Holi Festival Essay
Crafting an essay on the Holi Festival is no easy feat. It requires delving into the rich cultural
tapestry of India, understanding the historical and religious significance of the festival, and
capturing the vibrant and joyous spirit that characterizes the celebration. The challenge lies in
striking a balance between providing insightful information and conveying the emotional essence
of the festival.
To begin with, extensive research is necessary to gather accurate and detailed facts about the
origins, traditions, and rituals associated with Holi. This involves sifting through various sources,
ranging from historical texts to contemporary accounts, to ensure the essay is well-informed and
comprehensive.
The complexity intensifies when attempting to infuse creativity into the narrative. Describing the
colorful powder, the lively music, and the exuberant dance during Holi requires a keen sense of
detail and a mastery of language. Balancing factual accuracy with expressive language is a
delicate task, demanding careful consideration of the target audience and the desired impact.
Moreover, presenting a unique perspective or angle to keep the essay engaging and distinctive is
a challenge in itself. While maintaining cultural sensitivity, one must find a narrative voice that
resonates with readers and conveys the significance of Holi beyond its surface-level festivities.
The time and effort invested in the writing process should not be underestimated. Revisions are
essential to refine the structure, language, and flow of the essay. Striking the right tone and
maintaining a cohesive narrative can be a painstaking process, requiring multiple drafts and
meticulous editing.
In conclusion, crafting an essay on the Holi Festival is a formidable task that demands a
combination of research skills, cultural understanding, creativity, and careful writing. The goal is
not just to convey information but to immerse the reader in the vibrant and festive atmosphere of
Holi. It is a task that requires dedication, attention to detail, and a genuine appreciation for the
cultural significance of the festival.

Effectiveness Of A Worker For Prisons
From a caseworker s perspective, inmates can be difficult to treat effectively,
especially if you are uncomfortable with the population. The hierarchical structure
and safety issues put prison workers under continuous daily pressure. They face a
major challenge to handle their daily tasks while keeping emotions of anxiety,
anger, and fear hidden so as not to interfere with their job performance. (Ghaddar,
Ronda, Nolasco, 504). Dealing with anger over the crimes committed by these
people, the anxiety of trying to assist them in solving their issues, and the fear of
them committing some form of violence towards you can be overwhelming to a
caseworker. Work ability is defined as How good is the worker at present and in the
near future and how able is he/she to do his/her work with respect to work
demands, health, and mental resources. (Ghaddar et all, 503). In this study,
scientists conducted a study in which the effectiveness (work ability) of a worker
for prisons was put on an index (work ability index, WAI) and measured. This was
done in order to determine if, after a certain age, social workers began to burn out
when it comes to their ability to complete the emotionally and mentally taxing
activities of being a resource for prisoners. According to this study, the following
psychosocial factors were identified to interfere with performance of the worker: high
workload, emotional demands, needs to hide emotions, low control and influence,
poor social support and

No More Boomerang Poem Analysis
No More Boomerang by Oodgeroo Noonuccal is a short poem about western
European culture replaced Australia Indigenous culture. This poem represented the
struggle of Indigenous people. The poet conveyed a regretful tone to persuade
readers to accept about the Indigenous culture. The poem begin with an alliteration
sentence, No more boomerang no more spear. Now all civilized colour bar and beer.
This sentence had shown the overruling of Indigenous culture. The European want
them to be a civilized nation. In this sentence, Indigenous people were represented
as uncouth and savages. The author also used a symbolism to show the control of
Indigenous culture. No more corroboree gay dance and din. Now we got movies and
pay to go in are symbolic of the culture s changing, Indigenous people now have to
pay for their entertainment. In this poem,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Because a good structural can make the poem more interesting, then it will be easy
to remember for the readers. The main thing that the author want to present is that
European dominated their culture and lifestyle, although it was extremely
disrespectful. One evidence is No more firestick that made whites scoff. Now all
electric and no better off. It rhyming sentence had shown the whites were scoff
about the Indigenous tools, and replaced them into more advanced things. Another
structural device is repetition. The start of the sentence in first two stanzas are No
more. And Now For example the first stanza said No more boomerang no more
spear. Now all civilised colour bar and beer. No more corroboree gay dance and
din. Now we got movies and pay to go in. This repetition highlighted the difference
of Indigenous life before and after the European came. Before, Indigenous people
were living free and joyful, but after the European came, they lost all of the freedom
and they must living like western

Reflection Of Education
While these are good values to have when starting my career as an educator, these
abstract thoughts aren t going to get me anywhere unless I am able to translate them
into practice. Upon reflection about how to do so, I was able to come up with a few
ways on how to get these thoughts into educational practice. One important practice
is to institute effective, positive and accurate communication with parents as soon as
possible. Starting off the year with parent teacher conferences as early as possible
will start off the year on a good note while finding out as much as possible about
the...familys goals for their child s learning and development (YC). This will ensure
that everyone is on the same page going into the year and they can... Show more

This extra work that the teachers need to put in is tripled for the parents; they have
been dealing with their child and their needs since birth. Respecting and appreciating
[this] extra work and being able to include positive comments about their child s
successes and not just their shortcomings will go a long way in building up the
respect from parents (YC). We need to keep in mind that some parents have had a
long history of working with the government and other professionals that haven t
been helpful and they might assume that you won t assist their child either. This is a
challenge that can be addressed when first speaking to the parents and communicating
with them that you are here to help and describe various ways to provide supports.
Along with communication with the families, an important part of building a
cohesive classroom is having techniques on controlling behaviors. This will
include, in some instances, an FBA and BiP to curtail specific problem behaviors.
For the most part, I will try and implement PBIS and other styles, like group
contingency strategies, to manage my classroom. I hope that my class will respect
me and therefore listen to the rules that we have in place. During the first day, as a
class, we will come up with a rules list that is simple yet pervasive. After putting into
effect these rules, the consequences will be clearly stated.

