The British Isles, a group of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, is packed with mouth-watering and sumptuous food varieties. Countries that comprise the British Isles have followed entirely different paths.

Despite different paths followed by these various countries, many aspects tie the modern day cuisine, and there are several classic dishes that are common to all nations. The Celtic connection has made many ties and links between the ...

It’s a bright and warm Sunday morning, and as I jog along the park's walking trail, my mind is busy with thoughts of mouth-watering sizzling steak on the grill. They say that, “Exercise helps reduce food cravings,” but that doesn’t work for me. The more I exercise, the more it triggers my appetite and the sheer thought of marvelous succulent, savory steak fueled my cravings. Sundays always give me the blues as it brings back memories of my dear Grandma who cooks the best Salisbury steak that were so good- to- the- last- bite. I grew up ...

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

During my childhood, I wondered why I had to go to school more often. To me, school was a distraction meant to separate me from my family, specifically my mum. However, over the years, through interacting and working with other people I have come to appreciate the thought that I am one of the few privileged in the world to set a foot in school, leave alone college. The most interesting thing about my school life, especially in college is the fact that I have come to see people for who they are. In this reflective essay, I plan ...

Working in groups is very essential to development, as it helps people to be able to work well with others in an efficient manner. Moreover, working in groups also helps individuals to work with those of various personalities and temperaments as well. For example; while some people in a group can be kind and understanding, there are those who can be bossy and order others around too. This is what individuals must deal with when working in groups, at one point or another. As “Hitchhikers and Couch Potatoes” says within a team setting, conflict is something that must be ...

The discovery of the “New World” the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1492 was one of the most momentous moments in world history. It went far past what we take for granted, the opening of an entire new section of the world map for European conquest. Although that is an important fact about Columbus’ historical contribution it certainly isn’t the only one. The discovery of the Americas created an Atlantic world and new forms of exchange therein. The Columbian exchange, the trading of many things from the New World to the Old – Africa and Europe – is what’s ...

Introduction

The pathophysiology of atherosclerosis involves a series of complex events that can be likened to that of a chronic inflammatory process, which results in the development of an atherosclerotic plaque. The first step in the process involves injury to the endothelial cells of the artery that results in endothelial cell dysfunction. The activated endothelial cells attract vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and leukocytes, which proliferate and accumulate in the walls of the artery (Seidman, Mitchell, & Stone, 2014). These cellular components lead to the formation of a large amount of connective tissue matrix. This is the ultimate end point in ...

The economy, in this case, is said to be at equilibrium since what is supplied is equivalent to what is demanded. D S
