“The End of the Day” (1990) Materials used in the painting are oil and canvas. The painting is executed in realistic style. It depicts a quiet scene of family life: the end of the day, as the name suggests. The foreground depicts a women, holding a book, with a child sitting on her knees. This is a mother, who is reading a story for her daughter. Interestingly, there are no any scenes or objects on the background, it is just a brown wall, possibly wooden, as it becomes obvious from the texture. Thus, the painting reminds a close ...

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 ...

Introduction

The human body consists various cells that are actively involved in the maintenance of metabolism. Although, the body organs, cells as well as tissues usually carry out different functions, the body cells are similar in regard to their pertinent metabolic needs (Sherwood, 2015). Thus, maintaining the internal environment at a constant state mainly by proving the oxygen as well as nutrients and elimination of waste in the body is an essential process for the wellbeing of the cells as well as the whole body. As such, the various processes through which the human controls or regulates the internal environment ...

Insrtuctor’s Name

“Answer the question, Jane Thomson,” Miss Smith says courteously, coldly, implacably, thus wiping the grin off my face. It is my friend Lucy’s sixteenth birthday, and we have been talking about her birthday party that she is going to throw on Saturday night. Naturally, we have been giggling and grinning from sideburn to sideburn as we usually do when we sit next to each other. That is why we did not notice our Geometry teacher come up to our desk. “Silence!” Miss Smith hisses, turning on the class. Terrified, my classmates watch us in dismay. A sudden hush ...

Introduction

The workings of Henry Moore have been so enclosed in fluctuating to a better grade than possibly any other British sculptor from the twentieth-century and is sometimes conflicting, desert about their contemporary significance as well as historical importance, that new perceptions have frequently seemed indefinable. Previously in the 1930’s, with the hastening motion from the close of the Second World War, Moore’s sculptures were the focus of high appealing, societal and political debates. In most cases, the viewing of the work was coordinated with an inventive institution keen to discover an iconic image for a contemporary social-democratic ...

Over the last decade, the healthcare arena that includes research, education, and patient care has become overloaded with technological advances. Technology influences how nurses are educated, the way how they practice, provide and document patient care. Clinical Information Systems has already replaced paper and pencil input of information that helped to reduce errors and provide flexibility in delivering specific patient care. Vital signs including temperature and blood pressure are taken, recorded and tracked electronically, and nurses are alerted to any worrying and abnormal results. Moreover, POC bar coding, electronic medical records (EMR), personal data assistants (PDAs), and the health ...

Modern technology is one of the fastest growing economic rates in the country and workers at health sector need to be trained for them to be well equipped with the knowledge and skills for its operation.

Central to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s writing of The Birthmark is the unexplained mark that was on “Georgiana’s left cheeka little [similar] to the human hand, though of the smallest pygmy size” (Hawthorne par.7). Initially, the mark had brought Georgiana much admiration with some lovers asserting that the impression on her face was subject to a “fairy” whose tiny hand had somehow landed on the woman’s cheek when she was young (par. 7). The problem is, Aylmer, who happens to the story’s protagonist and Georgiana’s husband, fails to see the appeal of such a mark on ...

Is Climate Change Caused by Human Action

Introduction Are humans responsible for climate change? While it is evident that climate change is a result of different factors which when combined produce a hazardous effect, human action is considered to be the main cause of global warming. Numerous studies show that various human activities produce gas that traps heat which results in most of the increase in globally averaged temperatures. Clearly, atmospheric warming and cooling did not begin with people. It used to occur long before the rise of humankind through natural activities, such as volcanic eruptions, changes in the sun’s intensity and the already existing ...

The institutional affiliation

1. An effective threat is cheaper that an effective promise. Explain why this is true. Provide a specific example. Threats and promises are regarded as two main strategic moves used to impact the behavior and actions of others in a bargaining relationship. That type of relationship is considered as a situation where an individual is trying to influence another person’s option of action (McClintock, Stech, & Beggan, 1987). Both threats and promises can be employed within a game-like situation to message a plan of cooperation or to operate other ("Threats, Promises, and Commitments", 2016). For instance, when a parent ...

An earthquake is any seismic event that causes seismic waves. These can be caused by human activity or natural causes. For example, fracking often causes earthquakes which are human caused. Earthquakes often shake or displace the ground or surface of the earth near the epicenter and if the displaced earth is under the ocean, it will usually cause a tsunami. Most earthquakes are caused by geological faults but they can also be caused by landslides, mine blasting, and volcanic activity. Earthquakes are measured by overserving seismometers that are set up across the globe in strategic places for ...

In the summer of 1947, something in the sky crash-landed near Roswell, New Mexico. Several locals claimed that there were horrific thunderstorms that summer, and when they were out in the location of the crash, they found metal debris strewn across a wide area approximately three-quarters of a mile long. One of the men, Mack Brazel, took some of metal pieces back to his house and he and the neighbors examined the material. Brazel and his neighbors, the Proctors speculated that the metal could be from a crashed spacecraft. That summer over New Mexico there had been quite a ...

Eyes of Berlyn and Brunswik

Perceiving the Environment through Theories: The World in the Eyes of Berlyne and Brunswik Round 1: Experiencing Environmental Perception The general picture I entered a floral park somewhere in the State of [your State] on the 20th of March. I chose this place because it was where I felt most comfortable; it was quiet, peaceful, filled with solitude and the beauty of nature and its surroundings. I felt safe here, as it was far away from the city, and yet filled with the laughter of children who were playing around the park. It was a sunny afternoon, and it ...

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( ...

As early as elementary school, we are taught the water cycle. The simple cycle of evaporation that causes the clouds, the clouds rain on the land, the water is soaked up into the soil, lakes, and rivers only to travel back to the ocean and eventually become rain and snow again. It sounds like a simple process. However, much of California has been in drought for a while and everyone is suffering. Many cities ban the use of water outside, except on a specific day of the week. Neighbors turn each other in for water use. The rolling hills ...

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease, passed on from parents to children along the generations. It is a condition which causes severe pain and anemia. It happens when the body lacks healthy red blood cells to circulate oxygen in the body. The usual shape of the red blood cells is round, and they are flexible so they can pass through the narrow blood vessels of the body. However, sickle cell anemia causes them to become sickle-shaped, like tiny crescents, which are sticky and inflexible. This restricts their movement in the blood vessels causing them to get stuck in ...
