...“The Welcome Table” Arlene Randolph ENG 125 Introduction to Literature Cicely Young, Instructor November 11, 2013 The Welcome Table The title of the story would lead you to believe that this particular “table” would be welcoming, warm and inviting and the people sitting behind the table would receive you joyfully and happily. It is unfortunate that not all “welcome tables” fit this description. This story captured my interest two ways: because I am familiar with the author, Alice Walker, and having read her Pulitzer Prize book “The Color Purple”. In addition, Ms. Walker established an image at the beginning of the story. As noted in the text an image is a distinct representation of something that can be experienced and understood through the senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste). (Clugston, 2010) With the description of the old woman’s attire I was able to picture in my mind exactly what she was wearing and even that she had cataract. “There was a dazed and sleepy look in her aged blue-brown eyes”. (Clugston, 2010) The setting of this story takes place in Georgia during a time when this woman did not have an automobile and had to walk ½ a mile to church. It took place at a time when all parishioners were not allowed to worship at the same church. While reading this story, I found that this old woman was not welcomed in this particular church (table) that she found herself in, I believe, because she was African American and it was a Caucasian...

...chemist Leopold Gmelin worked with this system, and by 1843 he had identified ten triads, three groups of four, and one group of five. Jean-Baptiste Dumas published work in 1857 describing relationships between various groups of metals. Although various chemists were able to identify relationships between small groups of elements, they had yet to build one scheme that encompassed them all. In 1858, German chemist August Kekulé observed that carbon often has four other atoms bonded to it. Methane, for example, has one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. This concept eventually became known as valency; different elements bond with different numbers of atoms. In 1864, fellow German chemist Julius Lothar Meyer published a table of the 49 known elements arranged by valency. The table revealed that elements with similar properties often shared the same valency. English chemist John Newlands produced a series of papers in 1864 and 1865 noting that when the elements were listed in order of increasing atomic weight, similar physical and chemical properties recurred at intervals of eight; he likened such periodicity to the octaves of music.This Law of...

...Periodic table From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article is about the table used in chemistry. For other uses, see The Periodic Table. Standard form of the periodic table. The colors represent different categories of elements explained below. The periodic table is a tabular display of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic numbers and chemical properties. Elements are presented in increasing atomic number. The main body of the table is a 18 × 7 grid, and elements with the same number of valence electrons are kept together in groups, such as the halogens and the noble gases. Due to this, there are gaps that form four distinct rectangular areas or blocks. The f-block is not included in the main table, but rather is usually floated below, as an inline f-block would make the table impractically wide. Using periodic trends, the periodic table can help predict the properties of various elements and the relations between properties. As a result, it provides a useful framework for analyzing chemical behavior, and is widely used in chemistry and other sciences. Although precursors exist, the current table is generally credited to Dmitri Mendeleev, who developed it in 1869 to illustrate periodic trends in the properties of the then-known elements; the layout has been refined and extended as new elements have been discovered and new theoretical models developed to explain chemical behavior. Mendeleev's presentation also...

...Data Table Analysis University of Phoenix Accounting Information Systems ACC/542 Anita Rodriguez April 2, 2012 Data Table Analysis Kudler Fine Foods was founded by Kathy Kudler in La Jolla in 1998. In the beginning, Kudler Fine Foods had only one store, causing Kathy Kudler to make the decision to use the Microsoft Access database to monitor and maintain sales, employees, inventory, customers, and orders. Because Kudler Fine Foods inventory was perishable, it was imperative to track properly these items. Possessing too much inventory was always a concern of Kudler Fine Foods, if the inventory information was inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete the information would be of no use to the company. This paper will present suggestions for enhancement, evaluate database tables from an accounting point of view, and generate a pivot table to assist the management of Kudler Fine Foods with preparing improved reports in accounting and enhance the decision-making process. Evaluate the design elements of the data tables from an accounting perspective The inventory tables allow the users to establish when to order additional inventory and what inventory is on hand. The use of data table analysis is of the essence for this process. The data table is intended to categorize the data into departments, financial codes, items, and it adds the total amount for the transaction codes. It also adds the amount of items in the inventory during a specified period. The data table design...

