...Jazz Concert analysis paper #1 On December 6th, 2012 I attended the jazz concert at Columbia Basin College. During the concert, there were a variety of different instruments being used throughout the concert. To the left of the stage there was four trombone players and one congo drummer, in the back there was five trumpet players, to the right side there was five saxophone players and in the front of all of the brass players there was a pianist and a bass guitarist. The drums and percussion instruments like the tambourine were used in selected songs during the concert. During the jazz ensembles performance they played six different songs. They played Acha by Bob Mintzer, And another thing by Tom Garling, Boppin to P-Town by Doug Stone, Bumps by Ladd McIntosh, Doozy by Benny Carter and Extensions by Patty Darling. Acha was played as a tribute to Bob who is a jazz artist who had come and played at Columbia Basin College in previous years. In his song there were some solos from the trombone and saxophone. I could hear some syncopation coming from the guitar and the song had more of a slow tempo mood. And another thing by Tom Garling used a piano, drum kit, five saxophones, five trumpets, four trombones, string bass and a congo drum. It used an AABA musical form. The song had a medium slow tempo to it and it had a 4/4 meter throughout. In the song there was improvisation from the drums, trumpets and saxophones. I got a free jazz feel from the song because it had some structure...

...Daniel Pauly and a team of others have identified the mean trophic level of catch (where the species exists on the food web in relation to plankton) as an important indicator of ecosystem health. A higher trophic level indicates the catch is more ‘steps’ away from plankton- for example, a fish with a trophic level of two eats a species which eats plankton. Watson and Pauly explains that this indicator is more applicable than comparing global landings, which are declining at a moderate rate, as global landings do not account for illegal and unreported catches, the increase in fishing efficiency due to technology, and importantly, the changing composition of the catch due to sever depletion in stocks of large fish such as tuna and cod. Declining trophic level is an indicator of a significant structural change in food webs, and loss and degradation biodiversity, especially of stocks of larger fish. The findings are significant, indicating...

...Plaintiff Ted Pauly purchased several beers and mixed drinks at the Houlihan’s Restaurant in Brick, New Jersey. However, the prices of these stuffs were not listed but still offered on the menu. After receiving the check from restaurant, Pauly had to pay it in full price. As a result, he complained that the prices were unreasonable high and proposed a class action for breaching the contract and unjust enrichment against Houlihan’s Restaurants. In term of breaching of contract, Defendant assumes that Pauly received exactly what he paid and he agreed the price without protest when he paid the bill. Moreover, Houlihan’s restaurant also believe that it did not receive any services or profit from Plaintiff, as a result, Plaintiff fails to state a claim for unjust enrichment. Defendant argues that Plaintiff’s claims should be dismissed because Houlihan’s Restaurant is just a franchisor. Finally, the Court rejected Defendants’ arguments....

...From the British Petroleum incident, not only was the large volume of oil spilled into the water, but also natural gas, methane and various chemical dispersants were released heavily (McCrea-Strub and Pauly 2011). This affected the environment, the habitats of many species and the health of humans (McCrea-Strub and Pauly 2011). When oil spills into a body of water such as The Gulf of Mexico, certain harmful components evaporate into the air (Kingston 2002). Furthermore, the type of oil spilled relates to the efficiency of evaporation which is not good for the environment (Kingston 2002). Oil spills can also cause the oxidation of certain volatile components more dangerous than the hydrocarbons that were released (Kingston 2002). In addition, hydrocarbons can also dissolve into the body of water causing a lot of contamination (Kingston 2002). The methane released is about forty percent by weight, which has a capability to wipe out the marine life (McCrea-Strub and Pauly 2011). Basically the methane produces oxygen low areas, taking away the oxygen supply from the marine life species, and in turn killing them (McCrea-Strub and Pauly 2011). When large amounts of contaminants such as oil, hydrocarbons and chemical dispersants are released into bodies of water and the surrounding environment, it causes water pollution, air pollution, destroys habitats, beaches,...