God Grew Tired Of Us
A refugee is a person who was forced to leave their country. Whether it be from
warfare or natural disaster, their homes are no longer safe to live in, so they need to
relocate elsewhere. Once someone sets foot on the journey of becoming a refugee,
they become vulnerable and dependent with no sense of what the future will bring. In
an attempt to accommodate them, first world countries with the resources necessary
to assist these refugees, are struggling to determine whether or not they should step in
and help. Some argue that taking them in could come with excessive consequences,
while others believe they could be assets. Although there may be a few consequences,
they are outweighed by the benefits and undeniable severity of the situation.... Show

When relocating to a new country, a refugee must get used to a new culture while
suppressing their own. Not to mention, they have to live knowing that they left
their family and friends behind in a dangerous environment. They are stuck with
the burden of not knowing whether or not their relatives are still alive. Having to
live day after day with these weights on your shoulder would be a detriment to
anyone s emotional health. In the documentary, God Grew Tired of Us, John Dau,
a Syrian refugee came to America where he was able to live in an apartment, get a
job, and receive an education. He went from living outdoors with no idea of what
tomorrow will bring, to living in an air conditioned apartment with a chance to
build a future, yet Dau still wasn t happy. He found himself missing his homeland
and the friends and family he had left behind. Refugees face a multitude of
emotional stress when starting their new lives, everything has changed for them and
sometimes it can be too much to handle. Knowing they left vulnerable loved ones
behind, while they get to start anew can make it hard to enjoy their chance at
happiness. Along with the distress that comes with being on your own, the different
customs and societal values can be difficult on a refugee. They may need to
abandon old traditions or even hide a part of their identity that wouldn t be seen as
normal in their new location. A constant sense of loneliness along with living in a
new area where you don t quite fit in can be emotionally stressful for

Tornado Research
Introduction
Predicting tornado activity can be one of the most challenging aspects of
Meteorology. Tornados can form in less than 10 seconds, providing little to no
warning of the potential devastating destruction they leave behind. With
advancements in technology being more aware of the formation of tornados would
appear to be a natural outcome. Research indicates, that the advancement in
predicting tornados is closely related to understanding better why early predictions
are challenging.
Reasons for Predicting Tornados

horrifying stories. Higher rated tornados tend to lead to multiple casualties and
staggering records of injuries. When a tornado descends ... Show more content on

March 25th 1948 brought about the first modern day tornado prediction in
Oklahoma City. Major E. J. Fawbush and Captain R.C. Miller of Tinker Air Force
base predicted that a tornado would hit the area (Gensini, 2016). This successful
prediction that came from Fawbush and Miller s study of a recent tornado on March
20, along with reviewing recent tornado research they predicted the March 25th
tornado. After public outcry for local predictions the U.S Weather Bureau removed
the ban on tornado warning in 1950 (Coleman, 2011). These evolving predictions
have led to the warning systems and processes used to predict tornadic weather to
prevent loss of life and potential destruction through tornado warnings. The evolution
of predictions has had an impact on the decimation of the warnings to the public.
While initially warnings were announced through radio and television, in modern
days we have ma multitude of ways to get the prediction out in warning messages
through news, radio, air raid sirens and social

also recommend that they check their cars before the are taken off the lot so that the

The Secret To Raising Smart Children Analysis

Illusions of Success For years now, many students have thought How do I grow up
too be successful? but the truth here is that the people asking this, don t know what
success really means to them. Accomplishment can be defined in a variety of ways,
such as the amount of money a person makes, how happy an individual is by
themselves, or even achieving in the simple things in life. You can, however, gain the
characteristics needed to be successful in the future, for example, patience,
determination, and a straight mindset. Accidental effects can also come into play, for
instance dumb luck that can happen to anybody and the wealth gap between the
person or the school they attend. These are just three of the most important traits a
scholar must have in order to get somewhere in their future of education and in life
down the path they may take.

Essay on Personality Disorders and Deviant Behavior
Personality Disorders and Deviant Behavior
People who suffer from personality disorders often display deviant behavior. The
mental illness itself is not deviant. They typically have problems with social skills,
mood swings, emotional states, and are often unable to maintain healthy, stable
relationships. Many sufferers do not possess the capability to have genuine emotions,
including empathy for others. A personality disorder is the basis of many
circumstances of maladaptive behavior including substance abuse, self harm, suicide,
and criminality. There are ten different personality disorders, each having specific
symptoms, but all of them share certain characteristics. The first of these
characteristics is that an ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
They may react to supposed character attracts with learned anger and
counterattacks. They often project blame for their own failures onto other people
and become very isolated and closed to others. Because of the isolation, paranoid
personality disorders often turn to alcoholism and drug use. Another personality
disorder that often results in isolation is schizoid personality disorder. This person
chooses solitary activities and takes pleasure in few, if any, activities involving
others. Due to the fact that this person does not desire or enjoy close relationships,
other than first degree relatives, the interest in sexual experiences with another
person is nonexistent. This lack of desire for attachment results in a show of
emotional coldness. The main deviant behavior of a schizoid personality is the lack
of social interaction. They usually have a restricted range of emotions in all social
settings. They often prefer the life of the recluse or the isolated eccentric. This type
of personality disorder often evolves into a serious psychotic condition known as
schizophrenia. Another type of personality disorder that may turn into schizophrenia
is schizotypal personality disorder. A person who displays this type of behavior also
is uncomfortable close relationships. However, this type of personality disorder often
displays eccentrics

My Community Importance
Community is a place where everyone should feel comfortable being in and
acknowledge one another s decisions and their presence. Coming from a well
developed community in one of the most developed cities in Nepal, our community
still lacked of several moral values and development. Kathmandu is the capital of
Nepal and is one of the most developed cities throughout the country , but still coming
from a well developed community, our community still faced several problems
which lacked moral values and infrastructural developments within the community.
Although our communities lacked on certain things , people in our community
were still able to provide a good amount of resources to each community which was
in need of any kind of help or resources. My Community is very much important to
me because it is a big part of my life and my journey to where i am right now.The
community that i live in plays a significant role in shaping the way i am right now.
I ve always had a passion in serving for my community because everyone within my
community has sacrificed something in order to do provide for each one of us in

