Opera has not escaped the technological advancements and as such, new forms of opera have emerged in both digital and virtual formats (Symonds & Karantonis, 2013). Salter (2010) explains that since the 1990s, the scenography of opera has emerged with technological advancements transforming stages into video and monitor accompaniments. The obvious payoff is an enhanced experiential, virtual reality of the opera’s stage. The new technologies blur the lines between the opera’s stage and the motion picture common in ...

Turner’s syndrome is a genetic disorder which mainly affects female growth and development. It is also termed as gonadal dysgenesis which occurs because of the absence of sex chromosome (X). The absence of the X chromosome causes abnormal development in human females.

This odd combination of chromosomal pairing results in a conflicted sex of the person, where they are neither distinguished as male or female, due to the absence of the second X chromosome that would establish them ...

Foremost, about the losses that the Westerners caused in countries with which they came into contact, imperialism revolved around perceptions of white supremacy. The possession of white skin became the ticket one needed to guarantee his or her place among the civilized nations while that of any other shade belonged to a lower class. Surprisingly, while signs of the given perceptions were present even when the Portuguese used religion as a cause for exploration and domination of the world in the seventeenth century, it was not until the mid-nineteenth century that the West found conclusive proof. In 1859, Charles ...

The Mars Climate Orbiter: A Multimillion Dollar Mistake

The Story Grossman (1999) addresses the incident of NASA’s Mars Climate Orbiter in her article named “Metric Math Mistake Muffed Mars Meteorology Mission”. She explains how a simple unit conversion mistake caused the Orbiter to burn up in the Martian atmosphere. The vessel costed NASA a whopping $125 million when it vanished into the Martian atmosphere. The problem, later identified by a NASA review board, owed to a software glitch. The software was used to calculate the thrust in “pounds of force” while the other software took the input in “newtons”. This happened due to the fact that ...

Background

Domestic violence has occurred for as long as their has been a written record. This is evidenced by laws, usually permitting it, throughout antiquity. It has most likely existed since humanity began, as it is observed in our closest genetic relatives, and seems to be stimulated by very primal parts of the brain. The Journal of the American Medical association began to describe battered child syndrome in the 1960’s, and between the beginning of humanity and when domestic abuse began to be described as a societal problem, little if anything was done. Since then, the United States has ...

Diseases like pre-eclampsia can strike women of any age and with any socioeconomic background. The issues associated with pre-eclampsia are global, but there are certain populations that are more heavily impacted than others—and these populations are the ones that require investigation (Sibai, Dekker & Kupferminc, 2005). Pre-eclampsia is a condition that is associated with high maternal blood pressure and protein in maternal urine, but it is a ...

There is a lot of debate in the government and scholarly sphere when it comes to when to and how to incarcerate people. A subdivision of that argument comes down to the actual housing that a prisoner is kept in while they are in prison. One method that is used for inmates who commit certain acts, either inside of or outside of prison, is solitary confinement. While this is deemed to be a way to prevent a prisoner from being a danger to others or even himself/herself while in prison, there are many that say that solitary confinement for ...

Introduction

As the business world is getting more complex, it is imperative that businesses should learn different ways of verbal and non-verbal communication so that their messages are properly interpreted. There is a growing importance of learning non-verbal communication because people come from different cultures and their upbringing determines their comfort level.

In addition to this, strategies for training employees in haptics and proxemics are also discussed in this paper.

Tiny Feet by Gabriela Mistral

Poetry was always the way to express yourself, to scream aloud about things that worry an author. So does Gabriela Mistral in the poem “Tiny Feet”. The topic of poverty is very familiar to her – “she was not from a moneyed elite background, but from an impoverished provincial middle-class family” (Miller, 2005). That influenced her poetry in a whole, as she tries to warn others about the terrible state of poverty. The whole form of the poem is interesting. It consists of six stanzas; each stanza contains four lines. They all share the same scheme – three full lines, and ...

On the other hand, in an indirect discrimination, a practice or standard poses disadvantage on certain individuals or groups.

INTRODUCTION

There was a time when the world was almost entirely covered by forests, marshes, mountains and rainforests however, as human societies became more and more industrialized and the population continued to grow more and more natural environments were cleared to accommodate housing needs of people, the grazing lands for animals, room for human industries, and the obtaining of natural energy resources, like coal and oil. This is a reality for many states in the United States. That being said there are many people who have never spent a single day surrounded by authentic nature. It was in the 1860s ...

I agree with you on both points that you make. I do think that healing gardens in a working environment could stimulate productivity and activity, especially to those that are open to receiving, or made aware of, the positive energies that a healing garden generates. That is to say, for those people that are not open to the idea, there is likely not much that they will see and feel in a healing garden. I recall once having a talk with friends that had travelled to Japan and said that had the opportunity to stay at a Buddhist temple. ...

Historically, men have always dominated areas that focused on the military. It was normal for a man to be expected to protect women and children and to take part in military activities as men were considered the head of the household and drafted into the army. A man’s physique helped to support the reasoning behind such sexist decisions. Men were large and muscular. They were unlike women as they were considered to be someone that was physically strong. Women, on the other hand, were expected to take on other roles that required them to take care of the ...

Weighing machines have long been used for measuring weights of various objects. The basic principle behind weight measurement is balancing of force due to gravity of an object with some known standard. You could easily find weight of small objects by using standard weighing balances having pair of pans i.e. one carrying the object to be weighed and the other is used to put loads of known weights until machine is balanced. This method cannot be applied on large scales involving heavy machinery, vehicles, or even humans. Another traditional method of weighing involves balancing force of an object due ...

Understanding the concept of Heart Failure

Heart failure (HF) can be defined as a condition wherein the heart fails to pump sufficient blood to the body at the appropriate pressure. In other heart failure cases, the heart is unable to fill enough blood or the heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to other parts of the body with the desired force.
