One of the most fundamentally important literary devices used to develop a short story is the element of pathos, or the empathy that the reader feels for the characters of the story. Without pathos, the reader is not engaged with the characters of the story, and is left apathetic to the eventual outcome of the storyline. Without characters that engage the reader in some way-- whether their existence drives the storyline or not-- the reader is left without any kind of emotional connection to the story. This is especially true for short stories, as they must convey significant actions, events, ...

The piece for discussion is Vincent van Gogh’s “Mulberry Tree”, which is part of the permanent collection at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California. It is a relatively smaller-sized oil on canvas painting. The image is one of a single mulberry tree that seems to be in the fall stage, as the colors of the leaves are more golden rather than the usual green that one finds in any mulberry tree in the summer or when there are fruits on the tree. The single tree is set against a background of a lighter – colored ground and a very blue sky. It could ...

Vincent Van Gogh is one of the most fascinating figures in art and painting; the Impressionist genius lived a short, difficult life plagued by mental illness and inspirational torment. In the meantime, however, he managed to channel that sadness into works of wonder that continue to thrill art enthusiasts to this day. Two such paintings are Starry Night and Mulberry Tree, both painted in 1889, which reflect some of the more fascinating elements of Van Gogh’s painting.

In The Mulberry Tree, the painting depicts the titular tree resting in an abstractly-painted field. Rolling hills surround the tree, which rests ...

Introduction:

Phylogenetic tree also known as evolutionary tree depicts the connection between various species of animals and plants based on their physical and genetic traits. Top points of the trees symbolize descendent common species whereas nodes symbolize common ancestor of descendents. Phylogenetic trees very effectively show the evolution that took place by adaptive and sudden ancestry splits. The Phylogenetic trees can be classified mainly in four types rooted tree, un-rooted tree, bifurcating tree and special tree types.

The basal universal phylogenetic tree inferred from comparative analyses of rRNA sequences.

Though there is no way to track such things, one very widely asked philosophical question that rings throughout high school and college classrooms as well as bars and dinner time conversation is “If a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?” The question in itself is not complicated but its answer says much about the worldview of the respondent. Of course, no one argues that a person’s presence affects a falling tree—it emits the same sound waves whether or not there is someone to detect it. But it is a ...

My mother taught me that there are a million ways to love a tree, and in my youth I loved in each of them. I didn’t understand singular, monogamous love; I loved each tree I came across with abandon, tripping up into her branches if she were large enough, or sitting in his shade if he were still young, curled up with a book, often breathing in sunny summer air that is now tinted with the sepia color of memory.
She taught me to climb, my mother, and immediately regretted it. I was a terror on the ground to begin with, ...

If I were to be a tree, I would choose to be a fig tree. The fig tree is tough and hardy, and its natural habitat is the Middle East where climatic conditions are, usually, harsh (Howard and Goldena 34). My job as a customer relations officer requires a great level of endurance. Some customers may present their issues in an agitated manner, or the issue may be too complicated and if one lacks endurance, it may compromise the quality of the interaction, and the customer may remain dissatisfied.
The fig tree also grows to a maximum height of between five to eight ...

Abstract

Decision situations can be analyzed using different methods out which decision trees are useful to analyze complex situations. Frequently, decision situation is complicated because the payoffs are not only dependent on the initial decision but also dependent on the additional decisions are taken in the sequential step process. Decision trees can identify the best initial as well as the best subsequent actions. The decision criterion that a decision tree satisfies the Bayesian expected payoff criterion. The present case has multiple alternatives and multiple probabilities; decision tree is the best method for solving this. The resulting decision tree has three ...

In 1984, Edward O. Wilson, a Harvard University biologist, noted that human beings have innate and evolutionarily-based affinities to nature, and hence it is not possible to disconnect their subconscious from the natural environment. He coined the term biophilia to refer to this case, in which humans remain always attached to the natural environment. The most compelling reason why humans must affiliate themselves to natures, that is tree and water, is that they are needed for survival. Many architectural designers are being pressured to incorporate biophilia elements in their designs. Trees and the natural environment in general are needed ...