The Discovery Of Fossilized Hyoid Bones
By 0.6 Mya, H. heidelbergensis appeared. Likely an ancestor of our own species,
their fossils have been found with the remnants of large, butchered animals and hand
axes suggesting a good degree of tool usage. It is unknown whether or not they
actively hunted the large animals that they hunted, but the prolifacy of these
butchering sites would suggest that Heidelbergensis was able to have consistent
access to these large carcasses. Examination of fossilized hyoid bones in
Heidelbergensis indicates that they were also capable of making the nuanced sounds
required for speech (MartГ nez I, et. al.). Their easy access to food and fire probably
came in handy during the Kansan glacial period, which lasted from 0.46 to 0.30
Mya. It was during this icy period that the lineages of Homo sapiens and Homo
neanderthalensis finally split from that of H. heidelbergensis and begin to truly hunt
for their food.
As the ice thaws, Homo neanderthalensis and Homo rhodesiensis first appear.
Neanderthals were stockier than modern humans, standing at about 160 cm. They
likely possessed a pale complexion and reddish hair (indicated by sequencing the
genetics of the bones of two particularly well preserved specimens), which allowed
them to produce the large amounts of Vitamin D needed to survive in their primarily
northern European habitats (O Neil). Rhodesiensis, on the other hand, likely a human
ancestor, showed features consistent with a mix between heidelbergensis and H.
sapiens, including an

Dynamic Characters In The Call Of The Wild
When reading a novel, there are going to be characters that are either static or
dynamic. Static characters stay the same throughout the entire book like brustle
sprouts stay on a plate in a room full of children. Dynamic characters are the exact
opposite; they are always changing in unique ways that are sometimes better or at
other times worse than earlier in the story. In The Call of the Wild, by Jack London,
the main characterBuck is without a doubt, a dynamic character. As the story
progresses, he is constantly evolving into a new dog.

On a train, he faced a man in a red sweater with a club in hand. Instinctively, Buck
charged with fury and was beat into submission. A lesson was learned (although
after a long time) that man were the people in charge. The next event that took
place was when Buck was sold to two men named Francois and Perrault. Quickly
he learned (unlike the train) that he best keep his act together unless he wanted to
meet with another club. Many differences occurred in Buck: he was dependent and
independent, learned at an incredible speed, got bigger and stronger, adapted to the
environment, and became aware of more. How can he be both dependent and
independent? Well, Buck depended on Francois and Perrault for food and
necessities; but was extremely independent due to the fact that he had to teach
himself when he did something wrong since all he got was a bite to the hind
quarters to shape up. Most scenarios it was vital that Buck learned quickly if he
didn t want to be hit. Luckily, Buck was good at it, whenever he made a mistake he
worked incredibly hard to make it better and almost never had to be told twice
about what to do. Obviously Buck had to have gotten huge and fast considering he
was pulling a sled pretty much nonstop except at night. Adapting took a bit longer.
Because of the harsh environmental grounds, he had to wear boots since his paws
were soft and couldn t take it in until they were padded enough after the boots were
so worn down. Not only did he change in his physical being and character traits, but
also when it came to his mental understanding. Buck gained awareness and street
smarts. So, his five senses kicked in and he became almost like a super dog and could
always tell if something bad or good was going to

Liver Disease Research Paper
Pediatric non alcoholic fatty liver disease:
Increasing awareness in the primary care setting
By Hanna Sauer, RN, BSN

(775) 303 4779 [email protected] Abstract: Non alcoholic fatty liver disease
(NAFLD) can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in children and
adolescents. Primary care providers have a unique position to identify and screen for
the disease in its early stages. This article provides an overview of prevalence, expert
guidelines, screening, treatment, and implications for the advanced practice

Non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major complication of childhood ...
Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
According to a landmark article by Browning et al, prevalence of NAFLD was
described as being highest in the Hispanic population and lowest among Black
Americans, and Caucasians with an intermediate prevalence. The differences were
thought to be related to insulin resistance, visceral adiposity, genetics and
socioeconomic status9.
Overnutrition, specifically excessive consumption of fructose, is fundamental to
NAFLD development10. Fructose metabolism, unlike glucose, occurs nearly
exclusively in the liver and is preferentially selected for lipogenesis. The triglyceride
production and storage that results from fructose ingestion is highly associated with
central obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance11. This relevant finding is
especially important to clinicians, as this modifiable risk factor may be easily
addressed.
Screening Guidelines and Recommendations
The majority of children with NAFLD are asymptomatic. Occasionally patients may
complain of vague abdominal pain, fatigue, or malaise, however, liver disease is
usually found incidentally on physical exam or routine lab work1. Children may
have mild to moderate hepatomegaly; however, the majority of these children are
overweight or obese, making liver palpation a challenge. In addition to obesity and
visceral adiposity, children with NAFLD often present with acanthosis nigricans on
the back of their neck or intertrigenous areas, which is suggestive of insulin

The Statistical Phenomenon Regression Of An English...
The statistical phenomenon Regression to the Mean is present when a condition
reaches a high degree as it is first observed, then reverts to the average when later
observed. It is also present when a condition remains average during the first
observation and fluctuates highly during the second. This regression effect is
common within any element that oscillates irregularly within quantity and quality
over time. The definition of the word regression is to return to a former state. In this
theory, a variable often returns to an averagevalue after it reaches a high value, or
when a variable that begins at a low value it tends to reach the average afterward. An
English Victorian statistician by the name of Francis Galtonrefined this theory... Show

After studying the heights of parents in relation to the height of their children, Galton
realized that tall parents will have children who are taller than the average height but
not as tall as them. He also found that short parents often have short kids, but not as
short as they are (Ellenberg, 301). These results allowed Galton to recognize the
natural phenomenon of Regression to the Mean. He then published his results in
1889 in a book he wrote entitled Natural Inheritance. In the book Galton discussed
that the regression theory is a natural occurrence as a result of inheritance and
fortuity. It was then understood that this theory is relevant to numerous variable
beyond human traits. The regression to the mean theory is applied commonly today
when studying patterns such as athletic performance and intellectual achievement. In
Siddharth Kalla s article Regression Toward the Mean, he discusses a frequent trend
within Olympic athletes who have been awarded gold medals and continue to
compete. Olympic gold medalists tend to have a dip in performance...this is because
they were the ones hitting their peak in performance in the Olympics and therefore
also gets much attention afterward, because people expect more from these athletes
(Kalla). After an athlete has already attained the highest award in their Olympic sport,
it is seldom that they could repeat their success

