- ... political leader. "We can see that it was Alexander's leadership and training which made the Macedonians incomparable in war and in administration and enabled them as rulers of the so-called Hellenistic kingdoms to control the greater part of the civilised world for a century or more". He believed in Homonoia and wanted all peoples to be united as one. He was able to gain the respect of the people ... among nations, but that is impossible. There is constantly dispute among the different countries. Alexander was not only able to maintain peace among the various peoples, but he was able to keep them under his control, integrating them into a single nation.

Pancreatic lipase is ... This only occurs with the use of transporters. In the case of diabetes mellitus, sugar and amino acids remain in urine because the proximal convoluted tubule's transporters are completely saturated. The PCT has no control of how much is absorbed. Its only concern is to absorb two thirds of the NaCl and the H2O. The distal convoluted tubule fine-tunes Na reabsorption. The DCT is sensitive to aldosterone. Aldosterone synthesizes ...

- ... predestined, or pre-ordained, or planned, our lives.