Mountain pine beetle (MPB) (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) is a bark beetle that lays eggs within the vascular system of the mature trees of lodgepole pine (Pinus
contorta). First known epidemic infestation was recorded in 1994 in the forests of British Columbia (BC). Prior to 1994, the infestation was negligible, owing to the fact that extreme low temperatures of winter killed the beetle, thereby curbing the problem. In the past two decades, however, due to global warming the winter temperatures are not low enough to kill the beetle. This has escalated the problem of deforestation and thereby has unbalanced the ...

Wonderland was a village that nobody wanted to be associated with unless he or she had a unique magic. As the name suggests, this village was full of wonders and everything, people, animals, birds, trees and stones, was extraordinary. Every person who lived in this village had to be in possession of a certain charm in order survive. Village elders introduced a law that ensured any child born without magic would be killed because chances of survival for such a child were limited. Many expectant women ran away from the village in fear of their children being murdered. I personally do not believe in ...

Leadership in Action

The judiciary is one of the most important arms in a free and democratic society and in many states, its duties are well outlined in the constitutions. By structure, almost all constitutions design it as an independent body and operate within the requirements of the principle of separation of powers (Forsyth, 2015). A strong public image and reputation are crucial in the dispensation of its duty, and the decisions made culminate into a lasting effect on individuals and society. For instance, it could define public policy. Considering its significance, an incompetent and misleading system could produce far-reaching implications in ...

Victor Turner’s “planes of classification in a ritual of life and death” is an analysis of the ritual and symbols among the Ndembu people of Northwestern Zambia. In the article, he describes Isoma- a ritual about female reproduction to expel bad spirits such as the death of infants.
The multi-vocal quality of Ndembu symbols contributes to the ritual efficacy in their cultural context. The use of symbols among the Ndembu is extensive. Turner notes that the symbols are the "basic building blocks, “the molecules” of ritual” (Turner 14). The Ndembu use symbols to elaborate on three main areas; ...

The Tree

That old tree looks on to the world around as time passes by,
It can hear the beauty of the horizon as the children engage in frolic beneath.
It can see the birds fly in joy. It can taste the dusty air as the pebbles thrown by the kids-

Hit the skin, it can smell the muddy path that meanders around the bark.

It recalls in view those past times, as it hears the knell at the cemetery yonder.
It remembers all the things gone, all the years spent.
Like Socrates of Greece, it stands and wonders!
The tree is too young to leave the world. Not old at all for sure.

It was beautiful time when the couple got married, and they smiled in joy at the altar,

Shit! ...

Abstract

Decision-making can involve a single decision or multistage decisions. When the decision-maker has to make at least two decisions separated in time, such as a situation where a company must first decide if it makes sense to hire an expert to make an actual decision about an investment. As the decision-maker goes on making decisions, the uncertainty diminishes. The probabilities are determined in a reverse manner when compared to regular decision-tree used for decision-making. The resulting process is Baye’s rule or theorem. The company wants to find out if hiring an expert so that he or she can ...

What advice would you give Dollar General about its expensive expansion plans? What do you think are Dollar General’s Greatest strengths and opportunities?

I grew up on a farm. We had cattle, cows, horses, sheep, goats and a few hens for our supply of fresh eggs. Being able to be close to animals was I think one of the best experiences I ever had in my life. My love and passion for our farm animals was the best gift I ever had as a child. There was no time to feel bored or lonely. I did not have any brothers or sisters, yet even though I was the only child I can honestly say I never felt alone.
My mom used to feed the ...

Abiotic factors which include climate are known to affect plant growth. Elevation which influences the climatic conditions can directly affect the tree height. The trees in higher elevation are thought to be shorter than trees in lower elevation because of the low temperatures which directly affects the height of trees. The experiment was done to ascertain tree height difference and to fulfil the deadline. The hypothesis for the experiment was that trees in lower elevation grow taller than trees at a higher elevation. The methodology for the experiment included measuring tree height in high and low elevations. Tree height ...

The thoughts and writings of Aristotle and Descarte about reality are similar in the sense that both philosophers use the concept of substance to define what reality is. For Descartes, the infinite Substance is God, the bodies of persons are considered extended substances and the mind of the people is the thinking substance.
Aristotle (384-322 BCE) defines reality as that which is actually in this world. He believes that we attain our knowledge of reality based on perceptual experience. He categorizes substances as being “primary substances” and “secondary substances.” An example of primary substance is man or person. ...

