- 221: Autism
- ... a number of its characteristic behaviors. In the last five years, research has shown that many people who show autistic behaviors have related but distinctive disorders. These other types of disorders include: "Asperger Syndrome", "Fragile-X Syndrome", "Landau-Kleffner Syndrome", "Rett Syndrome" and "Williams Syndrome". Asperger Syndrome; is characterized by concrete and literal thinking, obsession with certain topics, excellent memories, and being 'eccentric.' These individuals are considered high-functioning and are capable of holding a job and of living independently. (4) Fragile X Syndrome; is a form of mental retardation in which the long arm on the X chromosome is constricted. Approximately 15% of people with Fragile X Syndrome exhibit autistic behaviors. These behaviors include: delay in speech/language, hyperactivity, poor eye contact, and hand-flapping. The majority of these individuals function ...
- 222: Shusterman And The Aesthetic E
- ... comparison with another similar object. Person A attends the Museum of Contemporary Art and is confronted with a veritable deluge of paintings, sculptures or any such object and is passing through jovially when art-piece X strikes his attention. He is drawn to the work and enjoys the form and line and color's ability to produce in him a delicious warming of the soul. This feeling is automatic, and person A is an honorific viewer. Person B attends the museum on the same artsy day and is curiously attracted to the same art-piece X that A was. Person B however notes the similarity between art-piece X and art-piece Y, and it occurs to her that X gives her a much more pleasurable experience than did Y. Both persons have been subject to a highly positive experience, however look at ...
- 223: Macbeth - Shakespeare
- ... the witches know these things. Banquo however, is more cautious, and not sure. Banquo also questions if the witches were even real; he is much more sceptical. 2.) Macbeth finds out in scene 4 that Malcolm, not him is chosen by the King to be his successor, this makes Macbeth decide that chance will not make him King, and to be King, he must do something about it. 3.) Lady Macbeth ... of scene two, Macbeth does show remorse that he has killed the King. When he hears the knocking at the south entry, he says; Wake Duncan with thy knocking. I would thou couldst.(p59) 3.) Malcolm and Donalbain leave Scotland because they suspect whoever killed their father, will be targeting them next. 4.) The strange occurrences that have taken place on the night of the murder are; it is dark when ... impress the forest, bid the tree Unfix his earth-bound root? Sweet bodements, good! 2.) Macbeth kills Macduffs family, as he wants revenge because Macduff has fled to England and gone against him. 3.) Malcolm says he has lied to Macduff about himself to test his loyalty. Malcolm says he has no kingly qualities and would be a terrible King. Macduff replies by saying that as long as Macbeth ...
- 224: Macbeth: Summary
- ... further, they remark on how peaceful it looks. After the Banquet when everyone goes off to bed, Macbeth murders Duncan. When finding out of the death, Duncan's two sons fled fearing for their lives, Malcolm headed towards England and Donabain to Ireland. Macbeth sends two murderers to kill Banquo, for he fears that the witches prophecies about Banquo will come true too. Macbeth is scared and confused at the second ... plans to kill all of Macduff's family. Macduffs family are murdered, Macduff hears of the terrible news and plans revenge against Macbeth. The Scottish contingent are marching to meet the English forces led by Malcolm and Macduff, to make their attack on Macbeth. Macbeth learns that there are ten thousand soldiers after him and that his wife had died ( or killed herself ). The English army arrives at Birnam Wood and Malcolm instructs each solider to cut down a branch and carry it in front of them to disguise their approach. A servant tells Macbeth that he had seen the wood move, he goes and looks ...
