...discovered DNA was a double helix (a double helix looks like a twisted ladder). The discovery of Watson and Crick opened the door helping describe the significance and importance of DNA as the molecule of inheritance while addressing the structure of the DNA molecule, and why is a molecule of DNA so perfect for the job it performs. I will look at what exactly does DNA code for, how is that translated into actual traits, what are mitosis and meiosis, what are the similarities and differences, and what do mitosis and meiosis allow for. I will show how traits are passed from parents to offspring and lastly describe how knowledge of DNA and genetics can help in my life. The Significance and Importance of deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) as the Molecule of Inheritance The significance and importance of DNA “is the body’s instruction manual for making you who you are. It is present in any living being. It carries all the instructions and materials the body needs to function”(Leving, 2008). The DNA in cells is all the same for individuals, which create a specific identity for each individual. Discuss Briefly the structure of the DNA Molecule and Why is a Molecule of DNA so Perfect for the Job it performs? DNA contains two strains of building blocks called nucleotides, which are arranged like a spiral staircase. The nucleotide includes three parts, phosphate group, sugar molecule, and one of four bases, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. The sugar phosphate bonds form the...

...believe comparing these pieces of art will create a greater sense of what makes art appealing and why some art may make more of an impact on society than other pieces. The first piece of art I will be analyzing is Nude Descending a Staircase by Marcel Duchamp. Many people recognize Marcel duchamp as one of the greatest influences in 20th century art history. From Great Modern masters Jose Maria Faerna says, “Duchamp is one of those rare personalities whose influence directly altered the course of history, in this case art history, dividing it into a before and after.” Many people think that realms of art we utilize today would have simply been impassable without Marcel Duchamp. By 1912 Duchamp had mastered the art of using paint as a medium and realized that he would spend the next portion of his life pushing the limits of paint as an art form. The piece I will be analyzing is a piece presented in the Lexington Avenue Armory in 1912. This famous exhibit displayed more than 1,000 pieces of art by many different credible and revolutionary artists. Some artists that were featured in this exhibit were Picasso, Matisse, Manet, and Cézanne, to give an idea of the caliber of art that this museum deals with. Marcel Duchamp’s Nude Descending a Staircase (No. 2) was the only piece in this exhibit to be ridiculed in the way that it was. People packed the Lexington Avenue Armory beyond standing room to view the controversy this piece had uproared. In this time, the people viewing this...

...Unit 5 Text „One stair up“ The excerpt under analysis is taken from the book „Up the down staircase“, which was published in 1965 and was written by Bel Kaufman. Bel Kaufman was an American writer, who worked as a teacher of the English language and literature in a New York high school for 15 years. This book tells readers about the experience of a young high school teacher and what is peculiar about the novel is that it includes some autobiographical episodes. The subject matter of the excerpt is impressions of the job of a young school teacher Sylvia Barrett, who is disappointed with the system of education and who faces with the indifference of her students, and the incompetence of many of her colleagues. Sylvia writes to her friend about all the difficulties she has and how she gets over the obstacles. She managed to describe colorfully all the sides of his extremely hard work. The plot is developed on the basis of conflict between man and society: a young teacher stands up against the established order, she is against the way many teachers work at school and foster children. The organization of the contents is straight-narrative presentation, because the events are given in their chronological order. As for the type of narration, the description of school life and the conditions into the public high school system, the advice given by professors of how to teach “not the subject but the whole child” and the descriptions of teachers and the school authorities...

...Art History Term Paper “Leon Battista Alberti critiquing The Opéra in Paris by Charles Garnier” Art History 202 April 19, 2010 The Pennsylvania State University “A man can do all things if he but wills them”, is what I respond to people when they ask me how I come up with such amazing ideas for my buildings and books. My name is Leon Battista Alberti, and Architecture is my life. I was born in Genoa in 1404, which was during the Early Renaissance times. Even though I’m an architect, I have always been interested in other subjects such as math, music, painting, philosophy, sculptures, crafts, and artistic theories as well, which many would consider me as a Humanist during my times. Unlike many other architects who are interested in Greek architecture, I have a great interest in the future: in the reviving of Roman architecture. I even wrote a book called On the Art of Building in Ten Books, in which I cover a wide range of subjects from history to town planning and engineering to the philosophy of beauty. Many people have told me that I have been such an influential architect and that my buildings and philosophy will have a great impact in the architecture of the future, but never did I believe it was going to be that way. “What a better way to find out the truth, but by experiencing it by myself?” I thought, so I went to my close friend Leonardo Da Vinci, who invented a time machine to take me to the future, and this is where my adventure began… Figure 1: Avenue de...

...with his own unique personality, giving them a presence all their own (Fain 53). Most often in modern times he is remembered for his movies made with Shirley Temple, of which there were four, and more specifically with his stair routines. Although almost any dancing was enjoyable to Robinson, he gained the most popularity through his efforts made in the genre of tap. His choreographic creativity in which he used tap steps to move up and down stair steps gave him a unique and previously unseen talent that furthered his popularity. “Bojangles is credited with creating The Little Colonel’s dance on the staircase, and Fred Astaire proclaimed Robinson as the greatest dancer of all time” (Fain 54). Robinson’s final performance on film was for Stormy Weather, produced in 1943. It is believed to be a tribute to his own life, and this on its own sheds light on the acceptance and importance of the man. The same decade saw a great decline in the acceptance of stereotypical black roles used in comedies and musicals for entertainment. Finally, there was an apparent disinterest in the classic portrayal. Unfortunately, this also led to a period of time in which black performers were not as present in Hollywood. Stormy Weather therefore marked the end of Robinson’s career, and in 1949 the legend had reached the end of his life, dying in New York City due to poor heart health. Although Robinson gained great acclaim for his usage and progression of tap dancing, it is important to note how his success...

