Still images are not the only form of visual texts that rhetorical scholars have identified as perpetuating racism. Television productions have similar effects. In his piece, “May the Circle Stay Unbroken: Friends, the Presence of Absence, and the Rhetorical Reinforcement of Whiteness”, Phil Chidester examines how the popular sitcom Friends can function, just as the discursive practices mentioned earlier, to reinforce racial identity without explicit acknowledgement of race. Chidester contends…

Beowulf refuses using weapons because he knows that Grendel is protected by spells and also to show his strength, while Batman has personal reasons. Chris Sims himself writes, “Batman’s entire idea of Crime, his entire perception of what it means to break the rules set down by society, descends from exactly one moment: his parents’ murder.” (Sims). And I agree with this theory, because this is what makes the character an individual, with his personal reasons to be, who he is. This also shows,…

Justice Shaw ruled the opposite in 1851 and ordered Thomas Sims be returned to Georgia after he had escaped. Justice Shaw cited two different laws in his opposite decisions. In the case of Commonwealth v. Aves (1836), Justice Shaw cited the lack of the law of comity as justification for keeping Med,…

To begin, a streak was performed on two TSA plates and a blood agar plate using the three-sector streak technique from the unknown culture tube to isolate the two unknown bacterial colonies. The plates were then incubated for 12 hours at 37 ̊C. The blood agar plate was used to create a greater contrast in color to help distinguish between bacterial colonies by size and color. Two distinct colonies could be seen growing on the blood agar plate shown in figure 1. The smaller, opaque colored…

most part. It looks like he has been working hard in each of his classes. I have spoken with some his teachers throughout the semester. His Algebra teacher (Mrs. Sims) and I developed a plan to help Nick with taking notes in class. She has a student in prior class take detailed notes for Nick (see an example in attachments).

friendly choice due to the following reasons: 1. When CSG is a novel industry and its its impacts on environment and people health is not properly assessed (Randall 2014), the nuclear technology is a matured, standardised, and well regulated industry (Sims et al. 2003; Chu & Majumdar 2012). 2. CGS needs a really large spatial distribution (Department of Industry Innovation and Science, 2015) and therefore, its negative consequences will affect a large number of people all over the Australia. 3.…

We have seen what Oukitel is capable of? The Chinese manufacturer is proficient of producing terminals with some serious features for a stupendous price tag. Same is the case with their closing smartphone of the previous year, Oukitel K6000. But it lacked something: a fingerprint reader, Full-HD display, latest Android or anything that makes the terminal worth to be called a mid-tier phone of 2016. But the question remains, what can you get for a price of $180? Well in the case of Oukitel,…

Other barriers that were found included difficulties with the new technology, charges and support for the systems, electronic data exchange, financial incentives, and physician’s attitudes (Miller & Sim, 2016, p 119). Cost of the technology is something a business takes into consideration first and foremost. Implementing the electronic medical records initially has high up-front costs. Not only do you have to purchase the system, but there are also…
