...Background: The Disappearing Spoon written by Sam Kean, informs readers about the importance of the periodic table and how it is important than what people really believe. In this book he talks about how the periodic table is not a table with numbers and letters. It is full of stories and interesting facts, which makes it standout. This book is more likely written for science and chemistry student and can not leave out the outstanding teachers for example Mrs. Nix.

...MCN BOOK CLUB BOOK: ARUNA’S STORY AUTHOR: PINKY VIRANI SUBMITTED BY: AKANKSHA, HRM C (2014-16), H14127 SUMMARY: “One man. Plus a savage twist of one chain. And the thirty seconds for his sperm to release. Equals one broken woman.” These intense words leave me stunned long after I had turned over the final few pages of Aruna’s Story. Like most of us I too was familiar with the heart wrenching story of this unfortunate case of a bright, young nurse at King Edward Memorial hospital who was brutally raped and assaulted with a dog chain and is rendered to live in this horrendous existence for the past four decades. But I came to know the details of this incident only through this story and I can’t think of a single word that would describe my emotions while reading it. Pinky Virani’s powerful depiction of the incident, building up of the characters, portrayal of imagined conversations between Aruna and her co-workers, her lover, transports the readers back into Aruna’s world in November, 1973. I could relate to that vivacious, headstrong girl who had come to the city of dreams to make her identity, who worked hard and excelled in her field, who had that jittery anticipation of an impending wedding and the wonderful aspirations of a beautiful future ahead with her betrothed (Dr. Sundeep Sardesai). The book progresses in three segments, the first one dealing with the actual incident, the second part delves into Aruna’s life before and the final part discusses the present state of affairs...

Write a 100-word summary explaining how that media piece supports that statement and include reference citations. 1. Find a media piece—article, video, presentation, song, or other—related to the scientific method, creating hypotheses, or designing experiments. Include the link or reference citation for the piece and describe how it helped you better understand how the scientific method is used to create hypotheses and experiments. * * “The Scientific Method Video,” is a unique way to present the scientific method by using rap to emphasize the important points. This includes that the scientific method begins with a question based on an observation, and then a hypothesis and prediction are made, experiments are conducted (which need to be reliable, include a variable and a control), and lastly findings are reported. It has been a long time since I have gone over the basics of the scientific method. This video helped me review what I find so fundamental and second nature. Also, I think it is helpful to note that as the textbook states, “These steps guide scientific investigation, but working scientist typically do not follow them rigidly.” This video is an interesting tool to review the scientific method and how it is viewed by the student rappers.

...considered an example of situational irony. It was allegedly written at Pete's Tavern[2][3] on Irving Place in New York City. Plot Mr. James Dillingham Young ("Jim") and his wife, Della, are a couple living in a modest flat. They each have one possession in which they take pride: Della's beautiful long, flowing hair and Jim's gold watch, which had belonged to his father and grandfather. On Christmas Eve, with only $1.87 in hand, and desperate to find a gift for Jim, Della sells her hair for $20, and eventually finds a platinum fob chain for Jim's watch for $21. Happy to have found the perfect gift at last, she runs home and begins to prepare dinner. When Jim comes home, he looks at Della with an expression “that she could not read, and it terrified her.” Della then admits to Jim that she sold her hair to buy him his present. Jim gives Della her present — an array of expensive combs for her hair (referred to as “The Combs”). Della then shows Jim the chain she bought for him, to which Jim says he sold his watch to get the money to buy her combs. Although Jim and Della are now left with gifts that neither one can use, they realize how far they are willing to go to show their love for each other. The story ends with the narrator comparing the pair's mutually sacrificial gifts of love with those of the Biblical Magi:[4] The magi, as you know, were wise men – wonderfully...