Symbolism In Citizen Kane
In Citizen Kane, a wealthy newspaper tycoon named Charles Foster Kane dies a
solitary death in his sprawling estate Xanadu. In an attempt to discover just who this
legendary yet private individual was, a journalist named Jerry Thompson is tasked
with discovering the meaning behind his final words: Rosebud. Although Thompson
interviews many of the people who the public considered close to Kane including
friends, ex lovers, and the memoirs of his childhood guardian, he never truly
discovers what he was tasked in finding out. In never discovering the meaning of
Rosebud, Thompson concludes that you cannot sum up the life of a man with just a
single word, saying the meaning of Rosebud was just a missing piece in a jigsaw
puzzle. Throughout the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The conflicting memories of those close to Kane help the spectator understand
why Kane was so lonely. Kane s desire for companionship is represented in the film
by the presence of statues. The people he tried to get close to always left him, even
his ex wife for whom he built the monstrous Xanadu. Kane buys so many statues in
his desperation, because they appear human yet cannot leave. These statutes serve
as a motif signifying Kane s loneliness and how he attempted to use his money to
get people to stay in his life. In the closing moments of the film, vast rooms
brimming with boxes full of junk, many of which remain unopened, intermingle
with statues and help convey just how far Kane s obsession went, and how
unfulfilled his life was. A large portion of Kane s issues stemmed from how he was

The Challenges Of Enlightenment In The Epic Of Beowulf
During the Anglo Saxon era, Beowulf, were recited by scops within Mead Halls
across the lands to warriors during times of war. The poem of Beowulf tells various
quest of an epic hero named Beowulf enlightenment by adventures beyond a man s
destiny. A warrior from Geats comes to the rescue of Hrothgar, the king of the Danes
whose land is being attacked by a monster, Grendel. Beowulfsucceeds and defeats
Grendel. To show his prowess, he even kills Grendel. The consequences of his
actions angered the mother of Grendel, releasing her wrath of terror upon him and
the Danes. Beowulf defeat Grendel s mother, giving the Danes a sense of peace and
security for numerous years to come; as they respected Beowulf with the utmost
gratitude allowing him to rule their nation. Beowulf showcases the actions of an epic
hero; his unmatched power and his continuous journey for fame and glory
demonstrates his immortal reputation like no other ordinary man. Beowulf has
battle a variety enormous demons throughout his lifetime; in the new light of terror
of an Almighty beast, descendent of Cain screams of the Almighty s enemy sang in
the darkness, the horrible shrieks of pain and defeat, the tears of torn out of Grendel
s taut throat (308 311). Beowulf power was unmatched to any beast of any sorts.
Beowulf was the protector of men of the lands, holding onto the life of an monster.
Beowulf s weaponry was ultimately useless he d used his hands, the strength in his

The Epidemic Of Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever
Introduction
Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a severe and often deadly illness named after a river in the
Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly ZaГ Їre) where it was п¬ Ѓrst identiп¬ Ѓed in
1976 with a high case fatality rate lying between 50 and 90%. Outbreaks between
1972 and 2007 are shown in Table 1. The disease п¬ Ѓrst came into the limelight in
1976 in ZaГ Їre and Sudan in 1976 [17]. Its origin is still unknown and it is widely
believed that Ebola virus is transmitted to humans from discrete life cycles in
animals or insects, but regardless of the original source. Person to person
transmission is the means by which Ebola outbreaks and epidemics progress.
Bioterrorism threats as well as emergence of new pandemic and drug resistant
variants of known infections require development of the tools that would adequately
predict occurrence of epidemics, assess efficiency of countermeasures, and optimize
the efforts directed towards provision of biological safety.
Mathematical modeling has emerged as an important tool for gaining understanding
of the dynamics of the spread of infectious diseases. The need of accurate models
describing the epidemic process are vital, because infectious diseases outbreaks
disturb the host population and has п¬ Ѓnancial and health consequences. There is
also the need to use sound statistical analysis methods to test the п¬ Ѓt of such models
to observed data to account for uncertainties by means of probabilistic models.

Multiprocessor systems have been used for many years, and high end programmers
are familiar with the techniques to exploit multiprocessors for higher performance
levels.
In recent years a number of other techniques to further exploit TLP have been
discussed and some products have been announced. One of these techniques is chip
multiprocessing (CMP), where two processors are put on a single die. The two
processors each have a full set of execution and architectural resources. The
processors may or may not share a large on chip cache. CMP is largely orthogonal to
conventional multiprocessor systems, as you can have multiple CMP processors in
a multiprocessor configuration. Recently announced processors incorporate two
processors on each die. However, a CMP chip is significantly larger than the size of
a single core chip and therefore more expensive to manufacture; moreover, it does
not begin to address the die size and power considerations.
Another approach is to allow a single processor to execute multiple threads by
switching between them. Time slice multithreading is where the processor switches
between software threads after a fixed time period. Time slice multithreading can
result in wasted execution slots but can effectively minimize the effects of long
latencies to

It would be useful to know the distance between a gun fired and its target because
if you know the distance you might be able to find more clues as to who did it by
looking at where the shooter shoot the victim. 3. If you were in charge of retrieving
bullets at a crime scene, what steps would you take to retrieve a bullet and take it to
the crime lab?
If I were in charge of retrieving bullets at a crime scene I d first I would have to
find a way to remove the bullet out while preserving any possible markings on the
bullet. Then the bullets can be placed into a marked container for identification
purposes. Then to transport the bullet to the crime laboratory, I d wrap the bullet in
tissue paper and placed in an envelope or pillbox. I would have to be careful with
the handling and packaging of the bullet, because I would have to be careful to
preserve any trace evidence that might be present on the bullet. 4. What are some of
the challenges in analyzing tool marks?
Some of the challenges in analyzing tool marks is it is difficult to duplicate the
marks left by tools through tests in the laboratory and tool marks may not always
give individual characteristics. 5. What is the Doppler Effect? How can the Doppler

Ancient Assessment Agrippina by Sophie Mulley Describe Agrippina s
relationship with other members of the imperial court. (10 MARKS) Agrippina
was a formidable adversary. She had political allies at all levels, acquired during
Claudius reign, and she knew how to exploit her Augustan lineage and descent from
Germanicus to the full. Griffin Agrippina the younger is recognized as one of the
most ambitious women in history who encompasses a great desire for power, wealth
and supremacy. The Julio Claudian period was solely a patriarchal society, but this
didn t mean women could not hold any influence. It is in this period we see ambitious
women such as Agrippina attaining power through men. Agrippina chose specific

