Benedict

“A miracle! Here’s our own hands against our hearts” (5.4.91). This proclamation, made by the sworn interminable bachelor Benedick of the play Much Ado About Nothing, expresses the love he vowed he’d never fall into, and demonstrates the extreme effect that a lie can spark. His story with Beatrice, another character, shows that good things can result out of deceitful situations, while Hero’s, another character’s, shows that that is not always the case. Throughout the play, William Shakespeare…

Massachusetts and Connecticut in Bennington. Allen and the other officials planned their attack on Ticonderoga for May 10. Everyone voted, and Allen was dubbed in charge of the attack.

to this website, it suggests that I intake 2000 calories per day. My dairy food plan recommends that I have 6 ounces of grains, 2.5 cups of vegetables, 2 cups of fruits, 3 cups of dairy, and 5.5 ounces of protein foods.

One thing that mathematics and movies have in common is that they are incredibly interesting. However, when you put two great things together, there are potential discrepancies that make the experience a little disappointing if you look deeper into it. There have been some brilliant films about famous mathematicians who have changed the way we look at mathematics for the better. Unfortunately, movies, in general, tend to have a reputation for moving things around and fixing the information so…

…….The knight lite of the past…… It was the duty of a Middle Ages Knight to learn how to fight and so serve their liege Lord according to the Code of Chivalry. Under their armor, the knights wore padding to ease the pain of wearing such heavy metal. In the early years, knights wore chainmail. These were metal chains linked together. It took about five years to make body armor out of mail. The covering for their chests and arms weighed between 20 and 30 pounds and sometimes had up to 200,000…

Nancy Scheper-Hughes paints a vivid picture of the village folk living in “Ballybran”, once vital, now desolate and isolated by lack of economic opportunity and diminishing population growth. As a psychological anthropologist, she seeks deeper answers, attempting to identify psychological and cultural root causes of anomie and despair in the people living in rural Ireland. She explains multiple reasons for both their anomie and extremely high rates of mental illness which lie in shrinking…

the concentration of water inside and outside the cell is equal. This is why the water molecules in Cell B had mostly moved out of the dialysis tubing to keep the concentration of water equal both outside and inside the cell. We also conducted the Benedict test for Cell A and Cell B. We saw that Cell A had no glucose, but Cell B had glucose. From this, we could see that both water and glucose moved through the selectively permeable membrane of the dialysis Cell B. The glucose moved inside the…

Originally written (likely in Latin) by “the lord bishop’s notary” Guillame Pierre Barthe (the lord bishop referred to being Jacques Fournier, Bishop of Pamiers and later Pope Benedict XII) and copied or translated by the scribe Rainaud, this document is an episcopal register detailing the process of an inquisitorial investigation against Guillame Austatz. The expected readership of the document would have been quite limited, primarily to lawyers, future inquisitors (to be used as a guide or…

2/1 - In Dr. Kurt Salzinger's article, "Take back psychology," Kurt illustrates the many kinds of hardships that psychology is facing due to it's current state of affairs. That is to say, that psychology has been "given away" to be dissected and rehashed into various forms that help some causes and hurt others. The article was a nice read, and I enjoyed taking the time to look into Kurt's perspective. How he blended examples of applied and basic psychology to further his point made the article…