...Crumbs From the Table of Joy: Outline/ Draft The setting is blue when they walk in. Literally and figuratively because there is mention of the death in the family and the father is wailing; blue in color, and blue in emotion. The family is temporarily broken and the father is trying to keep them together but all he is really doing is pulling them apart. After a short silence in one scene, the youngest walks over to the radio- sulking at it. The father is reading and trying to pay attention to something else but clearly sulking over the wife. Ernie, the oldest has positioned herself in such a way that the audience can see she is basking at the photo of her mother and in a state of nostalgia. Then in walks Aunt Lily… starts off with much excitement. The girls have never seen a woman like this in their life. When things start to settle down, a little bit of time passes and there is happy jazz music playing while the aunt struts around her new ‘home’ in her robe. I made a side note that in this scene her big fluffy fur jacket is draped over top of all the other family members jackets on the coat rack. I am not sure if this was intentional or not, but I feel it was intentionally placed to show that she has “taken over” in a way. As the play progresses so does Lily. She is drinking more, clearly depressed and not as “upbeat” and put-together as she tried to previously portray herself. We see this when she sells the suit she seemed to care so deeply for, just for a little...

...I wanted to discuss the history of the table tennis paddle. When given this assignment, I instantly wanted to do some research on what the table tennis paddle used to look like, the material that it was made out of and etc. To begin with, I read that the table tennis paddle originally was developed in the late 1800’s and did not change until the early 1900’s. The first table tennis paddle was called the “banjo racket” because of its looks and it also was constructed like a small drum, and made a drum like sound when you hit the ball with it. The first paddle was also around 19 inches long, which is unheard of nowadays. As we neared the start of the 20th century, the paddles then started to become made of wood covered in sandpaper, followed by a “cork-faced” racket, which players liked because they thought it, improved their overall performance. As we neared the middle of the 20th century, the changes in the racket increased significantly due to a first time impact from Japanese technology. They tried adapting the racket so it would help a player either on the offensive or defensive side. For example, it says that they made a racket that was wide and had a “pimpled rubber” surface that was preferred by players on defense. Next, they developed a sponge type racket. When the sponge racket was implemented with rubber and was 1mm, it was said that it was more difficult to create spin on the ball. I found it interesting that they finally stuck with this type of material and instead...

...Data Table Analysis Data Table Analysis Kudler’s Fine Foods is a gourmet food store that provides specialized products in the Southern California region. Since the inventory of the store is perishable, it is important to have control of the inventory on hand and put in place a procedure for replacing the inventory promptly. If Kudler’s has too much inventory on hand, the loss of revenues due to waste increases. Alternatively, if Kudler’s cannot replace inventory fast enough, they risk alienating customers who count on them to provide gourmet specialty products that are hard to find in the grocery store chains. By evaluating the design elements of the data tables, implementing the recommended improvements to the data tables and utilizing pivot tables to get a more accurate picture of the inventory ordering and processing system, Kudler’s should be able to increase their bottom line. The inventory table that Kudler’s uses contain the components that make up an item. The items listed include a general ledger code, item description, summary line item, and cost (Apollo, 2013). An evaluation of the database tables will provide suggestions for improvements of their data system. One of the most important components of Kudler’s inventory is missing from their database table. A recommendation would be to include a purchase date or an expiration date of each item. Since perishable items are so prominent in the business, the ability to have an alert system for almost expired items, as...

