2a and 2b) to access the
risk and return while accessing EMCOR Group Inc. stock performance and compare
the performance of EMCOR with the S P 500.
EMCOR Group Inc.
EMCOR Group stock prices have fluctuated greatly over the last ten years, the lowest
closing stock price occurred in February, 2009 at a rate of $15.41, the highest
recorded closing for EMCOR stock occurred in October, 2015 at $50.40. (Table 1)
EMCOR has been a publically offered stock since 1994, the year they were founded.
EMCOR began paying dividends in January of 1997 and experienced its first stock
split in February of 2006 and again in July of 2007. (Figure 1)
Stock and Market Risk and Return
EMCOR has in the last ten years had an average return of 14%, which is
significantly higher than the average stock return of 6.9% for the S P 500.The
standard deviation for EMCOR was 24.3%, while the S P 500 was 18.6%. EMCOR s
standard deviation is in line with publicly traded firms which are typically 20% to
30%. (Brigham Houston, 2016, pp. 267 268) A lower standard of deviation is
generally preferred when investments are expected to generate similar returns, as
the stock with a lower standard of deviation is thought to be less risky. However,
EMCOR s coefficient of variation was 1.74 compared to the S P 500 with a
coefficient of variation of 2.71 during the same time period. This

House Altar With Akhenaten, Nefertiti And Three Daughters

House Altar with Akhenaten, Nefertiti and Three Daughters
The art of the ancient Egyptians is known for how consistent it remained for
thousands of years. The Amarna period is significant because it was a brief shift from
that consistency under the Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, (who later changed his named to
Akhenaten) his Queen, Nefertiti and later, Tutankhamen. They began worshipping the
sun god Aten, which is evident in the art that was commissioned. Instead of using
strict registers, walls were cluttered with images. (Giuliano). An example of this
stylistic turn is the House Altar with Akhenaten, Nefertiti and Three Daughters.
The house altar is a piece that was carved into limestone during the Amarna period of
the 18th dynasty around 1350 BC. It would have been similar to the altars found in
homes that the royal couples subjects could worship. That altar features the royal
couple and three of their daughters in a domestic setting. Akhenaten and Nefertiti are
depicted as the only ones with access to the god Aten, characterized by a sun disk
with a cobra engraved in it. The family scene is also warmer and intimate than those
that came before it, (Lorenz) which is marked by the parents holding their children
lovingly in ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The children also appear disproportionate and are depicted as miniature compared
to their parents, which was very atypical from the traditional approach where
bodies were perfectly balanced. Another example of this type of style is the famous
Nefertiti bust, which also shows the elongated head and crown. Conversely, on a
sandstone block from Theban tomb 55 of Ramose has an example of Amenhotep IV
s image in the style of his father s reign, where his features are not distorted and are
much more traditional ( Images of Amenhotep IV 89), which is in contrast to how he
is depicted in the Amarna

Maggot Poll
The next step involves the collection of the insects and beetles from the body and
scene. Adult flies should be caught with a net, and then immobilized in a glass
killing jar consisting of a cotton ball soaked in ethyl acetate. After a few minutes
the adult flies can be transferred to vial with 75% ethyl alcohol. For the collection
of beetles, using forceps or gloved fingers beetle can be placed directly into a vial
of 75% ethyl alcohol. The next step is the collection of eggs and approximately 60
larvae from the maggot mass. These can be placed in a killing solution or ethyl
alcohol. For multiple sites of maggot colonization, samples should be taken
separately. The process should be repeated for obtaining live, non preserved... Show

Some flies prefer indoors or outdoors for laying eggs, and some prefer the shade or
sunlit areas. Furthermore, a delay or absence of eggs in the typical colonization
time may indicate the body was frozen, sealed in a sealed container, or buried very
deep. Finally, in a violent death or abuse, certain flies are attracted to urine, feces, or
blood. By collecting these insects a forensic entomologist can yield important
information about a victim prior to their death, but also postmortem, by using
DNA technology that can use the blood found in an insect from the victim to
establish a link between victim and a suspect (Byrd, 2014). Decomposition is a
multi stage process that includes the fresh stage, bloat stage, active decay stage,
advanced decay stage, and the putrid dry decay stage. During the fresh, bloat, and
active decay stages the blow flies, eggs, and larvae are present. But, the rate of
decomposition can be delayed or increased based on the environment (e.g. indoors
or outdoors), a well or minimally concealed body, temperature, and seasons. A body
submerged in water is typically cooler in temperature or the type of protection a
body has surrounding it, can impede on the colonization of blow flies, resulting in
the delay of decomposition. But, a body with open wounds, exposure to certain drugs
(e.g. cocaine), or even bodies charred can

Cultural Competency On Healthcare Delivery
As the diverse populations of the United States (U.S.) continues to grow the need for
cultural competency in healthcare delivery requires culturally competent healthcare
providers. Each population has its own particular norms and practices that guide their
lifestyles; therefore, a challenge arises for healthcare providers to learn to provide
culturally sensitive care to clients from diverse cultural backgrounds (Waite and
Calamaro 2010). The ever changing population of the U.S. signifies a much needed
change in health care delivery to different cultures. The U.S. Bureau of Census (1992)
predicts that by the year 2020 only 53 % of the population will be of white European
decent. Unfortunately, the lack of culturally competent healthcare providers such as
nurses, leads to negative patient outcomes and low quality healthcare. Culturally
competent nurses are required to adequately treat our culturally diverse population.
Nurses are frontline patient advocates and education and training in cultural
competence is an intervention that will implement positive changes in healthcare
delivery in the U.S.
Definition of Cultural Competence
Professional nursing services provided utilizing cultural competence is a way of
providing healthcare to a diverse population without bias to patient s cultural beliefs.
Increasing cultural competence and providing culturally congruent care in nursing
can improve the quality of care and health outcomes (Ahmann 2002).
However, before one can become

