Synopsis A

I agree with some parts of Synopsis A that refers to a chain of command being created to ensure a more systematic management of the Band of Merrymen. However, I believe that the solution does not provide specifics as to how revenues can be collected. I believe that it would be best to place leaders nearby the towns so that they can be easily identified by the wealthy, which will then lead them to avoid the areas where they know that the band’s leaders are located. I think that the solution is incomplete without ...

Impact Mitigation

Intelligent locomotive bumper designs have been touted as possible life-savers for pedestrians. Paden, Kelly, Hines, Botham and Simms explored the feasibility of a life-saving locomotive bumper (103). There were several motivations behind their paper. Perhaps the most important one was the high number of pedestrians that were killed every year in train impacts. Between the years 2007 and 2012, about 10,950 non-suicide deaths were attributed to train impact on humans. Including suicide deaths on railroads, 28,800 pedestrians were killed during that 6-year period. Also, Paden et al., noted that passenger trains served densely populated areas ( ...

On November 5, 2009, the son of Palestinian immigrants, Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan randomly fired into a crowd at a processing center at Fort Hood, the largest active-duty military post in the country (Army Major kills, n.d.). One would be hard pressed to find a larger military stage to conduct such blatant murder. Despite the Major shouting ‘God is great’ in Arabic, “Allahu Akbar”, just before he opened fire on soldiers who were either returning from deployment, or getting ready to be deployed, there was a denial by the government to officially label the shooting as an act ...

Human beings cannot act without assumptions and inferences (Paul and Elder, 2015). Based on the assumptions and inferences, we make conclusions and then firm beliefs about the issue.

"I'm glad there's some folks gettin' interested in the old ways.

Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution to yield 4-Bromoacetanilide

Introduction Halogenation is a common process in organic synthesis. It is used in industrial and research synthesis as halogenated compounds are used for numerous widely used goods, including plastics. The lab aimed to perform monohalogenation of acetanilide. The reaction is specific since it is performed without catalyst. The typical halogenation is realized in presence of Lewis acid. Halogens molecules are electrophilic, and do not actively react. In presence of Lewis acid, the interaction is rather active.2 The lab used catalyst-free halogenation. The acetanilide molecule contains the acylated amine. As a result, the electronic density is shifted towards the amine ...

Patient-centered care also places a focus on the relationships between the patient and their family, recognizing them as one inseparable unit. This focus has allowed patient-centered care to focus on the needs of the patients and their families, including the visitation procedure that is most suited to that particular case (Riley, White, Graham & Alexandrov, 2014). As such, patient-centered care provides an opportunity for all stakeholders in healthcare to provide a ...

Scholars agree that films are useful tools that can be used to unveil the realities of varied societies. This is evidenced by John Singleton in the film Boys N the Hood where he offers an important account of real experiences of the black community, and, particular, black males who reside in the poverty-ravaged South Los Angeles neighborhood. The core of this film is an interaction and relationship between three black males and through them, the audience can view with clarity the reality of racism, indifference, increasing disintegration of the black community and rampant violence.

Outside of Gettysburg and Vicksburg, the most significant event of the Civil War wasn’t Lee’s surrender at Appomattox. General William Tecumseh Sherman launched total war by marching through Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee, burning bridges and farms on their way.

Sherman’s plan was approved, and he captured Atlanta in November. Sherman then had a difficult choice to make. He was supposed to turn north and pin General Lee’s troops after continuing south, but was ...

Question #2 It might be argued that the character of Ned Kelly is a Robin Hood-like character. A 19th century outlaw, Carey illustrates him as the conventional bad guy with positive qualities. This is why it can be said that Kelly is a Robin Hood like character, as Robin Hood executed certain aspects that were not necessarily morally correct, or ethically right - but nevertheless allowed for positive outcomes. Much of the novel consists of Ned encountering bad luck and being manipulated and lied to. As such, he is forced into the seemingly bad guy lifestyle ending up in ...

In the contemporary workplace environment, leadership forms have evolved so much that the bureaucratic forms have lost value as they had before.

In the current context and the modern world, leadership is more focused on building relationships, understanding needs, feelings, emotions, values and beneficiaries with the board, the personnel and the customers ...

Producer, rapper, musician, designer – all these are different shades of one person, whose name is Kanye West. We believe that the contribution of Mr. West to the African American Renaissance culture cannot be overestimated as he completely changed the approach to making the hip-hop music and made the audience of people, who listen to hip-hop, far wider thanks to the diversity of the sounding in his songs. Also, he looked at the new role of African Americans in society and their image, showing that African American rappers are not gangsters from the hood with the Uzi in their bosom ...

Introduction The purpose of this lab was to find the amount and percentage of nickel present in an unknown compound using the "mole method." The unknown nickel compound was dissolved in water and treated with dimethylglyoxime and ammonia solutions to obtain the precipitate of known chemical composition (bis(dimethylglyoximo)nickel(II)), which then was weighed and using this data the amount and percentage of nickel in the initial compound were found. The insoluble Ni(DMG)2 complex is formed in two steps. First, the dimethylglyoxime reacts with hydroxide ion formed through the ammonia hydrolysis to produce dimethylglyoximate anion: C4H8N2O2( ...

In an era when emojis have become words, 140-character tweets have become essays, and pictures have become stories, it is easier than ever before for an object to take on stereotypical symbolism. Despite the fact that we have more access to information than we have ever had at any earlier point in human history, the sheer amount of the information is overwhelming, particularly because so much comes at us at one time. So we have less time to give to each incoming stimulus, and it is easier for objects to take on stereotypical meaning. One object that has taken ...

Airborne hazards in the workplace cause illness and fatalities when dust and chemicals are inhaled at a workplace (UKHSE 2015).

It is difficult to measure the positive or negative effects of emotional development because for one, young people can only show us physiological differences and for two, many of the psycho-social influences do not manifest themselves until later in life and are then also conglomerations of one another and thereby makes it very difficult to realistically pinpoint causal mechanisms. What is needed however, is to then mark what is a common desire for individuals and parents to have in others and children. Ultimately, maturity is a sufficient umbrella term that could serve as an effective mark, but currently, modern ...

As Flannery put it, finding out how to choose someone you intend to spend your life with “can be scary to say the least, that is if you take commitment seriously.”

The conventional wisdom says that you should date as many prospective candidates as you can in the hope that at some stage you will recognize that ...

Again, the book claims that this possibility is true.
