Introduction A reaction in organic chemistry that involves a simultaneous 3 pi bond shift is Diels-Alder cycloaddition, where a conjugated diene and an alkene with an electron withdrawing group (a dienophile) will react to form two carbon-carbon single bonds at the expense of the one carbon-carbon multiple bond to most often form a 6 membered ring adduct (Ketcha, 106). A conjugated diene is a hydrocarbon the contains two carbon-carbon double bonds and a dienophile also means “diene-loving”…

The ability to communicate effectively is a vital skill in all aspects of everyday life. Specifically, relational practice refers to the ability to communicate skillfully and appropriately, while being mindful of factors such as context and interplay. This is an especially crucial in the health care setting, and therefore the development of communication skills is a critical component of nursing education.

Over the last twenty years, reading in America has drastically changed. The essays, “How to Mark a Book” by Mortimer Alder and “The Joy and Enthusiasm of Reading” by Rick Moody, both address how the use of books changes during your life. I feel that the way Americans read has changed since these essays were written. In today’s technology driven world, reading and interacting with a book does not require “cracking a spine” of a traditional book. Today more and more Americans read “books” on iPads…

Alder rises from the ground in his human form with blood on his hands and face. Jade and I look down at the wolf who attacked us. He had died because of the bite that Alder landed on his neck. The man shifted back to his human form after dying. He didn't look very old at all. I would say about low twenties. He appeared very dirty but that could also be because he was covered in his own blood. I looked over him and noticed a tattoo on his left bicep. It was a combination of two symbols…

When I was about 14 years old I saw a live concert on television in which Edward Van Halen performed some tapped bends on his electric guitar and they blew me away. He did some sliding taps and some bent taps and I immediately thought, "Wow, this man is truly a master of the electric guitar; he has absolute control over it and never makes any mistakes." Although now I consider tapped bends to be a fairly simple technique, they are still interesting musically, and the most difficult thing about…

Primates perceive their world through a multitude of ways. One way in which primates perceive their surroundings is via the colors that they can see (Surridge, Osorio, & Mundy, 2003). Color vision is an evolutionary trait that has provided survival benefits to primates through evolutionary time (Regan et al., 2005). However, among certain species of primates, there are drastic variations among members in terms of the colors that they can see, thus suggesting a polymorphic basis. A polymorphic…

dualism. The monistic theory stems from the idea that matter and matter alone exists- “that the world consists of nothing but bodies and their motions.” Therefore, there is no-non-material mind; rather the mind is strictly a synonym for the brain. Alder further explains that in monism, “There is nothing to talk or think about except the brain, its activities, its states, and its processes.” In contrast, dualist theorists, such as Plato and Descartes, hold that man is composed of two utterly…

Abruptly the nymph stopped causing me to bump into it. On our path was a smirking sprite, and with that look alone, I knew we were in trouble. He said, “I hear you’re trying to get to the magic Alder tree, you musn’t have thought you could freely pass my land and live, did you?”. The nymph turned to me, and whispered, “Normally I wouldn’t do this, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Oh swift-footed Hermes, guide of words and meaning…
