Salvi killed two receptionists at a Planned Parenthood in…

I had to understand why Seurat used such a difficult technique for his work. I then came upon the theory that perhaps he wanted to produce a deeper sense of life in his paintings. All things in the world are composed of millions of cells, and these cells create objects, color, and everything that practically exists. I imagine that Seurat's motive was to utilize this scientific law in his work to give an atmosphere of life, texture, and movement in the scenes that he…

1998 version of Psycho directed by Gus Van Sant and the 2005 War of the Worlds are two examples of bad remakes. Some however are equally or more successful. King Kong is one of the most recognisable remakes of all time. Written and produced by Merian C. Cooper in 1933, King Kong was a story that was worth making two movies about. In 2005 Peter Jackson brought the thriller back to life through state of the art technology. The technology used in the 1933 version compared to the 2005 version, as…

Throughout our life we meet so many different people; some are happy while some are not, but it is not up to us to decide whether they are happy or not, and what makes one person happy would make another person happy, or whether it is the right path to happiness. In the article mentioned above, Lewis…

CRP was identified from patients with acute pneumococcal pneumonia at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (Tillett and Francis, 1930), a name that reflects its reaction with the C-polysaccharide of Pneumococcus. This pentameric protein with MW 118 kDa has five non-covalently bonded and non-glycosylated identical subunits of 206 amino acids each to form a disk-shaped pentagon (Fig. 1). CRP has been proven as an early indicator of infectious or inflammatory conditions as well as a…