Though Pallas loyalty to Agrippina is questionable. Tacitus argues that they were
lovers saying that she used her sexuality to gain political power. Her manipulative
ways ensured the support she needed within the government to gain a powerful
position and influence for both her and her son in the state. In conclusion,
determining on the situation Agrippina was in she had made sure she had the support
she needed within the imperial court to push the boundaries as woman determined
for power. Thus it can be said Agrippina s relationship with other members of the
imperial court reflects the immense power and influence she had throughout her life.
Evaluate the impact and influence Agrippina had on her time. (15 MARKS)Let him
kill me, so long as he rules (Agrippina) Tacitus The move from the Republic system
to the principate, an autocratic system of government, meant the roles and status of
main groups and genders of society would inevitably change. Specifically we see the
traditional role of women change, going from the traditional matrona to an
independent imperial woman with a broadened influence over the state. Agrippina the
younger is exemplary of this change and is viewed as one of the most influential
women of her time. Ancient sources are hostile towards this power hungry figure
however modern revisionists give a deeper insight into the woman behind the hostile
accounts. Nether less both ancient and modern sources agree Agrippina had a

Modern Science Over The Course Of The Year
We have been reviewing modern science over the course of the year. But trying to
compare and contrast the transition between modern and contemporary. How has
contemporary changes impacted science, and the understanding. My view of
Modern science is material evidence to support theories and concepts. As we look at
philosophers closely connected with it, we get names like Copernicus, Galileo,
Newton, and Gottfriend Leibniz. Copernicus he is best known as the first astronomer
to posit the idea of a heliocentric solar system; a system in which the planets and
planetary objects orbit the sun. This can be backed up with physical observationfrom
a telescope. Galileo invented the telescope and made observations about the moon
around Jupiter. Newton is famous for discovering several laws and theories of physics
and motion that are collectively known as Newton s Laws. The laws that he is most
famous for are the first, second and third laws of motion and the universal law of
gravity. He has material evidence to back up these claims. And the evidence came
through experiments that are a main part of modern science. Gottfriend Leibniz is
probably most well known for having invented the differential and integral calculus
Some of the major ideas that caught my eye, one is the Fact value distinction that
radically separated facts (the sciences ) from values (the emotive or sentiment aspects
of human experience) emerged. Trying to back up facts with evidence that are more

Essay about The 1994 Baseball Strike
The 1994 Baseball Strike On August 12, 1994 professional baseball players went
on strike for the eighth time in the sports history. Since 1972, negotiations between
the union and owners over contract terms has led to major economic problems and
the absence of a World Series in 1994. All issues were open for debate due to the
expiration of the last contract. Until 1968, no collective bargaining agreement had
ever been reached between the owners and the players (Dolan 11). Collective
bargaining is the process by which union representatives for employees in a
bargaining unit negotiate employment conditions for the entire bargaining unit
(Atlantic Unbound). Instead, the players were at the mercy of each owner who

Two major issues led directly to the interruption and eventually the cancellation of
the entire season. After a 28 0 vote among the owners, they agreed to share revenue
on the condition they could get the players to accept a salary cap. The issue of
revenue sharing was directly linked to the salary cap. By taking this action, the
owners signaled they had come to realize the problem of disparity between big
market teams (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago) and small market teams (Seattle,
Pittsburgh, Milwaukee). The problem, however, was that because the owners
linked their revenue sharing with a salary cap, the players felt they were being
asked to solve the owners financial disparity problem. There is a noticeable
difference in team payrolls, as displayed in 1993, when the the payroll of the
Toronto Blue Jays was $48.4 million, compared with San Diego Padres payroll of
only $10.6 million (Layden 17). Therefore, the idea of revenue sharing, wherein
big market teams would transfer monies to the small market teams, was a good one,
but it caused disputes among the owners as to how the formula would be worked
out. Not all of the small market teams were in bad shape financially. In fact, some
that had built or were building new stadiums such as Baltimore, Cleveland, and Texas
were doing quite well. It was not until June 14, 1994, that the owners finally
presented their collective bargaining proposal, 18

Barbie s Negative Impact on Young Girls

perfect doll with a perfect lifestyle and look, but in reality she is ruining the self
esteem and lives of imperfect children. On average, a girl in the early stages of
childhoodowns about seven to ten different Barbie dolls and spends multiple hours
playing with them. This doll has not been a good role model for children because
the more time anyone spends time with anything, the more influence it has on them

Pleasant Valley Recreation Center, hereinafter referred to as Pleasant Valley, is an
old family bowling alley that introduced the sport of bowling to the blue ocean
community of Altoona, Pennsylvania. According to the plaque and picture on the
wall, Pleasant Valley opened in 1945 with just six bowling lanes. Under the
ownership of Robert Di Ventura Sr., Pleasant Valley expanded its bowling alley to
32 lanes, installed automatic pin setting machines, innovated to computerized
scoring, added an arcade, built a large snack bar, opened a separate lounge for
alcoholic beverage purchases, and transformed the floor beneath the bowling alley
into a complete restaurant for fine dining. The bowling alley also includes a pro
shop to sell equipment and drill bowling balls. Despite the many impressive
additions, the company s claim to fame is still bowling. League bowlers once
flooded the establishment every evening, and families frequented the lanes for the
many special offers and promotions. When the owner unfortunately passed away in
2001, his son soon took over the company in 2002.
As the current owner, Robert Di Ventura Jr. has failed to sustain the competitive
advantage over the local competition. Holiday Bowl opened in 1959 with 40 lanes