...“Pioneers of Modern Architecture: Importance of their contribution in the development of 20th Century Architecture” Modernism roughly spans the time between World War I and the early 1970s. In regards to architecture, this particular movement or style is characterized by simplification of form and subtraction of ornament from the structure and theme of the building. Intrigued by the emerging technologies of the day, they mostly used concrete, glass, or steel in their revolutionary creations. They eschewed ornament, rejecting what they saw as the frivolous strokes of Victorian and art nouveau styles. At the same time new technological developments continued to influence architects' designs, such as the development of complex air conditioning and heating systems allowed modern architectures to spread from the temperate climates of Europe and North America to countries with extremely varied weather conditions such as India, as seen in the National Assembly Building in Dacca Bangladesh by Louis Kahn. Instead of viewing a building as a heavy mass made of ponderous materials, the leading pioneers of modern architecture considered it as a volume of space enclosed by light, thin curtain walls and resting on slender piers. The visual aesthetic of modern architecture was largely inspired by the machine and by abstract painting and sculpture. Since World War II, modern architecture has admitted a certain amount of free play in buildings of various designs. In all, the required ...

...are about 180 miles and were created by the Anasazis. The most famous of these roads is the Great North Road, which was the longest of the Chaco Roads and went even beyond the canyon limits. The road is very long but has barely any communities surrounding it, and seems to go nowhere. However, Archaeologists have different beliefs of the uses and importance of the great road. According to Marshall and Sofaer, the Great North Road is one of the most mysterious aspects of the Anasazi culture because the purposes for its use by the Anasazi people, does not explain many of the construction features of the road. The roads are thought to have been used by the Anasazi people for trade, transportation, and movement of people. It has also been thought that the Anasazi people were very religious and used the roads for the means of religious ceremonies as well. What makes the roads stand out so much is the width and length of the roads because it shows how well engineered the roads are. The roads were also leveled so well when being engineered, and some areas even have masonary construction where bricks are used. The road has ramps and staircases carved on to cliffs, and also gaps where the roads divide into four different roads. The purpose is a mystery because the extensive construction done to make the roads so long and wide does not make sense since there was no need for such big roads. Also, the roads appear to be very unused, so the reason as to why they were built is unclear. ...

...I decided to do my first response paper on the topic of dada art (pages 1148-1152). This art form in my opinion is the most conversial art form ever in America’s history and greatly interests me due to the misconception about this art form. With artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Raoul Hausmann, and Hans Arp, these artists show the complexity and un-guide lined art that is called data art. With this new form of art, people had no idea how to react to something that was not known as art for so many years but meaningless scribbles until the 20th century. I’m going to give you a little history and perspectives in this type of art, known as dada art. You will understand why this art form is much speculated to not be an art form but something that is being portrayed as “anti-art”. With similar acts of great self-expression shown throughout history, always comes some form of hate towards these expressions. Georges Hugnet the author of The Bulletin of the Museum of Modern Art Vol. 4, No. 2, Dada and Surrealism states that, “Dada is ageless, it has no parents, but stands alone, making no distinction between what is and what is not.” “It approves while denying, it contradicts itself, and acquires new force by this very contradiction.” The origin of dada art is said to be created by Romanian poet Tristan Tzara, yet Richard Huelsen and Hugo Ball had discovered the name dada by randomly by plunging a knife into a dictionary repeatedly. Dada was an international signifier of negation, which...

...Seeking Asylum: The Buffalo State Hospital In American architecture, one thing rang true: America borrowed from the greatest countries and empires. Throughout much of the early years of the United States, there was not a singular distinct type of architecture, both in the domestic and public sectors. Borrowing from well-established counties became a second nature. Hunting and pecking through thousands of years of pre designed architecture helped American architects, like Henry Hobson Richardson, grab the best of the best and led them to create marvelous masterpieces. From Greek and Roman flares to the beauty of Queen Anne and Federal style, American architects have waded through them all. By doing so, elaborate and attractive buildings began to pop up through much of the United States Eastern Seaboard. One of the most influential American Architects to come out of this time period is Henry Hobson Richardson. He helped develop a definite American Style of architecture and one of the most important. His influence on building design has made an impact on such architects as Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan. Siegfried Giedion, author of Space, Time and Architecture, states that “Richardson’s study of historical precedence- in this case Romanesque buildings-led to the design of the new forms Richardson was after.” Henry Hobson Richardson was born in a Louisiana Parish on September 29th, 1838 to Catherine Priestley and Henry Richardson. He was born into a well-to-do...

...User Manual Critique Munchkin Baby Gate User Manual Critique INTRODUCTION Almost any parent can attest to the importance of a good baby gate. The right gate can help keep your little one safe from many of the potential hazards around the house. In addition to protecting your child, a wall mounted baby gate is easier to use than a pressure mounted gate, typically looks better, and can be used safely at the top of a staircase. In order to reap the benefits of a wall mounted baby gate, it must be properly assembled, installed, and mounted. Most customers that buy a baby gate rely on the user manual included to help guide them through this assembly. Unfortunately, the majority of those that purchase the Munchkin Extended Baby Gate will find themselves very unsatisfied with the included user manual instructions. I know all too well how frustrating a poorly written user manual can be because I purchased the Munchkin Extended Baby Gate, and I had to suffer through the poor excuse of a manual provided. While the guide had some of the important pieces we expect from a solid user manual such as warranty information, hazard details, and equipment information; the manual does not however properly consider its audience. The manual also fails in its ease of use, and its document design. THE GOOD Ethical Instructions It is important for any successful user manual to be ethical. A key factor in doing this is to highlight the potential hazards and warnings involved in...
