...Describe the subject matter of each of these two paintings [10] The subject matter of both paintings is self portrait, in which case would be Affandi and van Gogh respectively. In Affandi’s Self Portrait, the subject matter depicted is like the title aptly puts, himself, albeit in a more unconventional and abstracted manner. This is as opposed to the more realistic manner in which van Gogh has depicted himself in Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear. In Self Portrait, Affandi has characterised himself as a semi-abstracted figure against a plain background, with the highly detailed face in stark contrast with his torso, which as suggested by its dark green contour only (without any colouring within), appears to only be vaguely apparent. Affandi also seems to be placing extreme focus on the human emotions or mood, presumably meant to be conveyed by the extremely detailed expression on the face that he has painted. In fact,everything is lumped together (in fact, most of the colours used) on the face in his painting. Upon closer examination, one would find that Affandi’s face as depicted in this work is actually more of a mass of red rather than anything else, and lined with blobs of different colours (namely yellow and green) presumably to represent the hair. Details on the face are not clearly made out, rather only a faint outline of the eyebrows, eyes and nose is apparent. This is as opposed to Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear in which van Gogh has similarly depicted himself, albeit...

...Erin Dietz Professor Barlond-Maas IDS 111-07 September 10, 2013 Describe a Place Every slow second that passed, my already rushing adrenaline began to pump through my body faster and faster. With every breath, staying calm, and focused, felt like more of a struggle. Today was the day of cheerleading regionals, and to make my anxiety even worse, it was my senior year. So, this was it, my last chance. I walked into the huge, bright, and shiny gym that reeked of sweat and hotdogs. I didn’t pay to much attention to the already quick growing crowd of parents, friends, teachers and other supporters. My eyes were stuck on the big, blue mats right in the middle of the shiny floors. It was all so real, the last four years of hard practice and conditioning all for this last chance. To achieve the dream I’ve had since age 10. I wanted to go to sates. I went to see my team who were all dressed in long sleeve orange and black uniforms with big bows on the top of their heads and shoes so white it hurts my eyes. Each one of my teammates couldn’t stop jumping around like little bunnies to try to keep their adrenaline at bay. They all were just as excited, but nervous as I was. For these next 3 minutes on the mat, we would become one for the last time, all of us moving together in perfect harmony. We walked into the hallway to wait for our turn; we all just watched each other move, not saying a word. It was finally our turn, everyone looked at me and all I can say is “This is it”. The...

...I describe myself as outgoing, hardworking, independent, eager to learn person wishing to grow professionally. My hard work fetched me a 95% grade in my high school "A" levels and because of my outgoing Independent nature I decided to study Engineering at NUS Singapore as an International student from India. A flaw in my working style is that I tend to approach problems in a convoluted way, rather than the quickest path, as I believe a sufficient understanding of the foundation of the problem is essential to arrive at an optimal solution. Slowly I am overcoming that problem as I gained sufficient skills with time and maturity. As a student of Engineering and Technology with a strong desire for Mathematics and Problem solving with analytical skills and being a Pro Business person I can work on my own and as a team for getting the desired result in shortest time. Besides studies I hold responsible positions in various community services and charitable clubs and organizations on campus. We conduct blood donation camps and educational camps periodically. I also listen to music and play tennis at leisure. As a mechanical engineer, I wish to fully utilize the knowledge that I have gained from my studies at NUS. I would prefer at the beginning of my career, to work in highly technical roles that gives me opportunities to apply my core engineering knowledge to real life applications. Later on, I would like to take up more challenging roles that require leadership skills and would want...

...In this assignment I will be comparing and contrasting the differences between BP and the North London Hospice. These are two extremely different businesses that have completely different aims and ambitions. The first major and obvious contrasts between these two companies are that BP is a limited company whereas the North London Hospice is a charity. BP The brief history of BP BP's businesses are organized to deliver the energy products and services people around the world need right now. BP’s history is full of discoveries, starting in 1908 with oil found in a rugged part of Persia after a long and difficult search. Since then, discoveries large and small have fuelled their progress. Through BP’s two main operating segments, Upstream and Downstream, BP find, develop and produce essential sources of energy, turning them into products that people need.

...I would explain learning, as using the God given gift we already have to be successful in the classroom and in everyday life. We all have certain learning patterns that we really don’t realize, until we are taught what they are and how to use them. My views on learning have really changed from this class. I’m very grateful to have learned all the info I did about how my brain works. I always struggled with certain areas when learning a new task and never understood why. Now I know from my learning patterns that those things I struggled with, can be used as a strength to learn. I’ve learned that if you make a serious effort to grasp a subject that you can become a successful learner. I use my sequence learning pattern a lot in my everyday life, but mainly on the basketball court. I like to plan things out as far as my workouts go. I cant afford to think unclear when it comes to that! The way I’ve been utilizing my use 1st sequence in this class is breaking my steps down in order they need to be completed. Then planning the assignments out from top to bottom and trying my best to finish them on time. I have always used precision a lot more recently, especially in my job where I wok with kids. I had to make sure I knew every bit of detail about the job before I started it. I asked my boss many questions, some that proboably got on his nerves but I needed to know. I do not like having any doubt and when I do I ask questions. I took notes when he was explaining the job so that...

