...Here is an interview for Dr. Jimmy Adegoke who works in department of geosciences, and he is a climatologist whose research emphasizes the role of the land surface as drivers of weather and climate. I prepared several questions, and the central point I talked with him is what differences between business student and science student. I interviewed him in the student union, and his solemn and cautious leave me a deep impression when he put his palms together devoutly. When I finished my self-instruction, he stood up and shook hands with me, but no smile. I felt a little nervous. I told him that I am a business student, and our major is totally different, which is the reason I choose him to be my interviewee. He said his work is complex and complicated because it is not only teach, but also includes some researches about biology and geography, the supervision of master student, participating conference and the community of finical planning. I asked him what the favorite part in his work is. This question seems carried him back, and he paused as if to find a way to phrase his next thoughts. And then, he continued to say that to teach and work with students is his favorite work. He also said to spend a lot of time on research is not his will, and he would like to be with his family if there are 48 hours a day. When he said this I felt a man who has sense of responsibility and loves his family deeply. .To answer the central point of this interview, his response is that business students...

...Henrico Country, Virginia, occurred” (Aptheker 219). The book Black Thunder: Gabriel’s Revolt written by Arna Bontemps is a historical novel that takes place in Virginia in 1800. It shows what the slaves at this time were experiencing and it is in their point of view, rather than the view from the slave masters, like many other novels are. The title, Black Thunder, has a double meaning to it. The very literal meaning of it is a night thunderstorm. The thunderstorm is a climactic turning point in the novel. It is what causes the rivers to flood and the slaves to bail on the revolt. They see the storm as a bad sign and do not want to move onward. The other meaning of the title is the sound of African drums. The titles of the five books, “Jacobins”, “Hand Me Down My Silver Trumpet”, “Mad Dogs”, “A Breathing Of The Common Wind”, and “Pale Evening…A Tall Slim Tree”, in the novel are also very significant. For example, Jacobins, which is the title of book one, were French men who were members of a radical political group who supported an egalitarian democracy. This first book involves many judgments, so I feel it is an appropriate title. The third book refers to what the masters and white people of power saw the slaves as, mad dogs. The last book title has to do with execution and this is the chapter where Gabriel and other slaves get hung. There are many important characters in this novel, but a few particularly stand out, Gabriel, Bundy, and Old Ben. Bundy and Old Ben could...

...Gee Summary In this work written by James Paul Gee, explaining that you as an individual are more subject to gaining discourse from primary discourse (parents, siblings, family), and reinforced by secondary discourse (social goods such as money, prestige, power.) Gee states that "language" can be a term that is misleading because it often suggests that it refers to "grammar" However, language and grammar are two different things. Language is written words whereas grammar is seen as fixing the written words to make the work flow better. The central terms to the text are primary and secondary discourses. Primary discourse are being a member of a primary socializing group (family, clan, peer group). Secondary discourses are the mastery of a particular discourse at a certain place and time, bringing with it the acquisition of "social goods"( Literacy, Discourse, and Linguistics, By James Paul Gee). The reason these themes are so important is that a primary discourse is one in which you learn from individuals that are close to you. After, you have mastered the primary discourse you take what you learned from primary discourse, then through further mastery from other individuals you begin to construct the world around you. Once you have mastered secondary discourse you are able to compete for money power, and prestige. The first concept of the text is that primary and secondary discourses are necessary for an individual to be able to compete in society. After, mastering these skills...

...class. As we turn to Hanna Roslyn’s article her children attend sleepovers and playdates. They have free play and they do different activities. For instance her children were involved in theatre and when practice was done they were allowed to participate with friends. It seems that the children in both families probably were happy children. Most people I know here in Washington State are in the middle of what these ladies believe in. Me for instance I believe that when my child plays a sport that excellence in mandatory. We will learn how to be one of the best players, we will master the sport, we will and discipline is mandatory. I feel the same way about school, we will be top of our class, and we will exceed expectations. But my children have playdates, sleepovers and have playdates. So I’m almost caught in the middle of what these articles speak about. We can master...

...When slaves were being sold they would inspect the buyers. A slave would size up their possible future master and determine based on their demeanor and appearance, whether or not he would be a good master. Once the slave got its intel on the buyer he or she would manipulate their physical traits to make the buyer more or less interested in the purchase. Some of the most well known slaves are; Harriet Tubman, George Carver, and Frederick Douglass. Harriet Tubman was notable and admired while she was alive, and even after she passed she was an American icon. Tubman was born into slavery and escaped in the north only to become the most famous conductor on the Underground Railroad. She also led hundreds of enslaved people to freedom along the route of the Underground Railroad that led to the free state of Pennsylvania. A survey was taken at the end of the 20th century naming her as one of the most famous civilians in American history before the Civil War (qtd. in H.T.B.). Not only does this show that she was a well known slave, it shows that she cared about her people and she would do anything to help them....

