Introduction Wheat (Triticum sp.), an extensively adapted crop, is one of the primitive and primary staple food crops in the world. Wheat is cultivated from temperate; dry to irrigated or rain-fed areas, to warm, humid or cold conditions. Such a high adaptability is attributed to its intricate genome (Acevedo et al., 2002). Wheat cultivation covers more land area compared to other commercial crops and endures to be an essential food grain for humans (Curtis, 2002).

Visual learner Being a predominantly visual learner, I like to learn by visualizing things. Colors, picture and flashcard can be of best help for a visual learner. Most people in the population are predominantly visual learners. They learn new concepts by watching, rather than by listening or touch. Good eyesight is very important for this learning style. A picture is worth a thousand words, then hours of blah, blah, blahBut I have a problem with this method, a picture can carry different meanings for different people.

Methodological Paradigm

I will approach the study through the Critical Theorist lens. A critical theory paradigm focuses on a research through a political perspective, whereby various groups: politicians, men, rich people, capitalism in general influence and exert power over other groups. It is all about power and influence. In other words, the critical theory approaches issues through a historical lens. The objective of the paradigm is emancipation of the oppressed (Dantzker& Hunter, 2012).For that reason, I will rely on dialogue method, which is a combination of interviews and observations with approaches that prompt reflection and conversation for a qualitative research. ...

The most beautiful and fascinating artistic aspect of the Chinese ritual objects was the use of bronze. In ancient times, vessels were made to be used for drinks and foods and came in different forms. Some of the containers had accents of rounded and molded handles which rest on well-created bases.

There was an addition of hues that helped in bringing a visual display of the art. In the ...

A case study is viewed as a research methodology or basic strategy that has been scrutinized in the past as lacking rigor as well as objectivity when compared with other research methods.

Question 1.

Historian Annette Gordon-Reed states: “I think that you should approach the study of history with a spirit of curiosity. Be open minded about the possibility that the story is much bigger than what has been presented.” Considering the textbook and the discussion board content, choose one topic of American History between 1492 - 1865 on which your thinking has changed to a “bigger” understanding. Generally, all historical themes contribute to the improvement of my open-mindedness and expansion of outlook, but I would like to mark the topic of the American Revolution. Indeed, the American Revolution was a crucial part ...

Question 1

Historically, organizations focused on usage of traditional media outlets, which included newspapers, magazines as well as television as part of their advertisement strategies for their products and services. Traditional marketing, otherwise referred to as offline marketing, created some form of disconnection between consumers and organizations (Puccinelli, Wilcox, & Grewal, 2015). That created higher possibilities of failure in the marketing processes, as consumers believed that the products delivered did not suit their individual expectations. That acted as one of the key disadvantages of using traditional marketing strategies within a given marketing campaign. However, this limited organizational understanding of consumer needs and ...

The idea of a paperless society has been much cherished over a half century. In the context of the rapidly changing information age, one’s easy access to information seems vital in every sphere of one’s social life. The idea is that electronic gadgets like computers, smartphones, and other digital devices would replace paper. As Mirabito and Morgenstern (2004) define it in simple terms, “in a paperless society, information is increasingly created, exchanged, and stored in an electronic form; and, “the society is no longer dependent on paper for writing memos, checks and other documents” (p. 198). Admittedly, ...

Campus Violence and Policies of Primary and Secondary Schools in Michigan

It is pertinent to note that violence has evolved from just targeting students. It could sometimes involve school staff and even the school administration. The issue of violence and disciplines are often addressed as a unit, but there should be different ways of dealing with both cases because more often than not, violence often overtakes disciplines issues and needs further investigations and probing (School Safety and Violence, 2016). Acts of violence are often common, and they could occur repeatedly. Despite the severity of violence, school administrators often ignore them, in some cases, it often goes unreported, hence, increasing the ...

Introduction

With the increasingly expanding size of the warehouses, libraries and other storage facilities, and the rising number of items that need to be stored, organized, kept account of and retrieved on a regular basis, the question of optimizing storage space and speeding up the process of placing and retrieving items in the storage is very relevant. Nowadays this task is often delegated to the automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS), which can handle items of various sizes and weights: from heavy pallet loads in the large warehouses to a single book in a library.

Introduction

Some actions such as divorce, same sex marriage and other practices were considered morally wrong in the past (Giletti, 2012).
