I woke this morning to the smell of fresh coffee; a regular brew of freshly crushed beans from which I draw enough energy to manage through the first hours of the day. After hastily downing two cups full of the concoction, I made my way to the bathroom for my morning ritual. Taking the small brush from my collection of cosmetics, I applied a small amount of the sticky white substance that is supposed to keep my teeth from rotting (at least temporarily). That may have been the single most important thing that I did this morning to ensure ...

1.0 Introduction Only 2% of the water on earth is fresh water (Symons, 2001). The rest is primarily saline and hence cannot be used for consumption, or other applications in the home (e.g., cleaning or washing). Most households rely on piped water from municipalities (Kahramaa), whereas others are sourced from independent water purifications plants, private wells or even from rain water. With a growing global population there are increasing pressures on the world’s fresh water supply. As such, water conservation has become critically important, particularly in regions where the water table is low, and other fresh water sources ...

Symphony

Their voices are like bells, ringing out through the air in a clarion call of frantic joy. The air is silken and warm around me, caressing me with gentle tendrils of wind, as soft as a child’s hands. The grass is smooth, velvet, the pure green of an emerald held up to the light, and it smells of fresh mornings, and new growing things. The children play, moving in free strides of careless abandon, their small hands wrapping around the monkey bars, the chains of the swings as they push themselves skyward. The sun is bright, and as warm as ...

The five adverts selected for the purposes of this paper primarily appeal to a sense of machismo (sexual desirability) as well as affiliation associated with the use of the respective products. According to Fowles (1998), the appeal to sex comes through in a subtle manner, which in turn makes the audience not feel as if it is being manipulated into buying the product, coupled by fact that explicit reference to sex risks obliterating the product information. According to Fowles (1998, p. 1), “there is always the danger that as in the case of sex, if the appeal is too blatant public ...

Fever is a common distressing symptom in patients. Elevations in normal body temperature are instigated by prostaglandins exerting their effect on the hypothalamus in the event of cellular injury (Scrase & Tranter, 2011).

To achieve safe and effective care, the chosen nursing interventions must be based on evidence. Thus, established practice must continually be evaluated against current evidence to ensure accountability. An interview with a registered nurse, with answers to the questions summarized below, reveals the common fever management practices in a pediatric unit. The interventions ...

Even though it is mostly forgotten today, the ‘long, hot summer’ of 1919 was one of the worst ever for racial violence in the United States, and in Chicago the rioting became so intense that it was in reality a state of racial warfare and a total breakdown in social order.

In the end, at least 38 people died, over 500 were wounded and more than 1,000 burned out of their homes, although the true ...

Autism refers to an intricate developmental disability (Bryna, 2008, pp 24). It is known to appear in children within their first three years of life.

Evolution of the Renaissance Style

Through the history, human perception of reality and subsequently depiction of it had evolved just human civilization itself. The divine world perception of Middle Ages was embodied in the Byzantine art and painting style, in which the main emphasis was placed on worshipping and divine nature of saints, making them as unreachable to a mortal being as the very comprehension of God Himself. Finally, human world perception was ready for the next step – self-realization and humanization of art in all of its perspectives, even such matters as saints and religious descriptions. Thus, the era of Renaissance and contemporary human-centric world ...
