Atwood Narrative As the leaves bristle and the thin sheets of wind intrude through the slender opening of the window of the bus, sat a grey backpack with a variety of stickers scattered onto the fabric in diverse figures and colors, each giving the dull backpack a sense of flare. Besides the backpack displayed a boy sitting on a cold, leather seat, crossing his arms, a picture of his grandfather-who served in Camp Grant, now called Atwood- clenched tightly against his chest. “Now reaching…

tonality shifts from major to minor modes and vice versa. Swan explains that the fluctuation between major and minor modes is one of the characters of Russian traditional folksong. Taruskin further mentions that the seemingly unstable interplay of relative major and minor keys reflecting what ethnomusicologists call the ‘mutable mode’ (peremennïy lad) of genuine Russian folklore. In the oratorio, only song no. 2 shows this trait as shown in fig.…

correctly date ancient artifacts. The available methods allow them to accurately date objects that are hundreds of years old up to a few million years old. Dating methods are used to find out about how old an artifact may be, or how old it is exactly. Relative dating methods are stratigraphy and style analysis. Absolute dating methods used are absolute dating, radiocarbon dating, uranium-lead dating, and luminescence dating. Stratigraphy as a dating method, is based around the principle that…

In 2013, air pollution has been characterized by the WHO as the “most widespread environmental carcinogen” (IARC, 2013). For Torontonians, the problem regarding air quality is also a big challenge upfront. Although the overall air quality has been improved for recent years, Toronto still sees over a thousand premature deaths and over three thousand hospitalization due to respiratory diseases every year. (Toronto 's Vital Signs, 2015) Moreover, Dr. David McKeown (2007), Toronto medical officer of…

On the topic of Jacob’s ideas to discourage criminal behavior, she is an open critic of the common theory of improving cities’ vibrancies by making room for more green space before considering whether the new parks would be properly integrated . If a park is located in “a low-traffic area such as the residential edge of a neighborhood, ” misallocated green space can become “havens for transient populations or criminal activity ,” and become the type of place where teenagers go to abuse drugs or…

Introduction Every city across the globe has its own characteristics and features that make it distinct from any other city. The characteristic distinctions may be realized in terms of city demographics, city administration structures, geographical locales, infrastructure and public facility configuration, and economic systems, among other city aspects and factors. Employing data collection and high level thinking skills, research is carried out to compare and contrast two Asian megacities. In…

important cells. Bone health, commonly measured by bone density, is often overlooked, with other health issues such as obesity, cancer, and heart disease getting much of the…

The correct answer is C Osteitis Deformans (also known as Paget’s disease). Paget's is caused by the excessive breakdown and formation of bone, followed by disorganized bone remodeling. This causes affected bone to weaken, resulting in pain, misshapen bones, fractures and arthritis in the joints near the affected bones. An elevated level of alkaline phosphatase in the blood in combination with normal calcium, phosphate, and aminotransferase levels in an elderly patient are suggestive of Paget's…

factors, some of which are under our control and some that aren’t. As we age, the risk of developing osteoporosis increases because our bones naturally lose some of its density and become weaker. Women are much more likely to develop osteoporosis than are men because the hormone changes that occur in the menopause directly affect bone density. People of White or Asian backgrounds are at a greater risk of developing osteoporosis but it doesn’t mean people of other backgrounds cannot develop the…
