...novel and often tore the characters apart for one another. Alvarez gives many examples throughout the novel that depict the female characters as trying to both challenge and conform to the tradition gender roles expected of them by their traditional Dominican heritage. Sofia (Fifi), the youngest of the sister challenged and conformed at times many of the traditional general roles expected of her by her patriarchal culture. It can be argued that Fifi assimilated to the American society’s gender roles quicker and easier than her sisters because she was the youngest when they moved to America she only really experienced her traditional Hispanic culture when going back to spend summers with her extended family. During one of Sofia’s extended stays in the Dominican Republic she did conform to the gender roles that were expected of her there, much to the disapproval of her sisters. “We [the other sisters] begin to get the long view, and it’s not so pretty. Lovable Manuel is quite the tyrant, a mini papa and mami rolled into one. Fifi can’t wear pants in public. Fifi can’t talk to another man. Fifi can’t leave the house without his permission. And what’s most disturbing is that Fifi, feisty, lively Fifi, is...

An important discovery she made during that time was the observed learning between mother and child. Case in point, the female chimpanzee Flo, her daughter, Fifi and her infant son, Flint. As Flint matured, he went from being carried securely at the breast to riding on his mother’s back (106). Dr. Goodall observed on several occasions Fifi’s attempts to have Flint ride on top of her back instead (106). This example of observed learning underlines the chimpanzee’s ability to clearly and logically process information and mimic actions. Observed learning is an essential way information is passed amongst humans and another shared trait with their human relative. The chimpanzee’s patterns of observed learning once more exemplifies the advanced abilities of these hunter-gathers as more than...

...individuals post confrontation or to address adolescents (118). Dr. Goodall’s observation of physical touch is comparable to many human social cues used for angry, comfort, or assurance. These accounts are again another example of the singularities shared between chimpanzee and man. To interpret the lives of chimpanzees as ‘nasty” overlooks the emotional significance in physical communication for chimpanzee hierarchy and ignores the complex means of their social structures. During Dr. Goodall’s time at Gombe she was able to extensively document the chimpanzee’s abilities to learn and problem solve. An important discovery of here was observed learning between mother and child. Case in point, the female chimpanzee Flo, her daughter, Fifi and her infant son, Flint.

Dr. Goodall observed on several occasions Fifi’s attempts to have Flint ride on top of her back instead (106). This example of observed learning underlines the chimpanzee’s ability to logically process information and mimic actions. Chimps and human both use observed learning as an essential tool to pass information. The chimp’s patterns of observed learning once more exemplify the advanced abilities of these hunter-gathers as more than “brutish”. In Dr. Goodall’s work, she observed chimpanzees in all stages of life. Chimpanzees can live up to fifty years in captivity and Dr. Goodall, observed Gombe...

...The Boeing B-29 Superfortress is a heavy bomber designed by Boeing that was flown primarily by the United States in World War II and during the Korean War. It has four 2,200-horsepower Wright Double Cyclone engines. This bomber has a wingspan of 141 feet 3 inches, and is 99 feet in length. It has a gross weight of 105,000 pounds (140,000 pounds postwar), an empty weight of 69,610 pounds. The B-29 has a top speed of 365 miles per hour, and a cruising speed of 220 miles per hour. It was also armed with twelve .50-caliber machine guns, one 20 mm cannon, a 20,000-pound bomb load, and carried a crew of ten. The first prototype made its maiden flight from Boeing Field in Seattle, WA on September 21, 1942. In the beginning, manufacturing an airworthy B-29 Superfortress proved to be a difficult task. Changes to the production craft came so often and so quickly that in early 1944, B-29’s flew from the production lines directly to United States Air Force modification depots for extensive rebuilds, and to incorporate the latest changes. By the end of 1943, just over 100 B-29’s were delivered, and only fifteen percent were airworthy. General Hap Arnold had a plan to resolve the problem, with production personnel being sent from the factories to the modification centers to speed modification. 150 aircraft were airworthy six weeks. The B-29 Superfortress revolutionized World War II-era bombers, enabling long-range missions over Japan. The "super bomber" could carry more payload and fly...

Few nations around the world knew about the conditions of civilians in that war, therefore France set a team of French Doctors who collaborated with the French Red Cross to work in hospitals in Nigeria.

...Poems). The first poem, Masnavi adopts its name from music where it is flowing in rhythm. Rumi wrote 18 couplets and dictated the rest.He told many stories of his own, but also borrowed from Arabic, Persian, Jewish sources, Quran and Hadith. Masnavi was completed in 14 years and arranged in 6 chapters which was written by Rumi himself. The writings was naturally and unplanned, it was like a theater, a play show involving many characteristics (Whinfield). The second famous poem Rumi wrote was Divan-I Kabir (The Great Collection of Poems), it is also called Divan-I Shams due to its last couplets.

