Century egg

MacWright, T. 2005). In the 14th century BCE, the current King was Akhenaten who decided to break the tradition and instituted that all his people must worship only one god, Aten where after he constructed a new capital at Amarna (McIntosh 2014: 26). After he passed away his youthful successor, Tutankhamun restored the capital’s reputation and the international trade flourished where after the Egyptians’ then had ruling eastwards (McIntosh 2014: 26). By the 11th century BCE a Libyan general…

these women differed given they occurred in different centuries. The Duchess was written in the mid nineteenth century and indicates that regardless of how women were treated, they didn’t dare to speak up or do something without the consent of their husband. They remained quiet and followed the order of their husband, which eventually lead to them being killed. The true story of the woman’s marriage was written in the early twentieth-first century and shows that the woman gained enough courage…

Method: In this experiment each group received 2 chicken eggs whose shells have been dissolved off. This gave us a differentially permeable membrane so that we can observe osmosis and what happens when the membrane is presented with different solutions. Since we did not know the concentration of the egg, we had to assume that it equaled the concentration of the membrane. We then had the ability to determine the concentration based off the assumption and the rate of osmosis. We used 5…

(or gods) to reach a heavenly state while others believe in logic. While some creation myths are very similar, others are very different. For example, one Chinese creation myth tells of their creator, Pangu, being born of a cosmic egg. Pangu stood up and split the egg in half. This created Heaven and Earth. The Iroquois’ “The World on the Turtle’s Back” and N. Scott Momaday’s…

Everyone has living codes that one prefers to live by which is unique from one person to another. These are specific values which represent an individual and potentially determine what an individual can accomplish in life. While a universal set of living codes does not exist for all individuals, it is very common to see individuals living by the same standards which each support and stand by. The unique values of an individual are the ones that make up and shape the different personalities of a…

“ that the first place winner for the 2016 Awestruck Pageant goes to Miss Ostrich!” Her eyes welled with tears as she received the mystery grand prize, a hard boiled egg. “Thank you.” Miss Ostrich cried, “Thank you all so much. It has been such a great honor to be here.” With that final statement she left, holding the hard boiled egg delicately in her…

The purpose of this experiment is to learn how to prepare albumin from egg white and to understand the basics of protein fractionation using ammonium sulfate. Ovalbumin is the major protein of egg white and is fractionated by means of ammonium sulfate precipitation. The properties of the solvent system will dissolve the protein and greatly impact solubility. In total, there are four major factors that affect protein solubility: ionic strength, pH, temperature, and dielectric constant of solvents…

Osmosis and Diffusion Egg Lab In this lab, an egg is used as a representation of an actual cell, the shell being the cell wall, and the yolk being the nucleus, which like an actual cell also expands when placed in a substance like water, and shrinks when placed in a thick substance like corn syrup. I hypothesize that water will make the egg hypotonic, which means that the cell is swollen due to an excess of water in its environment and corn syrup will make the egg hypertonic, which is the…

This past semester, I worked with Big Brothers/Big Sisters of South Niagara over the Easter weekend for their annual Easter Egg Hunt. This is a charitable event that raises funds for the organization with the help of the City of Welland as well as the Welland firefighters, both volunteer and paid. Also, with the aid of many, many volunteers, the event almost always runs as planned. I have helped at this event for the past two years with friends. Both years, my friends and I have painted faces…

around Halloween my mom along with her sisters would have a haunted house for kids we would also do an Easter egg hunt on Easter at Blackwater Falls Resort. Both I would always participate in I would help set the haunted house up and decorate, I would hide to scare the kids in the haunted house, but also help with the many activities that went on. During Easter, I would make hundreds of boiled eggs along with other volunteers we would decorate and hide them. I would sometimes dress up as the…
