Medium of exchange

It is really easy to blame your financial difficulties on money. Yet what some people forget, is that this medium of exchange allowed us to create what we have today. Without something to use as currency there would be no society. A society consists of a group of people working together to create an orderly community. The creation of which would not be possible if the basic things that humans need are not satisfied. Money helps create stability by setting a certain value on all the commodities we might need in our lives. Since we are no longer worrying about obtaining these necessities, which are readily available to us, we can begin to focus on the more important things in life. While money creates tension through its significance in culture,…

Speech #1 Edward R. Murrow, a CBS reporter and war correspondent delivered a report from Buchenwald, Germany on April 16, 1945. He delivered this dialect upon seeing the atrocities committed by the Germans towards the Jews. He addresses the American people, describing the scene he had witnessed at this labor camp, which he found the scene to be so unbelievable that he is rendered speechless many times through out his speech. Murrow’s outrage is so apparent through-out his account, that it is…

Videogame’s bad reputation: Disdain for the medium I have seen too many news reports that propose that videogames are a vile, mortifying plague. Videogames are a rather new medium of art and entertainment, and like their predecessors, videogames are the new scapegoat. Certain lobbyists, like the famous Jack Thompson, have argued that videogames are corrupting the youth of America. This, I will argue, is a skewed perception on the medium as a whole, and it is the issue of this paper. I implore…

full of pieces that didn’t make it into the final composition. Kathy sells her art at juried art festivals and a local boutique, as well as online on her website. She may be new to the medium, but her first festival garnered her a “Judge’s Choice” award. Kathy resides in urban Cleveland, Ohio, where she revels in the fact that she is close to art museums and botanical gardens. She is currently taking metal working classes and will soon start a photography class. She can be found at:…

In order to determine the identity of two unknown bacteria, I performed a series of experiments over several days. To begin this process I created a dichotomous key that I utilized as a guide to perform a series of inoculations, while using both selective, and differential media. The series of inoculations eliminated bacterium based on test results until the correct bacteria were both positively identified. On day one of this process I received two bacteria, one labeled 7A and the other…

The objective of this activity was to use the knowledge that we obtained throughout the semester, with the goal to correctly identify two unknown bacteria. Organism number thirteen is Escherichia coli. On the first day, I conducted a gram stain and noticed that the bacteria were pink, meaning that the bacteria are gram negative. I also recognized that the bacteria were rod shaped therefore they were bacillus. I also noticed that the arrangement appeared to be single celled. I also put the…

angustifolia extract, honey and AuNPs against the eight chosen S. aureus isolates (four MRSA+VRSA and four MRSA+VSSA) were analyzed through determination of their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) values, minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) values, and MBC/MIC ratio by broth micro-dilution method using 96-well micro-titer plates. To each 50 μL of the antibacterial agent dilution, 50 μL of adjusted bacterial concentration inoculum (5 × 105 CFU/mL) were added in the 96-well micro-titer…

2 Literature Review 2.1 Porous Materials For the purposes of this report, porous materials is defined as a medium containing voids[2]. The skeletal material is called the matrix and the voids are filled with a fluid (usually air). The physical properties of the materials can be characterised by bulk, macroscopic and microscopic properties. Most of which have an impact on the acoustical performance of the material. Sound energy is lost in porous materials when it is transformed into heat. This is…

will have a purple butt, and if negative it will have a yellow butt. The Sulfide Indole Motility (SIM) blue cap tube is a semisolid agar and it is also used to determine sulfide production, indole formation and motility in Gram negative bacteria. We will be adding a couple of drops of Kovacs reagent following the incubation of the unknown organism. The indole combines with the reagent and if positive it produces a red layer on top of the medium. If the medium has a hazy growth throughout, then…

Streptomyces and Antibiosis From our group, Group 2, nutrient agar plates inoculated with E. Coli, (Images 1.1,1.2), (Images 2.1,2.2), (Images 3.1,3.2) no antibiotic activity was detected. This could be a result of the putative colonies chosen, not being Streptomyces. All selected colonies were white, or pigmented rink, raised and rough. One (1) and three (3) were inoculated with the putative Streptomyces colonies. Plate 2 was inoculated with the control Streptomyces colony. Although it was…
