...Cowley Paper #1 During the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth century the primary driving force for all cultures can be summed up by one simple word, and that word is greed. Many of the countries that had power at the time were greedy savages and all they wanted was more land and power. Countries that were powerful at the time were Spain, Portugal, Japan, and others. Also in the countries the governing body of them had their way or the highway they did not care what had to be done or who had to be killed. If the ruler of a certain country did not like something they did not care what had to be done to stop it. Powerful countries at the time such as Spain and Portugal only cared about power and one word that sums them up is greed. During the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth century Spain was one of the most powerful countries. When Columbus set sail in 1492, he founded the Americas and all that came with the, such as gold spices, and other expenses, this is how Spain became extremely rich and powerful. This land that Columbus founded was known as the New World. It is described by Michel de Montaigne in Of Cannibals " New World so lately discovered: for that almost touched upon Spain, and it were an incredible effect of an inundation, to have tumbled back so prodigious a mass, above twelve hundred leagues." Columbus was known for founding the Americas, the truth was he set sail for the Indies. When he landed in the America's he thought it was the Indies. As...

...Matt Mendez Religion Professor Heekin February 25, 2013 Deep River Shusaku Endo’s book, Deep River traces four tourists going on a spiritual journey to the country of India. These four Japanese people converge at the Ganges River, the holy river in Varanasi. This is where they want to reconcile themselves with their past experiences they had in their life. Isobe is a man that lost his wife from cancer and goes to India to try and find her reincarnated. Kigushi is another person traveling to India, who is a Japanese, World War 2 war veteran wanting to perform a ceremony for all the soldiers in Burma who died. These two characters endure a pilgrimage where a transformation is made in their life. Isobe was a man who had a wife, Kieko and a daughter but focused on his job everyday. He did not give or show affection to his wife and had several affairs. He did not think of his wife as a companion but rather just as a figure in his life. As the narrator states, “He was the kind of man who was embarrassed to reveal his own feelings openly in words or on his face, the kind of husband who hoped for a relationship in which his would understand him even if he did not utter a word” (12). His world changes when his wife gets diagnosed with a severe case of cancer and ends up dying. Keiko’s last words to Isobe are that she wants him to find her after she dies because she knows that she will be reincarnated. He can’t cope with the loss of his wife and finally realizes how much...

...activist by the name of Todd Endo, remembers that night of the march from Montgomery, Alabama to Salma, Alabama, On March 7th 1965. As Endo watched the evening news, he recognized the assistant minister from All Souls’ Unitarian Church in Washington, DC. Endo had worked with the minister the summer before on a community service project. Minister Reeb booked a flight went to Salma, Alabama after seeing the brutal attack on a peaceful group of demonstrators as they attempted to make their way across the E. Pettus Bridge demanding voting rights. As the event took place, it was nationally broadcasted around the entire country. Many people who watched the reported inhumane attack, fled to Salma Alabama to try and help many Black Americans. The news reporter’s reported that minister Reeb was badly beaten by two white segregationist, Minister Reeb died two days after he was attacked. This day would come to be known as “Bloody Sunday” March 11th...

...were confirmed to be cis-norbornene-5,6-endo-dicarboxylicacid anhydride. This amount determined a percent yield of 83.16 %. The percent yield is only 83.16 % because some product was lost during vacuum filtration. This loss could have been prevented by using colder water to transfer the crystals. The retrieve all of the crystals out of the flask, cool water was used. This caused some of the crystal dissolved and pass through the filter. The use of colder waster would prevent the crystals from dissolving. However, the amount that was lost was minimal, and the identification of the product was still confirmed by melting point, IR, and NMR. The melting point for the product was found to be 164-166 ˚C. This range coincides with the...

...hydrolysis [28,59]. Moreover, no inhibitory by-product is formed in enzymatic hydrolysis [58]. However, enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out by cellulase enzymes that are highly substrate specific [23,59]. Here cellulase and hemicellulase enzymes cleave the bonds of cellulose and hemicellulose respectively. Cellulose contains glucan and hemicellulose contains different sugar units such as mannan, xylan, glucan, galactan and arabinan. Cellulase enzymes involve endo and exoglucanase and b-glucosidases. Endoglucanase (endo 1,4-D glucanhydrolase or E.C. 3.2.1.4) attacks the low crystallinity regions of the cellulose fiber, exoglucanase (1,4-b-D glucan cellobiohydrolase or E.C. 3.2.1.91) removes the cellobiase units from the free chain ends and finally cellobiose units are hydrolysed to glucose by b-glucosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.21) [23,59]. Hemicellulolytic enzymes are more complex and are a mixture of at least eight enzymes such as endo-1,4-b-D-xylanases, exo-1,4-b-D xylocuronidases, a-L-arabinofuranosidases, endo-1,4-b-D mannanases, b-mannosidases, acetyl xylan esterases, a-glucoronidases and a-galactosidases [60]. Cellulose is hydrolysed to glucose whereas hemicellulose gives rise to several pentoses and hexoses. Several species of Clostridium, Cellulomonas, Thermonospora, Bacillus,...

