Anomaly

"In A Rose for Emily," Emily is essentially a hermit, rarely seen outside of her house. Yet, many in the community attempt to assimilate her into modern society. For example, the "next generation, with its more modern ideas," insists she begin paying taxes and later attempt to put house numbers on her home. She rejects all these attempts by refusing to acknowledge them, and the community repeatedly backs down. Even when they effectively deal with the problems associated with Emily, such as the…

“normal” for that location and time. This “normal” average is generally based on statistics collected over a period of 30+ years. Researchers are looking for significant differences in global temperatures, called “anomalies”. These anomalies can be positive or negative, a positive anomaly being warmer than the long-term average, while negative is quite the opposite [Carbon Brief, 2015]. Incidentally, satellites are often used to measure the lower tropospheric temperatures, which are…

Introduction: Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a heterogeneous myocardial disease first described nine decades ago in 1926, by Grant et al (Medicine et al. 2014).

Similar to Grant et al’s original case, the majority of early…

If my high school and college textbooks had been written this way, I would have been a more eager student of history. The Lion and the Lamb is an anomaly in the genre of historical fiction in that every character is real, many times their words are their own, and events (between 1942-1966) are recounted chronologically. Essentially, Charles Causey's narrative infuses the human x-factor of emotion and moral dilemma into what could otherwise be a dry recollection of facts. Having read The Hiding…

Detecting and Preventing Payroll Fraud Payroll fraud is something that is very dangerous for companies and it is important that business leaders are working to detect and prevent it from occurring. The most common form of payroll fraud is when an employee gains access to funds that they are not entitled to. For salary employees, this could mean adding an additional, fake employee to the payroll and collecting their wages. Hourly employees may commit payroll fraud by altering the hours that they…

Comparing Biological and Sociological Theories in Regards to Criminology There are two popular schools of thought in regards to the deviation of humans from social norms, biological and sociological.