The “exclusionary rule” is one of the most important elements of United States criminal procedure law, but it is not found in the Constitution. Indeed, the exclusionary rule is a court created procedure that allows a judge to declare inadmissible any testimony or evidence presented at trial that was result of or otherwise obtained in violation of the Bill of Rights’ Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth Amendments. In other words, while the basis of the exclusionary rule is the Constitution, it is not a constitutional right. Rather the exclusionary rule was created as a means for the court to prevent ...

The poem of Emily Bronte entitled “Love and Friendship”, the poet compared love to a wild rose-briar, and friendship as a holly tree. Although the poem tells the readers that love is more beautiful physically because it was compared to a flower that is beautiful to look at, compared to friendship, represented by holly tree. It symbolizes that friendship will last longer, compared to love because just like a wild rose, the flower will wither and die, until a new flower blossoms again. However, friendship is like a holly tree which is by nature sturdy, strong and can last a lifetime. Love just like a rose, can ...

Corals are mostly found near or at the shore of lakes and other large water bodies. This means that coral gives a cross section of the soil stratification layers which can be assumed to have been each as top layer at a certain period in history (Bruckner, 8).
Closely examining the coral, the different layers usually have different compositions. These compositions are the ones that help in depicting the climatic conditions that existed at the time of the layer being top layer of the soil (Paul, 3).
If one layer of the coral can be closely examined and compared ...

Langston Hughes has been recognized as one of the most important figures of the Harlem Renaissance and his emergence in the 1920’s as a major poet and writer took the American literary world by storm. His first breakthrough came around 1924 when a review about his work appeared in the New York Herald and Tribune which described him as ‘already conspicuous in that group of Negro intellectuals who are lending dignity to Harlem with a vibrant and genuine art life’. Hughes went on to be a blistering critic of lynching and other injustices against blacks especially in the Deep South. He also ...

Abstract
The sustainability assessment of deforestation North America evaluated the most viable alternative geared towards the achievement of sustainable forest use and preservation. A decision-making criterion was developed to measure the feasibility of these alternatives of prohibiting forest use, reforestation and agro-forestry. The criteria consisted of three benchmarks: social equity, economic viability and ecological soundness. The evaluation process was seven-fold and recommended agro-forestry as the most feasible approach to achieving its objectives.

The traditional decision trees allow recursive splitting at any point on some dimensional space; however the Dyadic Decision trees (DDT) are established by recursively splitting the input space exactly at the midpoint on the dimensional space. It is possible to estimate the complex decision boundaries using DDT, and as the dyadic splits have a constraint, it is likely to improve the risk criteria in comparison to the conventional methods for decision tree learning that initially do greedy ...

The origins of stained glass are not clear, but are believed to have emerged from 10th century depictions of Jesus Christ and Biblical scenes. Stained glass is achieved by using metallic salts to color glass during manufacture. Abbot Suger, named the father of stained glass, believed that the presence of beautiful objects lifts people’s souls and brings them closer to God (Homan, 2005). He described the light that emerged from the glass as “heavenly light.” There is a belief in the spiritual symbolism of light as caused by stained glass and its power to support worship and glorify God. ...

Isaac Newton’s story of how an apple falling from a tree that hit his head inspired him to formulate a theory of gravitation is one that all school children grow up hearing about. Newton is arguably one of the most influential scientific minds having ever lived. He has published books such as Arithmetica Universalis, The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms, Methods of Fluxions, Opticks, the Queries, and most famously, Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica.

- Explanations
- Food miles and 100-mile diet
A 100-mile diet refers to a diet that consists of foods raised and grown within 100 miles of a dinner table (Tancock). Usually, food travels some 1,500 miles before reaching the dinner table in North America (Tancock). The traveling miles are called “food miles” and affect the environment, quality of food and farming practices. Food miles increase carbon emissions through the numerous planes, boats, and trucks involved in the transport of food materials. In addition, food miles promote unsafe agricultural practices because the consumers are unlikely to visit the farms ...