...Jensine Tomi Ms. Nataraj Sr. Honors Language Arts January18, 2011 Snooki: Change We Can Believe In Nicole Polizzi is a strong, beautiful, and independent woman. Most of the citizens in the United States of America recognize her as a character called “Snooki” in the world’s most popular reality television show called Jersey Shore. She is a role model for young teenagers as well as the other members of the show. Also, she has made a hairstyle called “The Poof” very popular. This new hairstyle has created a whole new trend in society. Everyone is trying to make their hair long and full of volume just like Nicole’s hair. Her elegance, class, and hair have made her a well-known public figure to society. Not only is she changing television, but now she plans on heading to the white house. She believes President Barack Obama’s stylist is harming the president’s physical appearance. The President of the United States of America is our country’s representative. The way he appears to the rest of the world is how the United States will be perceived. When a president is on top of the trends, it shows he is well informed and austere about what pleases the citizens of his country. If he does not dress fashionably, his former supporters who voted for him in the previous election may not vote for him again. Also, other political leaders will not be able to take him seriously if he is not up-to-date on what is modern and current. According to the magazine Hot Politics, Nursultan...

...unethical behavior are based on the article Cigarettes with “Defective Filters Marketed for 40 Years: What Philip Morris Never Told Smokers” (Pauly, 2002). Unethical Research According to the article Phillip Morris a major supplier of cigarettes world-wide has been selling filtered cigarettes for over 40 years with some major issues. While the cigarettes are made in the factory some of the micro filaments in the filter break making fragments. When the consumer goes to smoke the cigarette these fragments release when the individual is puffing. The problem with this is cellulose acetate fragments and carbon particles are released; when this occurs the filter is defective. Phillip Morris was aware of this problem naming it “fall-out” but did not disclose this information to the public and alert consumers that the product may be releasing harmful chemicals that are not normally released. Upon further review of Phillip Morris documents 61 documents containing information regarding fall-out were reviewed and the earliest reference to filter fall-out came from 1957 (Pauly, p. 51, 2002). “A 1999 report that details the revisions of the “fall-out” protocol of the Phillip Morris, Inc., and reports the results of tests that measured the discharge of cellulose acetate fibers and silica gel from beta cigarettes with a new type of filter” (Pauly, p. 51, 2002). Results of the tests...

...Abstract In this experiment different kinds of processes were done to isolate the different kinds of proteins. The protein casein was extracted from skimmed milk through isoelectric precipitation, albumin was also extracted from skimmed milk through heat denaturation, gluten was isolated from wheat flour through difference in solubility, and myoglobin from beef meat through salting out or salt-induced precipitation. The main objective of the qualitative color reaction of the proteins is to analyze the chemical groups present in the protein and explain the principle involved in each test. Biuret Test, Ninhydrin Test, Xanthoproteic Test, Millon’s Test, Hopkins-Cole Test, Sakaguchi Test, Nitroprusside Test, Fohl’s Test, Test for Amides, and Pauly Test were the different tests that were performed. Each test corresponds to the different reagents that were used. In the different tests performed, positive and negative results are gathered that indicates the presence or absence of a particular amino acid in the protein. Introduction Proteins are probably the most important class of biochemical molecules, although of course lipids and carbohydrates are also essential for life. Proteins are the basis for the major structural components of animal and human tissue. Proteins are natural polymer molecules consisting of amino acid units. The number of amino acids in proteins may range from two to several thousand.[3]Biologically active proteins are polymers consisting of amino acids linked...

...Journal of Health Economics journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/econbase Moral hazard in insurance, value-based cost sharing, and the benefits of blissful ignorance Mark V. Pauly ∗ , Fredric E. Blavin Health Care Systems Department, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, 3641 Locust Walk, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6218, United States a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t The conventional theory of optimal coinsurance rates for health insurance with moral hazard indicates that coinsurance should vary with the price responsiveness or price-elasticity of demand for different medical services. An alternative theory called “value-based cost sharing” indicates that coinsurance should be lower for services with higher (marginal) benefits relative to costs. This paper reconciles the two views. It shows that, if patient demands are based on correct information, optimal coinsurance is the same under either theory. If patient demands differ from informed demands, optimal coinsurance depends both on information imperfection and price responsiveness. Value-based cost sharing can be superior to providing information (even if the cost of information is minimal) when patient demands fall short of informed demands. An extended numerical example illustrates these points. © 2008 Published by Elsevier B.V.