...The Luxury Evolution Every generation redefines its definition of luxury. How they relate to it or reject it. From the “more generation”, to the X, we have seen everything from conspicuous consumption to less is more. Each generation also redefines its relationship to luxury. The evolution of social, political and economic factors is just a few of the major defining elements in any generation’s approach to luxury products. How a particular group defines luxury is often influenced by the preceding generation’s relationship to it. Is it a coincidence that the lean, Generation-X “less is more” philosophy of the 1990’s immediately followed the Baby Boomer’s conspicuous consumption ideals of the 1980’s. No business lives or dies more by the definition of luxury, than the Cosmetics Industry. From mass to class distribution to direct sell, luxury is the name, of the game. Revolution or evolution, defining luxury becomes the bete noir as the baton is handed to each new generation The Cosmetics Industry lives on its ability to provide luxury goods (No matter the definition) more than any other. It is imperative that we not Only understand how varying market segments define luxury and thereby consume it, but equally important that we can predict how fresh and upcoming markets will define their unique relationship to it. As an industry we must ask ourselves, are we open to deconstructing traditional definitions of what constitutes luxury? What new requisites will tomorrow’s...

...Sample Paper Q1. A nonprofit organization depends on a number of different types of persons for its successful operation. The organization is interested in the following attributes for all of these persons: SSN, Name, Address, City and Telephone. Three types of persons are of greatest interest: employees, volunteers and donors. Employees have only a DateHired attribute and volunteers have only a skill attribute. Donors only have a relationship (named Donates) with an Item entity type. A donor must have donated one or more items and an item may have no donors, or one or more donors. There are persons other than employees, volunteers and donors who are of interest to the organization, so that a person need not belong to any of these three groups. On the other hand, at a given time a person may belong to two or more these groups, e.g. employee and donor. Include a subclass discriminator (named PersonType) in your diagram. a) Identify the main entity types [7 marks] b) Identify the main relationship types and specify the multiplicity for each relationship.

...The film takes place presumably in the late 18th century. In the film's prologue, an enchantress disguised as an old beggar woman offers a selfish young prince a rose in exchange for a night's shelter from the extreme cold, as a test of his heart and emotion. When he turns her away, repulsed by her old and ugly appearance and sneering at the simple but lovely gift, she turns into an Enchantress and punishes him by transforming him into an ugly beast and turns his servants into furniture and other household items. She gives him a magic mirror that will enable him to view faraway events, and also gives him the rose. He must love and be loved in return before all the rose's petals have fallen off, or he will remain a beast forever. Years later, the film's beauty queen, young and enthusiastic lady, a hopeful dreamer, called Belle, is the smartest, best-read person in a small provincial French town. As such, she is hotly pursued by Gaston, the lantern-jawed man. Wandering through her village while reading a book, Belle becomes the focus of a spectacular opening number that captures the atmosphere of the whole film. Bit by bit, the population trickles out to greet Belle and gossip about her, while she herself bemoans the small-mindedness of the place. This beautiful girl is the daughter of Maurice, who is an old inventor, still trying to rise as a phoenix and turn his dreams into a beautiful reality, that offers a better future for his family. Maurice's latest invention is a...

...Well, as Chris pointed out, I study the human brain, the functions and structure of the human brain. And I just want you to think for a minute about what this entails. Here is this mass of jelly, three-pound mass of jelly you can hold in the palm of your hand, and it can contemplate the vastness of interstellar space. It can contemplate the meaning of infinity and it can contemplate itself contemplating on the meaning of infinity. And this peculiar recursive quality that we call self-awareness, which I think is the holy grail of neuroscience, of neurology, and hopefully, someday, we'll understand how that happens. 0:51OK, so how do you study this mysterious organ? I mean, you have 100 billion nerve cells, little wisps of protoplasm, interacting with each other, and from this activity emerges the whole spectrum of abilitiesthat we call human nature and human consciousness. How does this happen? Well, there are many ways of approaching the functions of the human brain. One approach, the one we use mainly, is to look at patients with sustained damage to a small region of the brain, where there's been a genetic change in a small region of the brain. What then happens is not an across-the-board reduction in all your mental capacities, a sort of blunting of your cognitive ability. What you get is a highly selective loss of one function, with other functions being preserved intact, and this gives you some confidence in assertingthat that part of the brain is somehow involved in mediating...