...The blitz , (blitzkreig) is the name given to the persistent and heavy bombing by the luftwaffe on British cities during WW2. The Blitz began in London by accident. On the 24th of August , 1940 German bombers were aiming for military targets near London wandered off course and ended up bombing on the centre of London destroying a few homes and killing civilians. The British public were outraged and Winston Churchill believed that the attack was on purpose and he ordered the RAF to bomb Berlin the next evening. A few RAF bombers reached Berlin and destroyed some homes. Germany was very suprised by the suprise attack on the heart of their country. They had been assured that it would never happen by the chief general of the luftwaffe Hermann Göring. Further British attacks took place and the Nazis were enraged and in a speech Hitler promised to double the amount of bombing that Britain did. On September 7th , 1940 and for 57 more nights , London was bombed. This was the start of the blitz. However , London wasn't the only city that was bombed , industrial power houses such as Liverpool , Birmingham , Plymouth , Glasgow , Coventry and Belfast were also bombed because they were key to Britains war effort all contributing in some way such as raw materials , linen , and ships. During the Blitz Britain sustained heavy losses , 32,000 civilians were killed and 87,000 were seriously injured , 2 million houses (60% of these in London) were destroyed.

...After completing the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II test I am an ISFJ. I fall under the category of Guardians as a Protector. Keirsey (1998) describes ISFJ Protectors as “having the primary desire to be of service and to minister to others.”(p. 112) I have always seen the role of caring and nurturing others as my responsibility. Consistent, sensible, unimpulsive, and hardworking are just some of the words used to describe SJs. These traits sum up my personality. Throughout my life I have been a “think everything through, by the book” type of person. I thoroughly think about all decisions before acting upon them. SJs are painstakingly detailed which describes my work ethic. I am known to redo things several times until I feel I...

...Freedom is the thing that describes America. It's what we fight for, it's what we strived for, and what some of us die for. Freedom separates us from each other, or combines us together. After all if we didn't have it, we would be in no position to fight. It's just how we strive! But sometimes we have to think, “if I do this, what would be the reaction”, the thing is, we don't know, until we try. We Americans DO try, and that's what makes us, our nation unique! We can't predict the future, and that's why we have Freedom! Its there to make people happier, bolder, stronger, more independent people. When you think of America, do you think of a forced religion? Of course not, and that's just one of many differences in this beautiful nation! After...

...Describe the structure and function of haemoglobin * Haemoglobin is the oxygen carrying pigment found in red blood cells. It transports oxygen from the lungs in the blood to the respiring tissues. * Haemoglobin is a globular protein and is made up of four polypeptide chains two of which are alpha chains and the other two are identical beta chains. Each of the beta chains has a tertiary structure * The four polypeptide chains pack closely together into a spherical shape with their hydrophobic R groups pointing inwards towards the centre of the molecule and their hydrophilic ones pointing outwards * The interactions between the hydrophobic R groups make the correct 3-D shape * The hydrophilic R groups are essential to maintain the solubility * The tertiary structure of haemoglobin makes it soluble. The hydrophilic chains are therefore able to make hydrogen bonds with the water molecules * Also the haemoglobin has the ability to bind with oxygen. The haem group contained within each polypeptide chain enables the haemoglobin molecule to combine with the oxygen. Oxygen molecules combine with the iron ion Fe2+ in the haem group. One oxygen molecule (with two oxygen atoms) combine with each haem group so one haemoglobin molecule can combine with four oxygen molecules (eight oxygen atoms). * Also the haemoglobin has the ability to pick up and release oxygen. The overall shape of the haemoglobin enables it to pick up oxygen when the relative concentration...

...Describe Judaism is a complicated religion and it has a complicated history. There are just over 6.5 million Jews living in Israel alone, and many more around the world. Israel became a country in 1948 after the horrific period, known as the Holocaust, from 1933 to 1945. The German Party in charge at the time, the Nazis, murdered approximately six million European Jews in one of the worst genocides of the Jews. There have been large debates over whether Judaism is a religion, a race, a culture/ethnic group, a nation or a family. The best way to describe Judaism, in my eyes, would be that the Jewish people are a family and Judaism is a religion. The Torah (which is read by chanting) and the Tanakh, the first five books of the Jewish Bible and the Jewish Bible, explain that the main patriarch, Abram (Abraham) followed G-d’s instruction that he should leave his country, family and beliefs and in...
