...Through these performances, Bragg works to not only relate to Deaf individuals across the nation who, previously, had never seen a televised Deaf performer, but also inform and educate the hearing community about Deaf culture. In order to introduce the hearing audience to ASL, the performers of “My Third Eye” would sign simple poems such as “Three Blind Mice” and invite the hearing audience to learn how to sign it. Additionally, the play explored the dreams and ideas of the Deaf performers themselves in order to connect with the Deaf audience. In a TV interview, Bragg shared that he initially was not sure how the hearing world would react to his performers with exclusively Deaf actors, saying “I had no idea until we opened in New York and I read the reviews, and they were all so positive.” This positive feedback from the audience and critics lead Bragg to continue in the Deaf National Theater for ten years. In 1977, the National Theater of the Deaf went on to receive a Tony award for theatrical...

These stories were most likely in your childhood whether it was because you heard about it and knew the main points of the story or someone read it to you and you could have also read it by yourself. No matter how you heard about these stories these stories come together like paper and glue.These stories had similarities in their genre in their story points and in their audience. Nobody can argue that these three stories are well alike like triplets. For example they have some of the same story...

...Nursery Rhymes- The Origin What do I say about nursery rhymes? We have grown up reciting them. They were and are an important part of our childhood. We sung them during class, at home, in front of guests, in the playground and a lot of us sing them even today. Nursery rhymes were like the first form of music that we learnt and to a 3 year old, I bet they are like the Beatles or ABBA or even Taylor Swift! But, recently, I have been wondering whether or rather WHAT these rhymes mean because, to me, they all sound pretty destructive. We sing about children breaking their heads, lying and laughing about it and weird eggs falling off walls (well, nowhere is it written that humpty dumpty was an egg, but that’s another topic all together). Anyway, so I decided to look it up. I decided to find out from where these nursery rhymes originated and what they mean… Oh! And what I read, well, it was shocking. Apparently, most of the rhymes were originated centuries ago and were used as a mode of free speech by many. They would write these rhymes to criticize the political scenes of the time as open criticism would get them killed. Hence obviously they don’t mean happy and joyous things. But, it makes me sad to think that little children sing about such violence. Ill tell you about the meanings of a few commonly sung rhymes across the globe… 1. Jack and Jill- Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after...

...being made to improve Tobago’s dismal tourism product. The island’s tourism seems be spiraling on a perpetual course to a total meltdown as the State of Emergency, the escape of regional air carrier LIAT Airlines leaving regional visitors without a main connection, a tired tourism product with no new attractions within the last 10 years and three blind mice leading the Division of Tourism. Added to this dismal portrait is the fact that the Tourism Executive Officials seem to be blindly going where no one wants to go, and where no other destination in the region is going. The inaction of these Tourism officials clearly state that they do not seem to care about the industry or the destination. As a matter of fact, will the Secretary of Tourism, the Administrator in the Division and the Director of Tourism please step down and clear the miasmic air that you have engendered since 2009? One can understand that considering the age of the Secretary and Administrator it will be difficult to position the destination in a youthful, edgy and fresh manner. However, it is == It is time that the people of Tobago get rid of the three Blind Mice who are currently leading the Division and the destination into a quagmire of no return. Tourism arrivals have dipped dangerously into the mid teens this year for the first time in six years. Why is Neil Wilson still the consultant to the Division and its Secretary? Is the Secretary not following the advice of his trusted consultant? Why does...

...The Cambridge Laboratories Case Series Dennis R. Shaughnessy Executive Professor “Of Mice and Men” A Negligence and Liability Theory Case While this is a fictional business case, prepared for class instruction purposes, students will be asked to treat certain of the information contained herein as not in the public domain and therefore confidential, as directed by the instructor. Cambridge Laboratories, Inc. is widely known in the biomedical research community for its expertise in providing a range of services related to the management of genetically engineered (“transgenic”) mice. The Company provides a variety of specialized services to pharmaceutical and biotech companies that support the development, maintenance and use of proprietary transgenic mice, including breeding and colony scale-up, short and long-term housing, embryo cryopreservation, genetic testing, health profiling, dosing and biologics production. Cambridge has specialized facilities in several countries, including bio-secure facilities (BSL3 and below only). Cambridge was recently approached by a small privately-held biotechnology company (BTC), to provide transgenic services on a new proprietary transgenic mouse model. BTC’s unique transgenic mouse produces a toxin that effectively disables a certain strain of filovirus, normally found in remote areas of Central Africa, known as “Tinochika” (in local dialect, “the one we live in fear of”). The so-called TC virus, a relative...

...How Does the Supplementation of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) affect Human Fat Mass? Abstract Research Question: How does the supplementation of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) affect human body composition? Literature Review: Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a family of geometrical and positional isomers of linoleic acid. The predominant sources of CLA are from ruminant animal fats (cow, dairy, sheep, goat, and deer). Over the past 20 years, CLA supplementation has produced positive effects in animal studies, such as significant body fat reduction, anticarcinogenisis, antiatherogenesis, immune modulation and improved bone health. Conversely, human studies have not produced all of the aforementioned results. Nonetheless, there have been many human studies supporting a minimal but significant body fat reduction. These results have been mainly attained with a 50:50 mixture of cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12 of purified CLA isomers at various doses. There is evidence indicating that a dose of 3.0g CLA/day may lead to fat loss, whereas the average Canadian consumes between 0.1-1.5 g CLA/day. Therefore, a supplement may be warranted in the future, once further research has been completed on the efficacy and safety of CLA supplementation. Implications to dietetic practice: Clinical dietitians involved in research should experiment with various doses and isomers, but they should particularly investigate the long-term implications...