...Shaan Ansari Anthropology 101 UIN: 672171442 Alex 3:00-3:50 The Cultural Emergence of Jersey Shore Though the majority of the world’s population is grateful for the prominent facets of a sustainable bionetwork [water, food, and air] which maintain the indispensable requirements of life; they disregard one which adds pure substantial diversity, culture. Culture is the complete anthology of learned human behavior patterns. The idea of culture is universal across the globe and has been utilized and educated through a variety of traditions. Every concept of culture varies, which establishes the diversified nature. Along with diversity, lies the indisputable trait of versatility. A single host or individual has the ability to encompass more than one culture at a time. In the world today, culture most commonly sprouts from heritage and where one is born. It is thus carried on through the specific groups, generation after generation. Examples of prominent and active cultures are Chinese, Indian, Spanish, and Italian. Specifically focusing on the Italian culture of this era emerged a reality TV series known as Jersey Shore. Jersey Shore taints this culture through stereotypical extremities and contrived situational settings. It is evident the “culture” promoted within Jersey Shore is solely focused on irrelevant activities towards the genuine Italian culture. The cast of the show embraces a set of norms and values which are indubitably barbaric in relation to a universal lifestyle...

...Xylose is attached on each three out of four glucose units (Hilz, 2007). Those xylose residues can be further substituted by galactose, galactose-fucose or arabinose (Hilz, 2007). XG is able to bind to cellulose by strong non-covalent hydrogen bonds between the XG and cellulose microfibrils (Caffall, 2009b). XG binds in three different way, showed in Figure 3. It can form loops or dead ends with cellulose (blue), is bounded on surface of microfibrils (red) and the XG that is entrapped within or between the cellulose microfibrils (green)(Pauly, 1999). The XG bounded by loops is accessible by endoglucanase, the XG bounded on the surface of cellulose microfibrils can be solubilised by concentrated alkali, the XG entrapped with the microfibrils is insoluble(Caffall, 2009b; Pauly,...

...industry always target the biggest available fish in the ocean due to their commercial value, when the largest fish population deplete, the medium sized fish become their new interest. Overfishing is mainly triggered by the large profit and delicacy. A project officer holds the opinion that decline in some kinds of fish they were caught before they become productive. Also, mesh net is used to catch the huge amount of fish. Small sized, young age fish below the age of sexual maturity should be spare and save for later capture. Scientists use mean trophic level as a scale to assess the impact of fishing down the marine food web. Pauly et al. (1998) illustrate that mean trophic level of fishery landings indicates the impact of fishing. A decreasing transition from high trophic level species to low trophic level species showed in past 45 years (Pauly et al.,1998). Dr. Leigh Howarth, who is a Marine biologist from the University of York suggests that there are many techniques can be used to manage the overfishing and help protect sea habit and promote fish stock recovery. There are three pillars of sustainability which are environmental, social and economic. But the fact is, there is always a conflict between environmental and economic perspective. Scientist suggests protecting 20-30% marine habit around the world while political target to protect 10% world ocean in 2010. Unfortunately, in the year 2015, less than 3% of the world ocean is protected under any type, overfishing...

...The availability of fentanyl causes an increase of opioids on the street, for anyone to access. The article uses Dr. David Juurlink, the head of the clinical pharmacology discussed this within the article. Toxicology is the study of living organisms and the effects the chemicals of toxic substances have on them (CITE). I think the Jaimet properly used Juurlink as a source, as he has a background with drugs, has a strong understanding on fentanyl going from being prescribed to on the street. The author utilizes this to prove that the shift from prescription to street is a problem. Another source Jaimet uses is harm reduction researcher, Bernie Pauly states that the use of opioids is getting out of hand, and affects all of society; not just the users. Pauly uses this evidence to successfully educate nurses about opioid risk, then discusses ways to decrease the harm of opioid use this includes; creating supervised injection sites, drug prescription, and substance abuse therapy, also free access to at home drug tests. As a nurse, I agree that this is the best way to decrease the number of overdoses, and overall safer drug...