- 225: Macbeth Imagery
- ... a good example of darkness imagery because when you think of the crashing thunder, lightning and rain, they all remind you of evil and ominous things. Later on the Sergeant is talking with Duncan and Malcolm when he states "Ship wrecking storms and direful thunders break" (1. 2. l26). Again this darkness imagery contributes to the ominous atmosphere of the play, having reference to thunder and dark storms. Finally, Lady Macbeth ... very useful for a further dramatic purpose, to characterize, and specifically to characterize Macbeth. Through the use of darkness imagery Shakespeare was able to characterize Macbeth as perceived in this next quote where Macduff and Malcolm are talking and Macduff pronounces "Not in legions of horrid hell can come a devil more damn'd in evils, to top Macbeth" (4. 3. l55-56). It is understood that Macduff views Macbeth as ... devil himself could not pronounce a title more hateful to mine ear" (5. 7. l8-9). This shows that, as well, Young Siward views Macbeth as a bad man and would also characterize Macbeth. Lastly, Malcolm is speaking with Macduff and saying how he will reveal his real evil self and states "When they shall be open'd, black Macbeth will seem as pure as snow" (4. 3. l52-53). ...
- 226: Chuck Yeager
- ... pilot being that he was such a good combat pilot. He skipped right over the pilot school and got handed the greatest project one could ask for. He got picked to fly the jet propelled X-1 to break the sound barrier. After 3 months it was done, and Chucks name was in the record book. However, the interesting thing about it was that just days earlier he had broken ... and take the course, in which he almost failed to written course because he felt the instructors were out to get him. After that, he tested more planes, like a captured Russian plane, and the X-1A which from 2.5 Mach. With the X-1A he almost "bought the farm"(and expression used instead of crashing). At 80,000 feet and going 1650 mph, the X-1A took a nosedive, in a downward spiral. Chuck was thrown all ...
- 227: Movie Review of My Dinner With Andre
- ... entirely enthralled in the ideas of science, however, it is an incorrect one. There are four Levels of Being, the first, m, is the mineral level. All matter has this level. The next level is x, the level of life. One could denote plants as m+x. The third level is the level of consciousness, y. Animals are considered m+x+y. And the final level is self-awareness, z. Humans are m+x+y+z. Surely, placing inanimate objects such as a refrigerator, m, on the same level
- 228: Popes
- ... of the cardinals as well as mend other wicked ways; however, provisions caused Alexander to return to normal and he never issued the Bull. Perhaps if the Church had reformed during Alexander's reign, Leo X would never have taken office. Leo is most noted for writing to his brother "God has given us the papacy-let us enjoy it". Leo took this credo to heart and was considered the most ... had any sort of ecclesiastical training. Perhaps the greatest example of buying ones way up the ladder is Giovanni de Medici, made abbot at age eight and later to become the fifth Renaissance pope, Leo X. Absenteeism occurred as cardinals collected many different bishoprics, abbeys and other benefices as a way to augment their incomes. In the words of Lorenzo de Medici the College of Cardinals was a "sink of all ... his power in order to ensure the best marriages for his children and a triumphant career as a leader for Cesare. The last Renaissance pope to use his office to advance family fortune was Leo X. Having no children of his own, Leo focused his efforts on his first cousin Giulio, bastard son of Giuliano de Medici. First he legitimized Giulio's birth through an affadavit. The boy went on ...

In 1513 Leonardo went with Pope Leo's X's brother, Giuliano de' Medici, to Rome. While in Italy Da Vinci became engrossed in theoretical research. Da Vinci stayed in Rome for three years and then left never to return. Once Leonardo left he ... Leonardo returned to work in Milan for the French government.

- 230: James Watson's The Double Helix: A Review
- ... Herman suggested that Watson go on a spring trip to the Zoological station at Naples. It was in Naples that Watson first met Wilkins. It was also in Naples that Watson first became excited about X-ray work on DNA. The spark that ignited Wilkins' fire was a small scientific meeting on the structures of the large molecules found in living cells. Watson had always been interested in DNA ever since ... helical shape. Watson thought this was an incredible discovery! He was excited to research and learn about the DNA structure. Watson was worried about where he could learn more about DNA and how to solve X- ray diffraction pictures so the structure of DNA could be understood. He knew he could not do this at Cal Tech with Pauling because Pauling was too great a man to waste time with Watson ... a beautiful three chain helix representing DNA. The next obvious step would be to check the parameters with Rosy's quantitative measurements. To their knowledge the model would certainly fit the general locations of the X-ray reflections. Upon completion, Watson and Crick were ecstatic about their accomplishment. To be the first to discover the structure of such an important molecule like DNA was going to make a major impact ...
