- ... 1903, Jack London wrote his best selling novel, concerning the life of a sled dog that travels throughout Alaska, the Yukon, and the Klondike.

- 12583: Antibiotic Resistance 2
- ... patients, an often deadly bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus, responded poorly to a once reliable antidote--the antibiotic vancomycin. Fortunately, in those patients, the bacteria remained susceptible to other drugs and was eradicated. But the appearance of S. aureus not readily cleared by vancomycin foreshadows trouble. Worldwide, many strains of S. aureus are already resistant to all antibiotics except vancomycin. Emergence of forms lacking sensitivity to vancomycin signifies that variants untreatable by every known antibiotic are on their way. S. aureus, a major cause of hospital-acquired infections, has thus moved one step closer to becoming an unstoppable killer. The looming threat of incurable S. aureus is just the latest twist in an international ...

- 12585: Macbeth: Macbeth's Character
- Macbeth: Macbeth's Character Macbeth is presented as a mature man of definitely established character, successful in certain fields of activity and enjoying an enviable reputation.

- Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton's Duel Aaron Burr felt that he had many good reasons to hate Alexander Hamilton. Burr situated blame on Hamilton for many of the misfortunes of his life, when in fact, he alone was to at fault. The demise of his reputation began in 1776. “Burr was severely reprimanded by Washington when he was caught in the act of casually reading the Commander-in-chief’s private correspondence.

- 12590: Fanny Emerges Victorious Simpl
- FANNY EMERGES VICTORIOUS SIMPLY BECAUSE THE OTHERS FALTER (MARY POOVEY) DO YOU AGREE WITH THIS READING OF FANNY S ROLE IN MANSFIELD PARK Mansfield Park has sometimes been considered as atypical of Jane Austen as being solemn and moralistic. Poor Fanny Price is brought up at Mansfield Park with her uncle and aunt. Where ... compliant, prefers decisions to be made for her until her value system is violated she will not budge from her ideals It is true that while reading the novel we develop an impatience with Fanny s more censorious or prim judgements.