Maintaining Medical Documentation Essay
In any medical facility, the number one reason for maintaining medical
documentation is to ensure continuity of care for the patient. Good medical
documentation supports decent communication between patients and doctors for
different reasons. Recording all important information help the doctors monitor the
patient s medical history, develop the patient s treatment plan, and minimizes the
risks of errors being made. If there are any mistakes it can jeopardize the patient s
well being. It may also lead to malpractice lawsuits. In CMSW, the major problem I

the patients folder, I needed to be... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The folder would be set up as last name, first name, and middle initial if it is
applicable. Patients with the same last and first name will be differentiate by the
date of birth. For example, Gonzalez, Jaxon DOB 10/06/87 and Gonzalez, Jaxon
DOB 12/07/62. For those patients that have multiple DOAs (Date of accident),
within the folder, I would subdivide the folder with the specific DOA. That way
when scanning the document it goes into the specific DOA folder and it does not
get mix up with the other DOAs. For instance, let s say Gonzalez, Jaxon DOB 10
/06/87 has multiple DOAs, the subfolder would look like this: DOA 7/10/13, DOA
4/06/14, and DOA 10/24/15. Having the middle name initial is also important to
tell the difference between same named patients. I would also correct the
misspelled names by cross reference the patients spelling of the name with the
demographics/C 1 form to make sure the spelling is correct. If it is not correct than
I would edit the folder. For example, the folder is named Jaxson Gonzalez, but in the
demographic it says Jaxon Gonzalez; so I would change the folder name to the correct

The child s information will only be kept in this file and must be kept up to date
with all records of concern. Copies of referrals, invitations to the child protection
conferences, core groups and reports will also be stored here.
When the child has left the school, the SDP has to contact the new school to make

Esteem
Self esteem is the central component of every individual s daily life experiences.
Self esteem can be defined as a person s evaluation of the self, e.g. I am not
satisfied with me or I like me. We perform self evaluations on ourselves everyday; it
is a non conscious process where as only the individual knows the end result.
Important domains affect us, and unimportant domains do not (things tailored
specifically to the individual). When an individual experiences an emotional gut
feeling , the individual feels either good or bad about themselves. As human beings,
we have a fundamental need for motives of self inclusion (Franzoi 59). Self esteem ...

Procrastination is a form of self handicapping that can be applied to almost any
aspect in one s life. The most common thread of procrastination is fear; fear of
failure, fear of unpleasant or painful experiences, and the fear of missing out.
When you fear failure you are prone to avoid involve yourself to begin with. Out of
the fear of failing and looking bad, they would often spend vast amounts of time on
a project without making any real progress because at a subconscious level they
don t want to finish a finished project will make them vulnerable for criticism and
consequently failure (Klassen et al. 918) If an procrastinator believes that a task is
going to be an undesirable experience then they will feel constrained not to do it.
All these fears can lead a person to self handicap. A lot of times, a person who
might both self handicap and procrastinate, will use drugs and/alcohol to utilize
their actions; an example is drinking the night before an exam. This individual, who
chooses to go out before the exam, is giving themselves an excuse to why they will
not do well on this exam. This is an easy way for this person to maintain their self
esteem level. Baumeister allows me to introduce this concept (409)
Procrastination predicts higher levels of consumption of alcohol among those people
who drink. Procrastinators drink more than they intend to a manifestation of

Depending on your undergraduate studies there may be no requirement for a

Additionally, graphic organizers have been proven to improve learning outcomes
in many students. There are many different kinds of graphic organizers that can be

Mr. Mechanic s classroom, and network trees that I observed in Mr. Scott Colvin
and Ms. Abbe Katz s classrooms. A Venn Diagram consist of two large circles with
separate topics and an intersecting middle area where the relations between ideas are
written. In Mr. Mechanic s tenth grade English class the circles focused on literary
elements contained in two poems. In the middle section, Mr. Mechanic had the
students discuss the literary elements that were found in both of these works. The
use of this Venn diagram helped the students better understand each individual
section, as well as recognize the way certain elements can be used in multiple
ways. (Observe class notes 6, 8) Both Mr. Colvin, in his eleventh grade English
class, and Ms. Katz, in her ninth grade advanced English class, utilized network
trees. In Mr. Colvin s class, it was used to help examine characteristics of leadership.

Alcanivorax borkumensis is a bacteria that found in aquatic areas of the world. It is
an unusual bacteria because it has the ability to break down oil found in the oceans.
In the following pages, I will discuss the size and shape of the bacteria. Also, I will
discuss how the bacteria s environment and its unusual ability may help mankind in
controlling pollution of the world s oceans.
First, we will discuss the basic makeup of the bacteria. A. borkumensis is a rod
shaped bacteria with no flagella that was discovered in 1998. It is aerobic and
halophilic, meaning it gains energy from oxygen and tends to thrive in salty
environments, such as seas and oceans. Also, A. borkumensis is considered an
alkane degrader, as it can eat alkanes, and use this as a source of energy
(Alcanivorax, n.d.). A single A. borkumensis is 2.0 to 3.0 micrometers in length;
unless they survived solely on an n alkane diet, where they were found to only be

Merck s Case Ethical
Merck Case Study
October 14, 2008
Relevant Facts:
Merck was one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Merck was
about to lose patent protection of two of its best selling drugs, which had been a
significant part of their $2 billion annual sales. Merck began putting millions of
dollars into research (up to $1 billion) and within three years, Merck was able to
discover four powerful medications. Profits weren t all that Merck cared about;
Merck s founder believed that medicine is for people. It is not for the profits. He also
believed that following the medicine is for people philosophy would lead to profits
and had yet to fail. River Blindness is caused by parasitic worms, which can be
found in ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In application, people might view Merck s duties in different ways. For example,
one might argue that as a company Merck only has responsibilities to release
effective and safe medications and to make a profit to stay in business. On the other
hand, it could be argued that as a pharmaceutical company Merck has special
obligations to follow leads (like ivermectin) because they may greatly benefit human
beings or save lives despite being unprofitable.
Utilitarianism is relevant to the Merck Co. case in that it would have been important
for Merck to predict whether researching the drug further, or playing it safe with
other research, would produce the greatest benefit for the largest number of people.
One side would argue that while river blindness patients are poor, treatment would
be of great benefit to those infected (and their families/communities), so research is
warranted. On the other hand, one might argue that it would be of equal or greater
benefit to research medications for more common diseases where patients can afford
medication. They may also argue that if the company went out of business as a result
of ivermectin research that more people would be harmed from the loss of Merck s
other research and medications.
Also, the Rights theory is appropriate in this case, because one might argue that
basic human rights are involved. Merck might be responsible to do research with
ivermectin if it s decided that some basic right is being broken.