...Billy Collins And All That Jazz: An Essay by J.Doria You can’t read Billy Collins’ poems without considering their background music, which, like his comic and physically impaired mice, perforates his words and timbre of his poetry, a distant accompaniment, a soundtrack to his verses. The central focus here will be Many Faces of Jazz from Picnic, Lightning with reference to some other works fromQuestions of Angels, The Apple that Astonished Paris and The Art of Drowning. Billy Collins has said that he likes to be alone with his reader, creating a very personal and intimate link between ourselves and the poet. Reading is a singular act and Collins makes full advantage of this. Not only does he seduce the reader by his profoundly simple yet enchanting verse, he shares his love of music as well, almost gifting us with a mixed tape ranging from classical to jazz to the blues to a track on the radio. In this poem, The Many Faces of Jazz, Collins reflects on our complicated relationship with this genre of music which he clearly loves “and, most essential, the whole/head furiously,/ yet almost imperceptibly nodding/ in total and absolute agreement.” The poem takes you into a smoky, hazy jazz bar perhaps by invitation where we watch an audience. Jazz can be a musical estrangement of sorts. It jars. Tempos can be jagged and ragged. It refuses to soar with Beethovian swells, climaxing gloriously and unforgivingly. We feel we should ‘understand’ it but don’t. One almost feels uneducated...

...courageous and is shown much love by the girls that she does everyday life with. Appropriate Age/Grade Level: Elementary Age (6 -11 years) Evaluation Criteria: 1. Content The content is good for children between the ages of six and eleven. At the age of six, you are able to understand and pronounce all of the words, and as an eleven year old, you may not appreciate the lessons learned as much as a younger child might. 2. Illustrations The cover of this book is quite captivating, actually. Before reading the story, the cover helps you figure out the setting and that it could possibly be about. Bemelman’s art work is one of the most captivating things about this book. The paintings are vibrant with yellow, black and sometimes green being the three dominant colors. The illustrations definitely extend to the text and the message that Bemelmans is trying to convey. With the opening text, “In an old house in Paris that was covered in vines lived twelve little girls in two straight lines. In two straight lines they broke their bread and brushed their teeth and went to bed.” From reading that passage, you can already tell that there will be an order to this story. You know that it could rhyme and that from the order they walk, eat and sleep in, these young girls were disciplined and respectful 3. Theme The themes are love and friendship. As Madeline suffered from appendicitis, Miss Clavel wasted no time in knowing that something could be wrong with one of her girls. As the story went...

...Medica.2 By the early 1800s, Aloe vera was in use as a laxative in the United States, but in the mid-1930s, a turning point occurred when it was successfully used to treat chronic and severe radiation dermatitis.2 Plant The botanical name of Aloe vera is Aloe barbadensis miller. It belongs to Asphodelaceae (Liliaceae) family, and is a shrubby or arborescent, perennial, xerophytic, succulent, pea- green color plant.

...This is where people tend to pick a side when they realize what really happens in a lab when researchers test on the animals. One very common test that goes on is the LD50 test, which is used to test the toxicity of products, in order to find which chemical kills fifty percent of the animals. Another standard test that is usually performed on rabbits is the "draize test" which determines how puffy, red, and irritated the rabbit's eyes get depending on what the pH of the solution. This test can sometimes make the eyes bleed or permanently blind them (Animals in Research Web). On a daily basis, thousands of various types of lab animals are taken from their food and water, are made to stay awake for long periods of time, are sometimes kept from other animals in isolation, separated from their mothers directly after birth, and have their appendages removed (Animals in Research Web). In laboratories in the United States, the number of animals that are "burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused" is close to nearly 100 million (11 Facts About Animal Testing Web). On top of this daily abuse, the animals live in very harsh living conditions and are even capable of severely stressing. Almost none of the animals go outside and the few that do are switched cages often, so they are not outside...

...Without question, Of Mice and Men by George Steinbeck is a gritty, dark, novella filled with despondency and hopelessness. The despondency and hopelessness is brought on by the deaths of innocent characters, and reinforced by the lack of care for life that seems to hold itself in the minds of most of the ranchers in the story. Their carelessness for the death of others reveals to us the lifestyle on the ranch, as well as the lifestyle of the bitter, rough Great Depression of the 1930s in America. While these deaths are insignificant to the men on the ranch, they hold major significance to the plot. Our introduction to these ideas on death amongst the ranchers starts with the death of Candy’s dog. This sheepdog was old and feeble, but was...

...Animal testing research paper Throughout history animals have been unfairly tested on. As early as 384 Bc animal testing has occurred (Hajar). In 1980 Henry Spira, an animal rights activist, took an ad out in the New York Times with the slogan “How many rabbits does Revlon blind for beauty's sake?” That is what started the campaign to stop animal testing. Animals are tested on to make products such as shampoo, makeup, and sunscreen. When you test on animals 50% of the animals that get tested die during the study. The ones who survive are later killed. The main animals that are tested on are monkeys, rats, mice, lizards, guinea pigs and baboons but are not limited to those animals. Animal testing should be banned because it is unnecessary and cruel to animals. Different procedures are done to animals that are painful and would be considered animal abuse in any other situation. To test products and chemicals on animals there are many procedures that are done. One procedure is vivisection, which is the act of cutting or experimenting with live animals or putting harsh chemicals on the animals. Another procedure that is done is a Draize test. A Draize test involves dripping substances in rabbit or other animals eyes causing pain and in serious cases blindness. These procedures should be stopped because it is hurting live creatures and is cruel to...
