The cultural event features some of the contemporary post-modernism artworks created by various artists. In this exhibit, the pictures present an interesting backdrop that attempts to illustrate the art of the 21st century. The first picture in the exhibit was Amber Garceau’s Dancer (see fig. 1), a photograph that depicts a man in the actual performance of dancing mid-air. The outlines of the right foot indicates the fast movement, the light shining from below creates the chiaroscuro and the shadows that emphasize the dancing male form. The random movement of dancing mid-air is truly a wonderful rendition on ...

The term biotechnology refers to any process that involves biology and technology. Though the term was coined as far back as 1919 by Karl Ereky (Verma et al., 2011), biotechnology was established as a field of applied science only in the late twentieth century with the advent of recombinant DNA technology. Recombinant DNA technology is the generation and application of recombinant DNA molecules or rDNA. In a nutshell, recombinant DNA technology involved the cutting of a fragment of DNA and its insertion into a specific circular DNA molecule called a vector. The DNA is cut by enzymes called restriction endonucleases, and joined to a vector ...

- What are GM foods? Genetically modified foods are derived from genetic engineering of various organisms. Unlike mutagenesis which results in non-specific alterations of the DNA, genetic engineering results in precise changes to the DNA component in an organism. The sale of GM foods commenced in 1994, and the first GM food to be sold was a tomato that was genetically engineered to ripen at a slower rate (International Food Council 125). Genetically modified foods are mainly derived from transgenic plants. These plants are derived from artificially inserting genes into them which alters their DNA composition. The inserted gene, ...

Introduction

Mining process is an industrially based process that occurs in a natural environment. Its primary potential problems include disturbance of geological structure of the area. It generates enormous volumes of waste solid material and alters the ecology of the area involved, . This paper looks at the mining of phosphates in St Pierre Islands and its impacts. It also gives the possible mitigation measures together with underlying advantages and disadvantages.

Statement of the problem

St Pierre Island is a small, uninhabitable island to the north of Seychelles. The geologically unstable island is under attack by the sea waves. Its foundation rock that is made up of ...

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (2010), nearly one billion people suffered from hunger in 2010, representing nearly 16% of the population of developing countries. At the same time, the world population is growing and global warming threatens the production of crops. Profound changes are needed in the way that food production and food consumption are perceived, or the world may face mass starvation. Genetically modified (GM) technology has been found capable of feeding the world but there are concerns regarding its safety (Moseley 2002, Carpenter 2010). Consumer acceptance of GM foods in the ...

Advertising is used as a means to publicize a particular product or service to its target market. Companies often vie to produce the most creative, lucrative, and efficient advertisements in their respective industries. However, in the high demand for such advertisements, certain campaigns tend to neglect their responsibility of proper advertising. Various forms of deceptive advertising are seen almost everywhere and the most notorious will be tackled later on. To be specific, any form of advertisement that lures consumers to purchase a product or service due to a misunderstanding may be ...

Life span development is a window into the nature of human development from conception to death. The life span perspective involves seven basic contentions: development is lifelong, covers the various life aspects , multidirectional, plastic, historically embedded, multidisciplinary, and contextual (Papaya, 1981)

Development is lifelong. Development includes changes that take place from conception to death.

Development covers various aspects of life. Development consists of biological,cognitive, and social dimensions.

Development is plastic. Depending on the individuals life conditions, development may take many paths.

Development is embedded in history. People's life paths are influenced by the happenings of that particular time.

The human development ...