Difference Between Man And Women In Virginia Woolf s
To...
In To the Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf successfully denotes the discernible difference
in time perception regarding two genders man and woman. Man, particularly depicted
by Mr. Ramsay, perceives geologic time whereas woman, represented by Mrs.
Ramsay, holds the notion of time depending on consciousness.
To begin with, Mr. Ramsay sees time as it goes by the clock due to his realistic
viewpoint on the world as well as his self centered concern. He realizes that time
lapses every minute the clock s finger move; therefore, he continually worries about
future, when his philosophic works might sink into oblivion. He expresses little
concern about trivial moment by flatly refusing his son s request to go to the
lighthouse. But , said his father [Mr. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Ramsay regards time dependent on consciousness rather than how it is measured
by the clock, due to her caring and profound characteristics. In contrast with Mr.
Ramsay, Mrs. Ramsay preserves every trivial moment, depicted through her
manners and thoughts at the seemingly everlasting wonderful dinner. She seems to
exert control over time, render the dinner in order and peaceful by subtly
comforting her guests as she believes it is a woman s duty to do so. It partook, she
felt, carefully helping Mr. Bankes to a specially tender piece, [...] so that again
tonight she had the feeling she had had once today, already, of peace, of rest (311).
Mrs. Ramsay s typical feminine traits of abundant consideration urges her to turn
temporary moment to psychological permanence. As Paul Tolliver Brown states in
Relativity, Quantum Physics, and Consciousness in Virginia Woolf s To the
Lighthouse , Mrs. Ramsay s greatest achievement of unification in the novel is
relativistic and occurs at the dinner table where she orders her environment like a
large body of mass influencing the curvature of spacetime. In other words, she seems
to distort the concept of time. Furthermore, Mrs. Ramsay embodies unorthodox
approach of time by regarding time as felt in mind rather than measured on the clock.
She depicts complex stream of consciousness to incorporate her inward feelings into
silent conversation; therefore, it creates an impression of time extending further

What Are Bradbury s Predictions In Fahrenheit 451
In Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury predicted the way that society would develop due
to technology in the future and surprisingly, some of his predictions were not too far
from the truth. Bradbury predicts society beginning to stop reading books in favor
of screens. A prediction is also made telling of the rise of self censorshipfor the sake
of political correctness. War is predicted to become a depersonalized affair as it
becomes so distant from the public. Some people say that Bradbury s predictions
did not predict the way the world is today. Though this may seem like a reasonable
assumption at first there are a few flaws with this statement. In reality, Bradbury was
truly ahead of his time and his predictions actually have in many cases come... Show

Killed jumping off buildings, yes, like gloria s husband last week, but from wars?
No (Bradbury 90 1). Here bradburry is predicting that our society will think of war
as being so frequent that it becomes a mere formality like a business trip whilst we
focus too heavily on other problems at home. This has come to be a major part of
the world today as we tend to send only drones or air forces into battle these days
as we do not like using ground troops unless absolutely necessary. Though this
aspect of the problem is not negative in and of itself the public begins to think that
war is somehow not very important in their daily lives as it seems so de
personalized with machines raining hell on the enemy from above in distant
lands. This has certainly become prevalent in our society as we focus too much on
what is going on at home. Many people do not believe that Bradbury s predictions
were inaccurate as we have not gotten into multiple full scale nuclear wars in the
present day and the fact that people are still aware of these conflicts going on
today. Though this is true that we have not gotten into full scale nuclear wars or
forgotten about conflicts abroad Bradbury is not predicting nuclear wars becoming
commonplace. Rather, Bradbury is predicting that wars will become so
commonplace and distant that the public thinks of them as a trivial week to week
occurrence. This is not to say we are not cognizant of them, however society views
many of the current conflicts as less of a concern than all the problems at home
when in reality every war can have major impacts on the world as a

Clothing In Julius Caesar Essay

Ancient Roman Clothing
During the time of Julius Caesar s ruling, Rome has acquired their own style of
clothing from Ancient Greeks. Most clothing at the time were made out of wool, as it
is the most resourceful material at the time. Although there are distinctions between
men and women s clothing, most of what they wear are the same. Their clothing also
symbolizes different social statuses and rankings in the empire.
Roman men often wore tunics and togas. Tunics are the equivalent of undergarments
to the people of Ancient Rome. They serve as a protection of the body. Most tunics
are shaped as a larger rectangle, often made out of wool. Togas are the outer layer
that worn on top of the tunica.

Big Two Hearted River Modernism Essay
Big Two Hearted River by Ernest Hemingway is a prime example of Modernist
writing. The main character Nick embarks on a quest for self discovery away from
his fragmented society. After the war, Nick returns to a society with a loss of old
values, structures, and beliefs. Therefore, Nick isolates himself in the wilderness
upon returning. The reader experiences Nick s post war mentality, and sees the
struggles Nick faces with anxiety about the unknown. It is clear that Nick s journey
represents the modernist search for individuality in the midst of a broken society.
While alone by the water, Nick witnesses a trout. Although it is just a simple trout,
the way in which it moves provides a strong sense of meaning:
A big trout shot upstream in a long angle, only his shadow marking the angle, then
lost his shadow as he came through the surface of the water, caught the sun, and then,
as he went back into the stream under the surface, his shadow seemed to float down
the stream with the current, unresisting, to his post under the bridge where he
tightened facing up into the current. ( Big Two Hearted River: Part I 1202)
The fact that the trout swims upstream is significant in itself. This type of fish travels
while fighting against current. This scene offers symbolism. The trout represents
Nick, and the water symbolizes society. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Nick shows that he possesses this trait when he fishes. Nick did not like to fish
with other men on the river. Unless they were part of your party, they spoiled it (
Big Two Hearted River Part II 1209). His desire for self isolation is a trait for the
hero of modernism. Modernist heros are often alienated due to the brokenness of
society. Since Nick wants to fish alone, it shows how he prefers to stray away from
socialization. In addition, being alone grants Nick with a better opportunity to find
himself as an individual in his fragmented

Laser Safety
Lasers in the classes IIIa and IIIb are capable of causing damage to the eye when a
laser in one of these classes is directly exposed to a person s eye, or in some cases,
when reflecting off of a smooth surface. Class IIIa lasers have a power output of less
than 5 mW, whereas class IIIb lasers can have a power output between 5 and 500
mW, and thus high power class IIIb lasers can be a fire hazard and cause minor burns

internal locus of control tend naturally to accept the responsibility and blame for
their failures and selections. According to Monroe and Oliviere (2007), people
believe that their behaviors are guiding by their personal choices and efforts unit.
This attitude can make you depressed, which I think is negative for an internal locus

carried out. Those who have control of the personal way to look the life, understand,
if something is not as planned, may have had something to do wrong reasoning of

expounds the many topics that would influence that commentary. The World of
Jesus and the World of Mark, the filters and models of that social world, the cross
cultural history and the socio economic tensions of both worlds are all considered.
The Jewish War is also a point to consider in that it occurs around the time of writing
and most of the historicity comes from the works of Josephus. The major point to

