...Biting Midges : The Ceratopogonidae (biting midges) include serious blood-sucking pests, feeding both on humans and other mammals. Some of them spread the livestock diseases blue tongue and African horse sickness,other species though, are at least partly nectar feeders and some actually suck insect bodily fluids (Alan Weaving; Mike Picker; Griffiths, Charles Llewellyn,2003). Biting midges are flies belonging to the family Ceratopogonidae. There are around 6000 species in 125 genera world wide and more than 1000 known species in China. Four genera, Austroconops, Lasiohelea, Leptoconops and most importantly Culicoides, feed on blood of vertebrates including human. In Hong Kong, at least 57 species from 10 genera of biting midges have been recorded....

...began speaking up for what I believe in. I almost believed my father when he said I was just like my mother, another angry Black woman looking for drama. I stop. I am angry, I am just like my mother, I am oppressed, I am misunderstood, I am a woman, I am Black, I am an American, I am Ariel; nice to meet you. The intersectionality of my identities has shaped my experience and will continue to shape my experience in this world. Women of Color in America experience oppression on the basis of our race and our gender; the oppressions are not separate but equal, they do not merely coexist, for they are one entity in our eyes. To be a Black woman...

...Equality Jade Millet Rodarte August 8, 2013 ETH/125 Joyce Hosier Equalities Women and gay/lesbians have come a long way in the world today. History was totally against them and did not give them many choices in life. That is why so many people kept things a secret. Woman did not have many rights and privileges back in early history. Women were thought of as weak and could not perform the work requiring labor. The women were to stay at home and do domestic chores and take care of the family. The men ruled the house and they had to obey what was being told to them. In early history women did not finish their education, so it was important for them to marry a man that could provide for them and their children. Many of the women had to quit school so they could help their mothers take care of the home and her siblings because most of the time the mother had to go and help the father on the farm. It was not until 1963 when the Equal Pay Act was passed, which required women be paid the same amount of wages that men received for doing the same type of work. Before that many women did not work outside of the home. It was thought that you were going against your husband and that was frowned upon by many. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not allow discrimination against women if there were more than a certain amount of employees. This act made sure that women could work in certain places such as factories. In the beginning most of the women who did have jobs worked...

...put forth by Mildred Montag and the associate degree in nursing (ADN) began in 1952 in response to the nursing shortage. The baccalaureate in nursing program (BSN) was created at the University of Minnesota as a notion to get nursing into advanced education as a recognized system. Associate degree nurses are required to take prerequisites along with core nursing classes. This route is generally between two to three years in length and taught at technical and community schools. These nurses are taught primarily technical skills with the addition of more clinical experience. The degree can limit an ADN nurse to working in long term care facilities, doctor’s offices, hospital and clinics providing direct patient care (Moore, 2009). There are roughly 72 credits needed for the completion of the ADN program. The ADN program offers minimal advancement in the workforce such as leadership and educator positions. A baccalaureate nursing degree encompasses all of the course work taught in associate and diploma schools. There are on average 125 credits needed to complete the BSN program and takes four years. This degree is offered at universities and senior colleges. The focus of the BSN program is a more in depth...

...America. Dona Margarita has the strongest impact on her children’s lives. Juan Villasenor is born from a proud family, led by an even prouder mother. Dona Margarita’s main strength to keep on going is the fact that she is a descendant of the great Don Pio. This great sense of pride is passed to her kids, as shown by Juan’s recklessness when he was competing with the other boys. “Juan was full of the devil; he just knew this was one event he was sure to win. After all, he was a Villasenor with Castro blood…”(117). Even though Juan misses the train his sheer determination to go and run after it is truly amazing. Juan’s mother left such an impression on him that when he sees the jaguar, he can hear his mother’s words “Attack, mi hijito! Dont run! Attack! Or he’ll kill you” (125)! Throughout the book, Dona Margarita seems to have this sixth sense about her kids, in which she can tell if her kids are in danger or not. “Your mother,” said the boy, “she said you’d catch us. She told my father last night that you’d…”(126). And sure enough she was right. Dona Margarita is also proficient in herbs and medicine, which makes her a great healer to her children. “For three days, Dona Margarita massaged her son with herbs and had him suck bitterroots…And, miracle of miracles, Juan’s feet, which were...