...Assignment 3: Oracle Table and Query Arthur David Knowles Professor Murnane CIS 111 Strayer University 10, 29, 2012 Assignment 3: Oracle Table and Query Today we are going to learn how to do a couple basic things within Oracle. We are going to create a table with three columns and we are going to input five records into it. When we are all done you will be able to create a table, insert data and use a query to find the data. Now let us get started! First launch the putty application and open the one for our class that we created week one. Sign into Oracle until you reach the prompt that reads SQL>. For this example I am going to use NFL quarterbacks for our table creation. Once you have arrived at the SQL prompt type in the following command line, create table NFLQBS ( , then hit enter, you should see a 2 on the left side, on the following lines we will create the columns. On line 2 type in, Player_Team varchar(30), then hit enter. On line 3 type in Player_Name varchar(30), hit enter again. Then on line 4 type in Player_Number varchar(5); and hit enter. If done correctly it should read, “Table Created”. The picture above shows where we should be. I will now explain a few of the things we just did in detail. First command we used was Create Table, this is used to create the base table that forms the heart of our relational database. The number in parentheses is used to set how many character can be used in that column. Now we will move onto inserting the...

...Evaluation Data Tables Data Table analysis is essential to the success of Kudler, the information provided in these tables is available for the end user to determine inventory levels and when ordering is needed. The design of data tables organizes the financial data into department, financial codes, items and then sums of total amount of transaction. Data tables maximize the visual and informational presentation for the financial data. The user can easily identify information about each item as belonging to certain department, and how many items were received at the given cost for a certain period. It allows finding total amount and quantity on hand for an item and calculating average price for an item. Entity relationship diagram illustrates the hierarchy of how information reviewed by end users. The data represented in entity relation diagrams (E-R) includes the business entities and the relationship among them. E-R diagrams use four symbols: rectangles to represent entities, diamonds to describe relationship, ovals describe the entity, characteristics, and connecting lines depicts relationships. Recommendation for improvements to the Data Tables The Pivot Table is two-dimensional statistical summay of database information and can be improved by arranging the codes chronologically and sorting the data by compiling the list of product inventory levels. This will facilitate monitoring items for a department that has different items to sell. Data sorting will allow...

...Traité Élémentaire de Chimie, which is the first modern chemistry textbook. The textbook included a list of simple substances, that Laviosier believed could not be broken down any further. The list, which included oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, mercury, zinc, and sulfur, was a basic outline for the modern periodic table. Russian chemist, Mendeleev, was the first scientist to construct a periodic table similar to the modern version. He organized elements according to increasing atomic mass and put columns of elements together that shared physical and chemical properties. He left blank areas for unknown elements whenever there was a large gap in atomic mass between two elements. He predicted the undiscovered elements’ properties, and when they were discovered they fit perfectly in the gaps. In 1864, Meyer published his own periodic table, unknown to Mendeleev. Meyer’s table consisted of 28 elements, classified by valence electrons. Unlike Mendeleev, Meyer did not predict new elements. English chemist, Mosley, “fixed” Mendeleev’s mistake by arranging elements by increasing atomic number instead of increasing atomic mass. He’s credited for developing the modern periodic table as well as forming periodic law, which states that when elements are arranged by increasing atomic number, there is a repeating pattern of their physical and chemical properties. According to periodic law, elements that are in the same group have the same number of valence electrons and reoccurring trends in their...

...English – The Periodic Table Online Summary The Periodic Table' gives an insight into the importance of chemistry in Levi's life. On a very basic level it probably saved him at Auschwitz, where his professional experience meant he was selected for work in one of the IG Farben synthetic rubber factories attatched to the concentration camp ('Cerium') - far preferable to the back-breaking physical labour he would otherwise have had to perform. Chemistry also provided Levi with a living before and after the war. But Levi looked for more than simply 'the tools to earn his living and have a secure life.' In 'Hydrogen' Levi expresses what chemistry meant to him as a school boy: 'An indefinite cloud of future potentialities'...from which 'cloud I expected my law, the principle of order in me, around me and in the world.' In 'Iron', as a chemistry degree student and with the war looming with all the terrible consequences that it would have for him, Levi explains to his friend Sandro how his view of chemistry has developed: Sandro was surprised when I tried to explain to him some of the ideas that at the time I was confusedly cultivating. That the nobility of man, acquired in a hundred centuries of trial and error, lay in making himself the conquerer of matter, and that I had enrolled in chemistry because I wanted to remain faithful to this nobility. That conquering matter is to understand it, and understanding matter is necessary to understanding the universe and ourselves: ...