...During and after World War II, Supreme Court tried many cases that only pertained to wartime crimes and military laws. Of these cases, some violated the rights of American citizens based on ethnicity alone, while others dealt with Nazi spies and saboteurs. In the Quirin and Yamashita and Eisentrager cases, the Supreme Court ruled that captured enemy prisoners are to be dealt with by the Executive branch. The military has the authority to capture and hold lawful soldiers and war criminals. War criminals and unlawful soldiers can also be punished by the military. In the Quirin case, eight Nazi terrorists where captured. They had entered the U.S. illegally by submarine and had attempted to blend in. Their goal was to commit several terrorist...

...Keeping up with the immense fear, panic, and suspicion of a certain group, the government fed into this idea with a drastic change to settle the public’s nerves: Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066, which made the detainment and internment of Japanese Americans legal. In order to “overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution” with this unjust act, various everyday-Americans-turned-activists took the fight to the Judicial Branch to stop their ethnic group from being discriminated against, persecuted, and detained. Notable figures included Gordon Hirabayashi, Fred Korematsu, and Mitsuye Endo who each did their part to combat their President’s unconstitutional order. According to Oyez.org, a judicial archive of the Supreme Court, during Hirabayashi’s case, “The Court ducked the thorny relocation issue and focused solely on the curfew, which the Court viewed as a necessary ‘protective measure.’ Stone argued that racial discrimination was justified since ‘in time of war residents having ethnic affiliations with an invading enemy may be a greater source of danger than those of a different ancestry’”. While Hirabayashi lost the case against Roosevelt’s violation of the Constitution that relocated and detained an ethnic group...

...the United States. The case ruled that the War Relocation Authority “has no authority to subject citizens who are concededly loyal to its leave procedure.” (History) The case was brought on the side of Mitsuye Endo, the daughter of a Japanese immigrants from Sacramento, CA. Endo refuses while the government asked to free her after filing a habeas corpus petition. Instead Endo came to decision wanting her case to address the entire issue of Japanese internment. Couple years later, the Supreme Court made the decision, but gave President Roosevelt the chance to begin camp closures before the announcement. A day after President Roosevelt made his announcement, the Supreme Court revealed its decision. Not until years later in 1987, where there was the Civil Rights Restoration Act, which is when the U.S. government address the wrongs that they have committed with their retribution was paying 20,000 dollars and an official apology for each surviving individual affected by the Executive Order 9066. The first remedy was not introduced in...

...My final recommendation would be to educate all people in Japan on the toxicity of whale meat (Endo 2003). Currently, a lot of Japanese people are unaware of the fact that so much is being spent on whaling subsidies. Research data by the Nippon Research center (2011-2012) suggests that most Japanese citizens (~88%) do not purchase whale meat (Mulvaney 2013). Moreover, ~47% tend to oppose the use of public money to fund whaling (Mulvaney 2013). Notably, current research polls show that Japanese students are actually in favor of school meat lunches (Bowett 2009). There appears to be a disconnect between the meat market, whaling funding, and the amount the government actually spends to support whaling. If there was a mandatory education class in schools, rather than pushing for whale meat school lunches, we could see a turnaround on the...

...Chapter 4 – Design Tools: Jackson Structured Programming (JSP) 4.1 Three Structured Constructs All programs can be constructed using only the three basic constructs. It is the concept of structured programming that a program should be developed using only these three basic constructs. It is not wrong to use the GOTO structure but it is discouraged, because programs with the GOTO structure are often classified as unstructured. The three basic constructs are: 1. Sequence 2. Selection 3. Iteration/Repetition 4.1.1 Sequence Construct In a sequence construct, the way the statements are placed implies the order in which the computer will execute the statements. The computer will interpret the statements in a left to right, top to bottom fashion. Consider the following: Calculate-Average Module DO Get Two Numbers Calculate Sum Determine Average Print Average ENDDO The sequence for the above module is straightforward. You get the two numbers, calculate the sum, determine the average and print out the result. If the statements are not in that sequence, the result obtained will not be the answer intended! Figure 4-1: Simple sequence The Calculate Average module is not a separate module away from the rest of the four modules below it. But it actually contains all the four modules. Each process (a rectangle) represents a component with their function/action...