...playing flamboyant because it “helps business”. This could be seen as progressive for making fun of the most commonly used gay stereotype (the flamboyant gay man) and making the gay character actually have masculine characteristics. However, the reason it doesn’t work is because they do not address the issue of this stereotype, it is just there to serve as comic relief. Furthermore, it perpetuates the “Queer Eye for The Straight Guise” stereotype that there are certain skills and attributes that are attributed to gay men. This image was particularly sold in the TV show “Queer Eye for Straight Guise” where the “Fab Five” were 5 gay men who’s’ purpose was to serve and guide straight men on how to impress woman, which is interesting because gay men are interested in men, not women. However, because they are expected to have feminine traits they are also expected to understand what women want. It is a way to be inclusive of gay characters—because the gay and straight men are getting along—without subverting from stereotypes (Kearney). “Get Hard” shows a different example of using homosexuality as a punchline, where Will Farrell plays the character of a wealthy manager, James, who gets sentenced to prison and asks Kevin hearts character, Darnell, to teach him survival skills. The main joke of the movie plays off as James, a scrawny not very masculine man’s only way to survive in prison is by performing oral sex on the male inmates. This is problematic because it not only portrays sexual...

...References 10 1.0 Introduction According to Hunecke (1997), jet engines, also known as gas turbine engines, are the most widespread and most efficient method used for airplane propulsion currently. The Jet engine uses basic principles and concepts of motion but applying it using a combination of complex mechanical systems to achieve thrust. There are many types of jet engines; however, this paper will concentrate on the Turbojet Engine to explain the workings of the jet engine to achieve thrust and propulsion. 1.1 How the turbojet Engine Works Turbojet Engines apply Newton’s Third Law of Motion that states, “For every motion there is an equal and opposite reaction” (Hünecke, 1997, p. 4). Simply, when a burnt mixture is ejected backwards from an engine, a forward force is generated on the engine and thus on the aircraft. The bigger the backward force the bigger the forward force (reaction force). Thrust is created when the burnt mixture pushed out the back is ejected at higher velocity than that of the air being sucked in. (Hünecke, 1997, p. 4) The engine’s fans suck air in at the front. A compressor, made up of fans with many blades and attached to the shaft, elevates the pressure of the air. The compressed air is then sprayed with fuel and an electric spark ignites the mixture. The burning gases expand and blast out through the nozzle, at the back of the engine. As the jets of gas shoot backward, the engine and the aircraft are thrust forward. 2.0 Basic...

...of its office space went unrented. It was nicknamed the “Empty State Building” by New Yorkers and didn’t become profitable until 1950. The Empire state building was built in 1931, 12 days ahead of schedule. It was the tallest building in New York dwarfing the newly completed Chrysler Building. Due to the Great Depression, the building had difficulty finding tenants.The tallest skyscraper of the '30s was located far away from public transportations such as Grand central station, this was another factor that contributed to the high vacancy rate of the building. In the first year of its operation, the Empire State building observatory made as much money (2 Million USD) as the owners made in rent. The difficulty in finding tenants for the building lead the New Yorker's to sarcastically call it as "Empty State Building". The building became profitable nineteen years after its construction, in 1950. (Source) 2. Parts of New York City have a vacuum-driven garbage-collection system that literally sucks trash through pipes under the streets to a central disposal location–and has had it for 35 years. The Avac designed in the late 1960's is New York's only pneumatic garbage collection system. The system runs under all the high rise buildings in the Roosevelt Islands. The Avac was used to facilitate garbage collection from the housing developments in the Roosevelt Islands. When people throw their garbage through garbage chutes, the trash accumulates for a while. A trap door opens sucking...

...Can we be born evil or is it something developed by the environment around us? Researchers have conducted experiments on this very question, and more often than not, have found surprising results each time. Each of those times though, a common consensus being that we all have the capacity to commit the unimaginable, but it takes a certain environment and people to bring it out in us. While some interpret that those who are evil are born that way, evil is something that is developed over time by their individual environment and the people within it. It’s entirely possible to be born with traits that give us the potential to be evil. In William Harms article “Psychopaths are not Neurally Equipped to have Concern for Others” he reports a study done by University of Chicago that took 80 prisoners between ages 18 and 50 and tested for levels of psychopathy using standard measures. The results showed: The participants in the high psychopathy group exhibited significantly less activation in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, lateral orbitofrontal cortex, amygdala and periaqueductal gray parts of the brain, but more activity in the striatum and the insula when compared to control participants. This latter region is important for monitoring ongoing behavior, estimating consequences and incorporating emotional learning into moral decision-making, and plays a fundamental role in empathic concern and valuing the well-being of others(Harms, 2013). The study showed that the parts of...
