...cannot taste PTC. Why this trait has been maintained in the population is uncertain but this polymorphism may influence food selection, nutritional status or thyroid metabolism. The gene product that gives rise to this phenotype is unknown, and its characterization would provide insight into the mechanism of bitter taste perception. Although this trait is often considered a simple Mendelian trait, i.e. one gene two alleles, a recent linkage study found a major locus on chromosome 5p15 and evidence for an additional locus on chromosome 7. The development of methods to identify these genes will provide a good stepping-stone between single-gene disorders and polygenic trait. [5. Guo SW, Reed DR.Department of Pediatrics, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, USA.] Introduction:The genetic taste phenomenon of PTC was discovered in 1931 when a DuPont chemist named Arthur Fox accidentally released a cloud of a fine crystalline PTC. Standing by his side colleague complained about the bitter taste, while Dr. Fox, who was closer and should have uptaken a strong dose, tasted nothing. Fox then continued to test the taste buds of assorted family and friends, setting the groundwork for future genetic invetigations. The genetic correlation was so evident that it was used in paternity tests before the advent of DNA matching. So what is PTC exactly: Phenylthiocarbamide, also known as PTC, or phenylthiourea, is an organic compound that either tastes very bitter, or is virtually tasteless, depending...

...It weeds out the weaker ones from the strongest and allows the sole winner to emerge victorious. This is the basics of Darwinism. The strongest will survive and the weak will perish and in order to increase the chances of being the sole winner, there should be less competitors, as favorable ecology explains. The religion must be established in a area that does not have a large population of those who practice another religion. Paxamor fails this when compared to Culpism. Culpism was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where less than half of the population is affiliated with a religion. Because the religions are so spread out, there is a higher chance of Culpism spreading out to the masses without much hindrance from other competing religions. Also, there is no set religion in Milwaukee, meaning there is a lack of a deeply ingrained religion, allowing Culpism to possibly plant the seeds of the religion and grow. In Paxamor’s case, the opposite would happen. It was founded in Boston, a largely Catholic city. Because of the large number of people who are already affiliated with a religion, Paxamor would have difficulty spreading out and recruiting members. However, there is a possibility of those who follow Buddhism to convert to this religion because of its similarities in ideologies and messages. Paxamor does not necessarily fail this proposition as much because of other factors...

We all will get there one day so it’s best to start planning now and consider the following: crime rates, location (is the city a safe place to live?), education, climate, economy (is the area affordable?), transportation accessibility, recreational activities, and population. Although there are many other variables one can examine, these are the factors that are most important to me. I selected the three cities that I would like to retire based...

Identifying these factors would give parents, educators, and industry an idea as to where students place most of their trust in the career selection process. It would also allow students to examine processes they use for career selection. The literature review has provided recommended models in career choices. The review of the literature showed that three areas of a studentfs life affect the career choices they make: environment, opportunity, and personality. All three played varying roles in career outcomes. This study attempted to identify to what extent these factors played a role in career choice...

...Solution Based Brief Therapy 1.0 Introduction As the name suggests, it is about being brief and focusing on solutions, rather than on problems. We learned a long time ago that when there is a problem, many professionals spend a great deal of time thinking, talking, and analyzing the problems, while the suffering goes on. It occurred to a team of mental health professionals at the Brief Family Therapy Center that so much time and energy, as well as many resources, are spent on talking about problems, rather than thinking about what might help us to get to solutions that would bring on realistic, reasonable relief as quickly as possible.We discovered that problems do not happen all the time. Even the most chronic problems have periods or times when the difficulties do not occur or are less intense. By studying these times when problems are less severe or even absent, we discovered that people do many positive things that they are not fully aware of. By bringing these small successes into their awareness and repeating the successful things they do when the problem is less severe, people improve their lives and become more confident about themselves.And, of course, there is nothing like experiencing small successes to help a person become more hopeful about themselves and their life. When they are more hopeful, they become more interested in creating a better life for themselves and their families. They become more hopeful about their future and want to achieve more. Because...

...Montessori: Evolving Toward a Public Secondary School in the 21st Century Nadia Bryden November 7, 2012 Abstract The educational community has long been familiar with the Montessori method for its international ability to remediate or engage children who are, for any number of reasons, not suited to traditional public schooling. This paper examines the basis of the need for alternative schooling, outlines the development and evolution of the Montessori method and philosophy, and validates the methodology in research, providing a side-by-side comparison for examination of relative strengths and weaknesses of the program. For 21st century school reformists seeking alternative methods of education or an individualized, child-centered curriculum, Montessori presents itself as an adaptive, hands-on, future-friendly option for the democratic community as it evolves toward offering a full preschool to secondary public program. Keywords: Montessori, constructivism, independence, Dewey, progressive, alternative education Montessori: Evolving Toward a Public Secondary School in the 21st Century Since the time of early philosophers such as Socrates, Aristotle and Plato, to whom we can trace the traditional subjects of the common core curriculum, there have been heated political and social debates surrounding the field of education. Rather than being discouraged by their recurrent nature, academic planners and developers must examine these questions anew to refresh our views...

...ANTEBELLUM TEXAS. In the drama of Texas history the period of early statehood, from 1846 to 1861, appears largely as an interlude between two great adventures-the Republic of Texas and the Civil War.qqv These fifteen years did indeed lack the excitement and romance of the experiment in nationhood and the "Lost Cause" of the Confederacy. Events and developments during the period, however, were critical in shaping the Lone Star State as part of the antebellum South. By 1861 Texas was so like the other Southern states economically, socially, and politically that it joined them in secessionqv and war. Antebellum Texans cast their lot with the Old South and in the process gave their state an indelibly Southern heritage. When President Anson Jonesqv lowered the flag of the republic for the last time in February 1846, the framework for the development of Texas over the next fifteen years was already constructed. The great majority of the new state's approximately 100,000 white inhabitants were natives of the South, who, as they settled in the eastern timberlands and south central plains, had built a life as similar as possible to that experienced in their home states. Their economy, dependent on agriculture, was concentrated first on subsistence farming and herding and then on production of cotton as a cash crop. This meant the introduction of what southerners called their "Peculiar Institution"-slavery.qv In 1846 Texas had more than 30,000 black slaves and produced an even larger number...

...3.The rise of digital media has democratized fashion journalism, shifting traditional power relationships and producing different kinds of representation Discuss and critically evaluate this statement with reference to the fashion media. INTRODUCTION The digital revolution, including the mechanical, electronic and digital technology, took off in the 1980s. This revolution brought tremendous changes due to the computing and communication technologies. Analogous to the agricultural revolution and the industrial revolution, the digital revolution marked the beginning of the information age. The idea is that the current age will be characterized by the ability of the individuals to transfer information freely, and to have instant access to knowledge that previously would have been difficult or impossible to find. The main component of this revolution is the mass production of computers and mobile phones. As a matter of facts, the number of Internet users in 1990, being 2.8 million, increased by approximately 75.000% in the next eleven years, reaching 2.095 billion users in 2011. The positive aspect of this revolution is that it enhanced society’s growth and development at an impressive rate. The economic impact of the digital revolution has been enormous.Without the World Wide Web (WWW), globalization and outsourcing would not be at the level it is today. Other positive aspects are the interconnectivity, the ease of communication and the exposure to information. These aspects...