...October 2012 SOUNDVIEW Executive Book Summaries www.summary.com Management ® The Power of Habit Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business THE SUMMARY IN BRIEF In The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg, award-winning business reporter for The New York Times, takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. By distilling vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to light a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation. Along the way, we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the successful promotion of Pepsodent; to Tony Dungy who led his team to a Super Bowl win by changing one step in his players’ habit loop; and to Alcoa when it turned itself around by changing just one routine within the organization. At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. By harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities and our lives. by Charles Duhigg ...

...Fantasy themes contribute to the formation of a shared identity and group consciousness” (2016). This cohesion stems from that dramatizing message that fans use to create their own interpretations of the creator’s intention and portrayal of the characters and situations through the storyline. It is important to understand that the dramatizing message is the platform the fans use and fantasy chaining are the works they create for that platform. In this case, Fanfiction.net is the dramatizing message and the stories (or fanfics) is considered the fantasy chain because it is a direct reaction to the preferred reading. Creators of fanfiction “are able to do it because the internaet is personal and mallable in a way that programs, publishers, and even pen and paper are not. And we like it more, because it hasn’t been polished, dismissed, or dictated by any standards but what the reader enjoys” (Schaffner, 2009). The diversity of works, collaborations, and discussions that come about because fanfiction is not regulated is a credit to the fandom itself. Fans take the dramatizing message and the unexpected and turn it into something they think the community, as a whole would like to read without the motivation of payment or sponsorship. A fanfiction writer said, “No person can create a fully organic and...

...Summary of Thomas Friedman’s The World Is Flat In The World Is Flat, Thomas L. Friedman discusses events and technologies that are “flattening” the world and increasing globalization. Friedman feels the world is highly interconnected without regard to hierarchy, distance, organizational size, individual status, culture, or language. He describes ten "flatteners" that are reshaping the world. Flattener 1 – Fall of the Berlin Wall The end of the Cold War broke down barriers between people. To catch your attention he identifies this flattener with 9/11. November 9, 1989 is when the Berlin Wall fell. He contrasts it with 9/11 which is journalistically neat but not terribly pertinent. But Friedman doesn't stop with a political-historical event. About the same time (the 1980s), Apple and Microsoft were making personal computers available to the world. Not only did the Berlin wall fall but Microsoft Windows opened [cute]. Part of flattener #1 is the personal computer, the ability of individuals to put their thoughts in digital form. Flattener 2 – The Internet On August 9, 1995 Netscape went public with first internet browser available to the public at large. Now people could access information from all over the world. Flattener 3 - Workflow software Many software developments, standards, and protocols enable computers and other digital devices to interact over the internet so that work and other projects can be done by people any where in the world.

...A New Approach to an Enduring Problem Today, a growing world population and the rise of “developing” nations are creating a strain on world resources never before witnessed. Faced with this trend, businesses can no longer afford to continue along the path of “being less bad” through traditional green practices. Cradle to Cradle offers a transformational new approach to solving this problem, one that embraces the power of human innovation rather than attempting to limit it. An analysis of the text reveals several key lessons for decision makers in today’s global businesses. In order to properly analyze them, the strengths of the book will first be discussed, followed by the shortcomings of Cradle to Cradle. After that the discussion will move to three main lessons learned, specifically Cradle to Cradle Strengths Perhaps the greatest attribute of Cradle to Cradle is its pure ambition and its reinvention of traditional definitions regarding environmentally conscious management. The authors’ ability to debunk myths and challenge perceptions regarding green management has the potential to be transformative. In the following paragraphs several of these illuminating perspectives shall be reviewed. In the minds of many managers, recycling is a great way to reduce the use of virgin raw materials and slow the destruction of the environment. However, the authors point out recycling, or downcycling more accurately, often requires more chemicals or natural resources to...

Organic chemistry is a course in which one idea almost always builds on another that has gone before. 2. Study materials in small units, and be sure that you understand each new section before you go on to the next. Because of the cumulative nature of organic chemistry, your studying will be much more effective if you take each new idea as it comes and try to understand it completely before you move onto the nest concept. 3.
