Autoenthography

When presenting one’s self as a presidential hopeful, everything from policies to speaking voice is important. It is possible, however, that in accordance with propriety, we have become too caught up with how candidates act, or how they speak, and are not concerned enough with what they want to do, or what they will actually do. In some cases we are not concerned enough with what they have already done, as well. In the cases of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, we find very good examples of this. Throughout their debates over the course of the presidential primaries, ...

Michael was doing what he was always doing on a Thursday night. He was seated comfortably in his armchair in the living room watching his favourite TV show, is home-made spaghetti Bolognese on his lap, and a cold beer on the table next to him. Mike was one of those guys, a creature of habit. Living alone for 3 years does that to you, I guess. Every weekday evening he would come home from work at somewhere between 5:30 and 6 pm, say hello to his cat Pontius, who didn’t seem to care whether he came home or ...

Introduction

On 17 May 2011, the Kentucky Supreme Court decided that warrantless searches for drug related arrests were acceptable and did not violate the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution (Doyle, 2011). This landmark judgment concluded the controversial argument for a search under exigent circumstances (Stamm, 2013). However, this judgment opened a different assortment of problems that subject US citizens to anarchy and undue harassment from the law enforcement community. The judgment’s interpretation by the police is questionable. It now encourages police departments to break into homes unannounced because of probable cause. They also know that evidence from such ...

Book Review: “Pointers to Insight” by Soko Morinaga Roshi

It was some time in 100 AD that Mahayana Buddhism of India began to enter China through the merchants that travelled the sea through the Silk Road towards the land of India (Andreasen 5). Three mainstreams began to take form (i.e., Ch’an Buddhism, Cheng-yen Buddhism, and Pure Land Buddhism), as it emphasized how human beings had had the ability to free themselves through meditation. By 500 AD, Ch’an Buddhism reached the shores of Japan, where it was called Zen Buddhism—using the word Zen to mean meditation (Andreasen 6). Thus, Buddhism in Japan became well developed by ...

[Author Name] Value Added vs. Non-value added smartphone features from a consumer perspective. In lean manufacturing, value-added features or activities are those that physically alter the character of the shape of an assembly or product. Non-value added features are those that do not change an assembly or product and are therefore referred to as waste. However, even this simple definition falls short in some areas such as precision machining and polishing of surfaces that will not be seen by the consumers or adding features to a product that are non-essential, and even most times, a nuisance as will be seen ...

- Original Concept “Last Man” was inspired by Frederic Brown’s (1948) “Knock”, which Brown based on the three-sentence short-short story written by Thomas Bailey Aldrich and is about the last man on Earth following the Zan’s annihilation of living things in the planet. The “Last Man” follows Isaac as the last man on earth who refuses to forget about his family that was since long gone. Brown’s work was an inspiration because the plot narrative, although brief, offered an opportunity to create a different take of the story. Film, as a medium, works best in the project ...

The Raven a 1935 film directed by Lew Landers is an American horror film.

Introduction:

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common birth defects and a prime reason for deaths in first year of life. It accounts for about 20% of congenital defects in infants. The understanding of this study is based on evolution of heart, heart development in mammals and molecular regulation of cardiac development. Evolution of heart saw change in the number of chambers, with fishes (two chambers), amphibians (three chambers) and reptiles, birds and mammals (four chambers). During the developmental process, heart is generated from splanchnic mesoderm that contains the original cardiac cells. Mouse has a gestation period ...

Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground

In self defense, the basic philosophy is that the amount of force to ward off the threat must be proportionate to the force that was being threatened to be used. In essence, lethal force is only permitted to be used in cases in stopping the infliction of grievous bodily harm that can result in possible death, the death of the person or loved ones, or rape or “sexual assault” in Michigan. The person using deadly force legally must possess a reasonable belief that by using such force, one if not all three of these scenarios will be prevented, and ...

1.0 Lab 1: Heating Value Measurements: Solid and Liquid Fuels with a Bomb Calorimeter 1.1 Introduction Measurements of heating values can be derived for both solid and liquid combustible fuels using an Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter. The calorimeter measures heat. Heat is not the same thing as temperature. The heat of combustion is called the calorific value. The calorific value is “:the number of heat units liberated by a unit mass of a sample when burned with oxygen in an enclosure of constant volume” (Introduction 2007). The experiment uses the 6100 Bomb Calorimeter. The definition of calorific value in a bomb calorimeter ...

“We should be the pro-legal immigration party. A party that has a positive platform and agenda on how we can create a legal immigration system that works for immigrants and works for America.” This was a quote by Florida Senator Marco Rubio pertaining to the issue of immigration.

“Abstract”

Cholesterol plays a pivotal role in the fluidity of plasma membrane in cells. Evidence of cholesterol evolution from lanosterol suggests that cholesterol has little sensitivity to changes in temperature as opposed to lanosterol. Simulations also revealed that there is no ld-lo coexistence and 3-phase lines in lipid/lanosterol systems as opposed to lipid/cholesterol systems. The sterol also favors a strong interaction with lipids having saturated acyl chains (Miao et al.) which is a key factor in understanding and characterizing the lipid bilayer model. Based on surface potential measurements, cholesterol and ergosterol reduce the penetration of water into the lipid monolayer. Results revealed that excess ...

On the day Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated on June 28th, 1914 in Sarajevo, it could not have been known to anyone alive at the time how vast the scale of consequences would become. But the balance of power among the European nations had been offset in recent years and decades due to various events that placed various pressures on the nations involved and set the stage for the large European conflict that was to come. While the war was certainly by no means inevitable, the rising pressures within the various nations as well as increasing pressure between the ...

Our society is addicted to fashion labels and items of luxury, yet not everyone can afford these products. When they can’t afford the high-end designers like Louboutin or Louis Vuitton, where do they turn? Sometimes people make due with cheaper brands, but there is another option. They can turn to imitations of these products and buy counterfeits. Not only that, but some people who can afford these luxury items are deceived in buying counterfeits from reputable stores that unknowingly purchased these counterfeits. The subject of fashion counterfeiting came to me a few months ago in my Fashion Survey class. ...
