high stress, large grains size, or both; the strain rate increases nonlinearly with stress and is insensitive to grain size” [Savage.M.K (1999)]. Other forms of deformation may yield different anisotropic properties. Uniaxial compression tends to orient the slip plane normal to the compression…

The Slave Community by John W Blassingame is a significant revisionist work that places the slave as an individual at the centre of its analysis and argument. In this book, Blassingame challenges the Elkin's thesis, arguing that slaves were able to retain significant sections of their African cultures through examination across several early chapters of cultural features such as music, religion, and folklore, and analysing slave familial structures and relationships. Blassingame rejects…

Theories are explanations of how things works and are supported by research including multiple tests of hypotheses and other theories. People’s experiences, ideologies and systematic reasoning develop the basis of theories (Robbins, Pranab & Edward 376, Hutchinson 26). In social work, theories both help us evaluate and comprehend human behavior, society, individual and social problems, and the relationships between them (Robbins et al. 375, Hutchinson 26). Developing theories help people…

While I am not suggesting that these become memorized, I often found it helpful to refer back to the standards in order to orient myself to the final goals of the classroom. In addition, as literacy coach I was able to share with others the rubrics used to grade the PARCC ELA test and identify the shortcomings and areas of excellence for each grade level. Through…

He claims that our society is doomed unless we make drastic changes, and flip what we know upside down. Daniel Quinn goes on to say how we need new minds to come up with a solution, rather than old minds coming up with programs and how we need to orient our movement toward how tribes used to be, a simpler, more efficient time. Now, whether or not I agree with Quinn’s statements, is another thing. My first impressions of this “manual for change” and the programs vs. old minds chapters were very…

Senator Beveridge Supporting Imperialism Speech Sovereignty is not given, it is taken. Sovereignty is a power to lead one state. The Philippines was once headed by America during the Spanish American War. Back in 1900, Senator Beveridge gave a speech defending America’s right to subjugate savage peoples and foreign governments. Senator Beveridge was a senator from Indiana from March 4, 1899 through March 3, 1911. He explained that America administered the Philippines, which was stated in the…

Each of the dictionary definitions and those found in literature searches show similarities such as the identification of a sympathetic response to another person or groups of persons requiring care. (Dictionary.com 2015, Sweet et al. 2015, Boscarino et al. 2004, Schutz 2009, Huggard 2003) Dissimilarities were also identified by reflecting differences that either illustrated a slight bias in support of the research being conducted or by mitigating the description by omitting characteristics of…

Emotional Beings Humans are very complicated beings, but is it possible for a human to connect to a dinosaurs? Or for a dinosaur to have human emotions? A story telling the tale of 2 lighthouse workers and an estranged dinosaur proves that it is indeed very possible. Ray Bradbury’s short story “The Foghorn” uses the topics of loneliness, a symbolic dinosaur, love & loss, and the central conflict of person vs. society to show the complexity of any being with human thoughts and their capacity for…

After breakfast, we walked for about five minutes, and saw the entrance of the building. There is a sculpture on the top of the entrance of the building. Many people came from different direction keep entered. Most of the people are old people, and there are also some students, families with children here. When we came in, a father in…

“You cannot fly like an eagle with the wings of a wren.” Henry Hudson was born in the later part of the 16th century; he had grown up to be an American Explorer.
