The last great king of the Kingdom of Weisshafen and Madeleine’s grandfather. Beloved by all, Viktor the Third was an effective leader, unlike his successor King Baldur, who is a bit of a playboy. Seeing that his son was weak and unworthy of the crown, as well as wanting to move Weisshafen into the modern era, Viktor chose to limit the power of the nobility at the end of his lifetime. When Schwartzwald sought to invade Weisshafen, they besieged the border fortress at Grauhof. Outnumbered,…

Gender in art is a topic which has become very popular in the last few decades but at the time that the Ruthwell cross was being made was not even being mentioned. Art in the Anglo-Saxon period often included animals, nature and plants, and religious and mythological imagery. However, there is never a plethora of female representation in Anglo-Saxon sculpture. The Ruthwell cross is one of…

dihybrid crosses using drosophila. In a monohybrid cross, a single trait (eye color) is crossed in the organism and in a dihybrid cross,two different traits (eye color and wings) are crossed for a particular organism (drosophila). For this lab, we were determining if the results of our monohybrid cross follows the mendelian law of equal segregation which says that a gamete receives only one copy of gene from the parent. And that the dihybrid cross demonstrates Mendel’s law of…

Ngugi wa Thiong’o via his work “Wedding at the Cross” introduces a forthright story about colonization, loss of self, and identity. Through Wariuki and Miriamu, he reveals ways in which our “socioeconomic system is the ultimate source of our experience”. Despite Miriamu’s economic and social family status, she seeks to find a true understanding of self. Wariuki, on the other hand, who came from poverty sometimes even satirizing his white bosses, became the very thing he hated. Although, because…

the structure while the pliers were on it to see where I needed more support. Where I needed more support, I added cross-bracing. I continued to test stability by adding more weight, seeing where I needed more support, then fixing the weak areas. This helped make my foundation stronger, which made my whole building stronger and more stable. To strengthen the weaker areas I put cross-bracing on. I started out with just single braces, but found that it wasn’t strong enough to hold the straws…

or many runners, cross training often doesn't come easy. The fact is, most runners enjoy running and quickly develop a steady pattern of doing just that. Unfortunately this habit means many are missing a fantastic opportunity to gain speed, endurance, stamina, and increase their VO2 max by implementing a steady cross training routine. Specificity of training is a term that refers to centering your training schedule around strengthening the muscles needed for that particular activity. Thus, a…

person rather than having to hire a temporary person or to hire an extra associate for vacations. “You can shift people in and out of jobs as needed.”(3) Another advantage of cross training is it “breaks up the monotony of the week, giving workers more challenges and variety” which is great for the millennial generation. Cross training also “gives workers a sense of how the practice works together as a team” and helps to find which workers are best for certain positions. It can give the…

My thoughts towards Jimmy Cross in the beginning of the literature were contemplation of him being a fool. Why? For the so far reason on how in the texts Jimmy Cross is living his life on having hope for a girl ,in which this girl name Martha puts on ease his leadership skills. His acts on having to unfold the letters that Martha sends to him, imaging himself with Martha walking romantic hikes and kissing the flaps of the envelope just because Martha lips where there.

moved to a three-decker house on Vernon Hill. They sought a better life for their children by stressing the importance of education as the key to social and economic mobility. Three generations later, I am a rising sophomore at the College of the Holy Cross, located within a few miles of this neighborhood.