The hypotheses on how this Gospel originated are many and varied. The continuity of
the actual message of the story of the life of Jesus seems, it would be generally
agreed, to hinge on the Gospel of Mark being a source for the other Synoptic gospels
at least. Much argument has also gone on about the place and time of writing of
Mark and how this influences the traditioning or the handing on of the story. How
the original written version came to be from the oral process is also a cause for the
concern as regards continuity of the story. Was it faithfully translated?
Nineham states that Jesus very character was determined by the particular
circumstances in which the tradition was handed down. Those who kept it shaped the
tradition itself. They had their own motives and beliefs and these have influenced the
tradition that has brought out the character of Jesus as we know today (Nineham
1986: 21).
This traditioning was a process that began by orally recounting the story at private or
public gatherings. The public gatherings being more favoured because preachers or
teachers, that is those entrusted with the traditioning process, would have told the
story at worship or catechumen gatherings (Nineham 1986: 22).
As is sometimes the practice with preaching today so it may have been in the first
century. Anyone telling the story would be driven by a particular need of the time,
for example if a message on good neighbours was needed then the

Causes Of The Achievement Gap
An article from The Journal of Negro Education in the winter of 1960 attests similarly
the causes of the achievement gap so noticeable in the 21st Century. After the
Supreme Court decision to integrate public schooling, a Superintendent of a city
under court order[s] to integrate its schools noted an overall increase in the building
of schools primarily meant for African Americans than of white schools in the state.
This was not an attempt to assist the continually burdened African American school
system, but instead their best hope to maintain separate schools and keep segregation
ongoing as long as possible. However, more recent studies attest to the growing
knowledge available in combating such inadequate teaching practices. In

Comparing Martin Luther King Jr. And Non-Violence
I prefer Martin Luther King Jr s side of supporting non violence. This is because I
think that using brutality as a way of carrying out acts of violence is more difficult
than peaceful protests. I think Martin Luther King Jr. appeals to the youth of our
country because he is a good example of how people can approach a difficult situation
with non violence. Martin Luther King Jr. has been the official spokesman for the
activists who support the Montgomery Bus Boycott. This boycott was successful
because it placed a severe economic strain on the downtown bus systems and
downtown business owners in Montgomery, Alabama. After the boycott s success,

INTRODUCTION:
In Present scenario, the nature of work has been changed so much as compare to
nature of work in 19th century and this nature is continuously changing with the
advancement of technology. This article explores some key points of what changes
have been occurred in workplace and how these changes affect the managers and
working team of the company. And what other change we expect in the coming years.
Following are the few key points of changes in work place:
1)Improving Efficiency and Productivity: With the use of new technologies,
efficiency of doing work has been improved.The number of workers has been
decreased in the work place with the introduction of machines. Like in Tesla
Motors Company of USA, maximum work of making cars from raw material to
finishing has been done with the help of robots. Tesla has robots of all sizes from
tiny to huge one. Robots are more efficient and productive because they do work
with less mistakes and less time.
2)Change in Speed of work: Introduction of new machines and technologies also
enhance the speed of doing work. The work which takes number of hours to
complete, now it can be completed in few minutes or in few seconds (Burke and
Ng) for example in BMW manufacturing, Robots do Painting in just few seconds,
they produce 1000 finished BMW s a day at Munich and in Tesla Motors Robots
complete finishing of one part in only 6 seconds which require more time if I do it
with our hands. So the technology has increased the

Abortion Is The Argument Of Abortion
Constitutional Right to Abortion in the United States
The constitution, being written by men, only originally concerned the freedom of
men. Since women were brought into the mix for increasing equality, they are legally
allowed the same rights as any other citizen. One issue concerning the rights of
women is the argument of abortion laws. It is debated about whether it is an ethical
and morally just procedure and whether it violates the fetus s rights or a woman s
freedom of her own body. Most people either agree that women should be allowed
to decide on an abortion over pregnancy and some oppose abortions completely.
Before 1973, abortion was widely illegal. Since then, several cases have challenged
women s rights to abortions, and changed the laws for all states. Today, abortion is
legal in all states, because of the Supreme Court Case known as Roe v. Wade (1973).
This proved that abortions are a constitutional right guaranteed in the Constitution.
Although no state now has the power to go against this, they can make it harder to
get the procedure. The option of abortion gives a women security if she cannot
support a baby. It is also safer than pregnancy and is much cheaper as well. Babies
are incredibly large responsibilities and they should not be seen has inevitable
mistakes by women who felt obligated to keep them. A child brought into this world
should be nurtured and does not deserve to be abandoned at birth. Abortion is a way
to avoid suffering and negative

Security Measures For The Port Of Boston Essay
Described as a weakness in security, vulnerabilities represent a gap or exposure in
the protection of an asset that can lead to damage or destruction... (Edwards
Goodrich, 2013, p. 12). Much like other transportation systems, the Port of Boston
has several vulnerabilities that must be adequately addressed in order to properly
secure the port. The top three vulnerabilities to the Port of Boston are listed below.
Cyber related vulnerabilities present the greatest risk to the Port of Boston. Conley
Terminal s reliance on networked systems to plan, manage and execute daily port
operations makes it vulnerable to a number of cyber related threats including
network hacking and viruses. Although cyber awareness has steadily increased
over the years, Kramek (2013) points out that cybersecurity awareness in U.S. port
facilities [is] generally low [and] the cybersecurity culture in U.S. port facilities is
generally lacking (p. 27). This could be for a number of reasons, but is generally
attributed to a ports focus on MTSA required physical securitymeasures (Kramek,
2013, p. 27) and the fact that cyberattacks on port facilities are exceedingly rare.
Failure to address this critical vulnerability could affect a number of seaside and
portside systems including industrial control, navigation and communication systems
on a shipand terminal operating systems and business operating systems at the port.