Diabetes Type 2
Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease that causes their sugar levels to rise higher than average. Type
2 is the most common form of diabetes. It can affect the way our body handles
glucose, a kind of sugar, in the patients bloodstream. Over time the pancreas isn t able
to keep up and can t make enough insulin to keep their blood glucose at average
levels.
Transmission Prevalence
Type 2 is a lifestyle disease which means the way the patient lives their life.
Developing this lifestyle disease can run in the family or be inherited. If they have a
family member with diabetes, genetically they will be disposition to have diabetes.
Men and women are equally likely to inherit this disease. Approximately 29 million

Moral Relativism And The Ethical Dilemma
Introduction When I first looked at the instructions for this assignment the ethical
dilemma I wanted to talk about came immediately to mind. It was a decision I
made more than fifteen years ago but I still remember it and had never thought of
it in terms of ethics before. When I started this unit and began looking at situations
from that perspective I became more intrigued and wondered if any of the readings
could help me understand why I came to the decision I did . I once made the
decision to engage in a behaviour deviant to the norm of my society, deciding that
the correct action to take was to steal from one of my teachers. When I started
reading about moral relativism and realised that this might be a way to explain how
a wrong choice can sometimes be a right one, or at least to the person acting on it.
Moral Relativism The view that moral judgements are true or false only relative to
some particular standpoint...and that no standpoint is uniquely privileged over all
others... (Westacott, date unknown) The foundations of the concept of moral
relativism were first expressed in 5th Century Greece; prior to this the idea of
morals could be easily summed up as the following by Westacott: In the view of most
people throughout history, moral questions have objectively correct
answers...cowardice is a bad quality...heroes deserve respect... However, a few
intellectuals of the era began to contemplate the idea that this might not be as
straightforward as previously

The Importance Of Japanese Culture And Society
In societies across the world, religion has always had the ability to unite the people
into communities through its rituals and celebrations. Japanese society is a major
example of how people can join together as a community to celebrate their unique
beliefs. However, this would then often raise the question of which came first; the
close knit community who started the religion, or the religion that jumpstarted
everything and brought people together. The truth of the matter is, if one were to
look at Japanese culture and society, it is rather apparent that ancient religions such as
Buddhism and Shintoform rituals and traditions which would then later shape the
ceremonies that the community partake in. These ceremonies are essentially festivals
that villages put together to show respect and acknowledgement for a certain religion
or an important event. Festivals are done with the most dedication among everybody
in a villageor town, and it is this dedication that proves how important festivals are to
the community. Essentially, the religion is the driving force behind a culture s
communal bond, and it is the festivals such as the Kenka Matsuri, Namahage Matsuri,
and the Gion Matsuri that are physical representation of this union. However, these
religious festivals have proven to lose its religious background and tradition and start
to converge into a celebration of the community itself. A very well known festival
that Japan usually takes pride in is the Kenka Matsuri, or also

The Dangers Of Cell Phones
Just one more minute, all smart phone owners have told themselves as they ignore
their daily tasks. Cell phones have made everyone, just a click away. These tools
have become a part of our daily lives whether we want it or not. We are becoming
attached to our cell phones. Everyone uses smartphone on a daily basis, but when
is it too much. The amount of time spent on cell phones is crazy high. In U.S.
Consumers Now Spend 5 Hours per Day on Mobile Devices Sarah Perez explains
that We re up to 5 hours a day on our mobile devices . That is crazy high that is
almost half of the day. With that much time on a cell phone, we could be doing so
much more with our time. For example, face to face communication, going outside
and enjoying the outdoors, learning something new, work on a hobby that doesn t
involve a screen. Students spend six to eight hours at school every day out of a
fourteen hour day, and five on phones. That leaves one to three hours for their
other activities, including extracurricular and school work. There isn t a lot of time
in there for interaction to other people or being with your family, but there is time
for you and your cell phone. Cell phones are highly addictive, even like a drug. In

O Ahu Tree Snails
O ahu Tree Snails are also known as Achatinella mustelina is a genus from the
family Achatinellidae (Kay Hadfield, 1972, p. 320). They are approximately found
only within a range of the Waianae mountains in Oahu. There are many physical
attributes of O ahu tree snails that make this a valuable species in Hawaiian culture
and heritage. For example, O ahu tree snails are approximately В ѕ inches in length.
Because they originate from the islands of O ahu, these snails live in humid or dry
to wet environments and they also come in a variety of flamboyant colors, unique
shapes, and different patterns. More and more O ahu Tree Snails have disappeared
in the last decades. This has become a problem for the ecosystem and the other

All of these factors can lead these snails into extinction faster. Because they have low
reproductive rates, they are more vulnerable towards predators. Also, the fact that
these snails are extremely small at the time of birth, the time that it takes for them to
be reproductively mature takes extensive nourishment and care using the resources of
Hawaii s atmosphere as a result of their delayed growth. Moreover, because
Achatinella mustelina have a low fertility rate, the population is already
decreasing to begin with, so they are not able to reproduce within a certain amount
of time to create a significant population of O ahu tree snails. In addition to the
low maturity rate, habitat destruction kills the snails source of food such as plants
and other viable food sources, as a result this lowers their growth rate. However,
reallocating the snails from densely populated areas to less densely populated
environments will allow for less competition and an increased population (Kobayashi
Hadfield, 1996, pg. 352). This solution can ensure that there is an even dispersal of
species in order to decrease the extinction