...During the time when Lazaro was alive he and his family had trouble getting money in order to survive. His mother who is a widower gives up Lazaro to a blind man to keep safe and to be fed because Lazaro mother cannot do so. During that time money was hard to get because of the booming economy that Spain was experiencing due to getting new resources of spices and herbs among with expensive metals such as gold and silver from the new world. With the economy booming prices on food, land, and ways to live have risen thus causing an inflammation on goods. This had effected Lazaro because his own mother had to give him up to a stranger in order for him and herself to survive, this key part sets many misfortunes upon Lazaro throughout his life. During the 16th century in Spain religion had played a big role in citizen’s lives. The main religion that was practice and forced upon in Spain was Christianity. There were laws that if you didn’t practice Christianity you will be baptize by force and also converted into Christianity, this was mostly practice on the Muslims and the Jews. There were also laws that were implanted on society if you were to practice another religion besides Christianity or even say any negatives against it you were either exiled from the country or killed in public with no trail. People will often keep their mouth shut in order to be safe, or even practiced their former religion in secrecy. Along with controlling people’s lives it controlled finances on who...

...we get heartbroken or angry but we must learn to deal with it and let it go as Bishop states, “the art of losing isn't hard to master.” But its easier said than done as losing a key can be replaced but losing someone whom we love can be a nightmare, in Bishop terms a “disaster.” Losing tangible and intangible possession we carry is part of life, but furthermore it is important to realize that coping with such a loss is the part of our existence that is necessary. In “One Art,” Bishop is rationalizing and adopting to her actual losses. She uses poetry has a medium to self-express and reflect her own personal loss and her endurance to cope with it. As Kristy states, “ One Art builds from Bishop's personal experience with loss to become a monument to one of the most fundamental of human experiences, resulting in a poem that is universal in its applicability and masterful in its execution.” Bishop intentionally mentions her losses in the poem in a fictitious mode to comfort herself and ensure that she can defeat her feelings of grief, as Miller states, “the losses in the poem are real.” Miller She recites, “I lost my mother watch,” her mother's watch is the only possession that she owns and losing it signifies that she has lost what remained of her mother. She is able to cope with the loss as she restates, “the art of losing isn't hard to master.” She believes she can cope with the loss, as her mother's watch isn't significant to her as she did only have a blur memory of...

...mother and father as she learned that her mother was sold from her at four years of age.She could never figure out her history due to the purposeful disconnection put into act by the master.¨I was just a little thing taken away from my mother and father just when I needed them the most ¨ Mingo Whiteś Narrative. This occurrence of broken families took a toll on many slaves as they grew up to be curious of who they were. If they wanted to know anything about them they were harshly restricted from learning so they couldn't read. According to Frederick Douglass's Narrative ¨Frequently, before the child has reached its twelfth month, it mother is taken from it¨.This purposeful displacement of the parents and the child hindered the affection between elders with the child. It was completely designed to destroy the bond of the mother and child to prevent teaming up and cleverness being built in the relationship. This broken family structure was heavily touched on to convey the impact it had on many slaves and how they became clever enough to start learning how to read and learn names and numbers in their...

...tissue by way of a series of self-replicating, biogenic molecules. This is obviously because he is such a boss. Rassilon only invented/created this for the Gallifreyan elite. I’ll stop here to blow your mind; Not all Gallifreyans are timelords, but all timelords are Gallifreyan elites. Rassilon also inputted a limitation of only twelve regenerations, this giving the timelord a total of thirteen incarnations. He did so to supposedly avoid the decaying of the biogenic molecules from wear and tear (pun). In a few examples throughout the Whoniverse, however, this limitation has been circumvented (or at least theorized to). I’ll explain more after the jump. In the episode The Five Doctors, the High Council (Rossilon is a member) offered the Master a new regenerative cycle. This is implying the limit can be replaced. I don’t say reset since the decay would still be occurring up to the 12th regeneration. Another example is from a recent and more widely seen episode. In Let’s Kill Hitler Melody Pond is in her third incarnation (her second regeneration) when she saved the 11th Doctor’s life by “transferring” all her remaining regenerations to the Doctor. This would result in one of three outcomes. First, her remaining nine regenerations were simply added to the Doctor’s remaining regenerations to give him a possible eleven more regenerations. The second outcome is through a default fail safe that would be presumed...

...one sector of the labor market? The impact on supply and demand was critical in the Luddite revolt. It all begins in 1779 when the failure of a Bill to regulate the frame-knitting industry had resulted in 300 frames being smashed and thrown into the streets. This is where the shortage of the supply begins. Then, by 1810 the Orders in Council and a change in fashion had led to deterioration in the standard of craftsmanship required in stocking making and a consequent cheapening of the trade. It was the attempt to intimidate some masters who brought in the new machines that caused Nottingham stocking knitters to smash the machines. (http://www.victorianweb.org/history/riots/luddites.html) Then the impact on the demand of Stocking knitting became predominantly a domestic industry, the stockier renting his frame from the Master and working in his own 'shop' using thread given to him by the Master; the finished items were handed back to the Master to sell. The frames were therefore scattered round the villages; this cause the demand to increase it then became easy for the Luddites to smash a frame and then disappear. Between March 1811 and February 1812 the supply of frames had been affected. About a thousand machines at the cost of between 6,000 and 10,000 were smashed. This had a damaging impact on the supply and demand (http://www.victorianweb.org/history/riots/luddites.html) Explain the factors that affected labor demand and labor supply in the chosen historical example...

...A Storm Gathering In a third world country, Sudan, a man called Malik, is working hard to get supplies for the town.
