Introduction

In modern democracies in general and American in particular, the key principles to constitutional democracy is the separation of powers and rule of law. These principles are damaged by the administrative state where much power is vested in unelected government officials or bureaucrats. In a political system with separation of powers like that of the United States of America, the constitution divides policy making powers among the three branches of government. The Congress is charged with the responsibility of making laws, the executive branch is charged with the implementation of the laws formulated by Congress while the judiciary interprets Continue reading...

Soap manufacturers develop various products that include conventional soaps and antibacterial soaps to address today’s microbial threats.

Scientific approach to investigate the effectiveness of antibacterial soaps begins with the hypothesis that antibacterial soap reduces more bacterial contamination compared to the conventional (non-antibacterial) soap. The two hypotheses are:

It was just another cold day in the frozen land. But my instincts were signalling that it was not a day to travel. The weather seemed gloomy and perilous. Though I was warm in my hirsute, yet I wanted to sit by some fire. It was better to nestle in under a mound of snow and safeguard my balminess. To walk miles on such a day did not seem fascinating at all. Seemed foolish in fact! But something quelled my intuition and drove me to walk along this human- a man with queer actions. I felt a bout of nebulous disquiet which probed me to walk along the heels of this well-covered man- so many thick and dark casings sheathed his legs, hands and ears- his entire body. What was he doing outside? Why does not he stay at where his folks do and cuddle next to a fire? Instead he is trotting around, behaving patiently yet strangely and spitting in the air. I didn’t know exactly what he was up to but one thing was for sure- he would make fire soon. Humans do that so easily. But even with that calibre, it was not a day to travel for him or me. Still, driven by the vague apprehension and expecting to sit by fire, I followed this man. Continue reading...

Modern fiction has often been marked by experts as being defined by the rise of first-person narration. First-person narration offers a variety of advantages to the author, but in addition to having advantages, it also offers unique pitfalls for writers who are utilizing it when they are creating fiction. The problem with the first-person narrative is that the “I”-- the speaker, the narrator of the piece-- must be compelling and believable, even if he or she is unreliable as a narrator. Everyone has an internal monologue, and if the narrator’s internal monologue strays too far from what Continue reading...

Perception is defined as the way people interpret these sensations and thus making sense of the surrounding. It is worth noting that sensation refers to something that people can feel whereas perception refers to something that can be seen. Sensation is mainly a Continue reading...
