Biology Coursework To determine if the distribution of flora across Ellerbeck is due to chance. The valley containing Eller beck possesses a huge variety of different species of plant life, particular species are often found in specific places across the valley, to find out why these particular plants grow in the particular places I mean to investigate where different species of plants are located and what the conditions in those particular places are, investigating the effects of several factors on the distribution of these different species across a specific area of the valley. I believe that the varied distribution of the different species investigated is directly related to, and can be explained by the differences in the factors I will be measuring, that certain plants will grow in certain places in the area because they are more suitably adapted, in whatever way to the conditions in that specific place. This is a rough diagram of Ellerbeck. I plan to perform my investigation using two information gathering techniques, after first establishing a straight line across the valley by taking a bearing using a compass from one point at the top of the South side of the valley and following that bearing down the valley, across the beck and up the other side whilst performing both a line transect and an interrupted belt transect. I also plan to perform an interrupted belt
Corruption-A fact of life in the indian society
Corruption: A fact of life in the Indian Society The consequences of corruption are well known. But, in India, these consequences are not well-realised. The public has not had an adequate realisation of the dangers of corruption. Corruption is Anti- national and Anti- economic development. We, as the inhabitants of this nation, have either given up hope of making our country less corrupt or, we have accepted corruption as a fact of life. It is not easy to define corruption. But in a narrow sense, corruption is mostly concerned with bribery and it takes several forms. Corruption has progressively increased and is now rampant in our society. Now, corruption is not only confined to politicians or the government alone. The fact is that most of the Indians are involved in corrupt practices in one way or the other, either due to greed or due to so called compulsion. There are not many causes of corruption. But amidst these few causes, there is one main cause. That one main cause is us, the people of India. Just so that our work becomes easy and fast going, we pay bribes and make sure our wanted work is done. The main cause is growing competition in this growing country. As the country grows, so does the corruption and blocks the growth. This is one of the reasons for India still being a less economically developed country. From small time clerks to the high profile politicians,
A famous Person - Simone de Beauvoir
A famous person - Simone de Beauvoir Né au début du vingtième siècle, Simone de Beauvoir est célèbre pour avoir été une féministe militante. Son oeuvre romanesque, autobiographique et critique souligne sa pensée en tant que femme, philosophe et féministe. Fille d'une mère Catholique qui avait déjà passé des années au couvent, et d'un père très conservateur, raciste, et antirépublicain, elle raconte son enfance dans la première volume de son oeuvre autobiographique, Mémoires d'une jeune fille rangée. Rejetant la pensée traditionnelle, Simone de Beauvoir se lie avec Jean-Paul Sartre, alors étudiant à l'ENS (l'École Normale Supérieur), l'une des plus prestigieuses grandes écoles françaises. Ils ne s'arrêteront de se rapprocher, et deviendront amants. Ils partagent même une place à Paris, la place de Jean-Paul Sartre et Simone de Beauvoir, non loin de St-Germain-des-Près. Sartre ne sera pas son seul ou dernier amant ; à Chicago, elle rencontra Algren, avec qui elle rompra et qui va la rejoindre un jour sur Paris. Son oeuvre littéraire est impressionnant. Des romans, articles, manifestes (notamment celui des femmes qui auraient subi des avortements illégaux (tout avortement étant illégal jusqu'en dix-neuf-cent soixante-dix-neuf), en en plus des préface à d'autres œuvres notables, y compris le roman autobiographique La Bâtarde, de
Explain how economists model how an increase in government expenditure can lead to a greater increase in national income.
Explain how economists model how an increase in government expenditure can lead to a greater increase in national income. Ans. National income is the total amount of wealth that accrues to the permanent residents of a country as a result of the production of goods and services within a country during the course of a year. It is important to measure national income because it shows whether the standard of living in a country is rising or falling and it can be used as a means of comparison between other countries. It is also useful to measure income against past income in the same country to see whether the economy is growing or declining. An increase in government expenditure is an injection in the circular flow on income. An injection is an addition to the circular flow of income. The diagram above illustrates some of the injections and leakages in the economy. It is however very important to find out exactly what will be the effect on the economy from an increase in injections. Economists do this by calculating the multiplier effect of the increase in the government expenditure on the economy. The multiplier indicates how many times that the injection of original spending circulates through a local economy. As a result of re-spending, it benefits the local people. The formula for calculating the multiplier effect is 1/(1-MPC). When there is an increase in the
Why was the Weimar Republic so unpopular with many Germans between 1919 and 1923?
Why was the Weimar Republic so unpopular with many Germans between 1919 and 1923? After The War a new type of government was set up in Germany. This was the Weimar Republic. Between 1919 and 1923 it had to deal with many problems. 1919 saw the Spartacist Rebellion and the new government was forced to agree to the unpopular Treaty of Versailles. In 1920 the Kapp Putsch succeeded in taking over the government for a while. In 1921 Germany began to pay reparations and inflation began to get out of control. Two years later France and Belgium invaded the Ruhr and the hyperinflation was now out of control. The NSDAP, led by Adolf Hitler and General Ludendorff, tried to take over the government at this time. This bad start had three main causes. The First reason why the Weimar Republic started badly was that there were political problems. Some people were very upset that the Kaiser had been forced to leave. This was a politically a bad start because it showed that some people would have preferred to have had the previous political system. The communists disliked the new republic because not much would change. The workers would still be poor and the rich would still be rich. They wanted the workers to have power. This contributed to the Weimar Republic's early unpopularity because there are a group of people (the communists) who know that they will not agree with the key policies

Blues Music
Blues Music Blues Music began as songs sung by black slaves in the mid - 19th century in the Southern United states. It has taken elements from African, European and American folk music. After the Civil War and emancipation the Blues spread, together with the species that sang and played it, from the cotton fields of the southern states to northern cities such as Chicago and Detroit, where the music became hugely popular. The notes in the blues scale are very dissonant. This may be because the black slaves were in misery working all day, and the scale represents their feelings. In the scale of C, the notes in the blues scale are: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This is the chord sequence in 12-bar blues music. It is still sometimes heard in popular music today.

It often rolls between 2 notes, and sometimes there is a glissando, which is sliding from one note to another. Blues music may also
Agricultural Issues: Genetic Modification.
Agricultural Issues: Genetic Modification Scientists are developing ways to make new genetically modified (GM) food that could transform the way we feed ourselves. GM crops may enable more food to be produced from less land using less water and fewer chemicals. However, some people question whether this "gene revolution" will really reduce hunger in the world. Others worry that it is being pushed too quickly without enough consideration of its long term impact. Throughout the world there are drastic inequalities in food supply with the emergence of areas of surplus and famine. The cause of such inequalities vary from physical to human and political. Most of the responses to these problems have been driven by high income, high technology MEDC's or trans-national companies. The impacts of the Green Revolution, intensification of farming and the development of genetically-modified foods have varied. Some are economic while others have been social or environmental: some have brought benefits, while others have created problems and some may be focused upon the environment e.g., organic farming. Throughout the world genetic modification has been used freely for more that a decade as a research tool for medical purposes and in food ingredients. It holds exiting promise, not only for conquering disease, eliminating pests and contributing to the knowledge economy but for enhancing

Compare how the poems What Were They Like and Vultures present the cruelty of war.
Compare how the poems "What Were They Like" and "Vultures" present the cruelty of war. Both poems, "What Were They Like" (WWTL) and "Vultures" has conflict as a common theme. "WWTL" is about the Vietnam war and the lasting effect of war on the culture, whereas "Vultures" is loosely about WWII and the conflict between good and evil. One of the ways that Levertov presents the cruelty of war in "WWTL" is through the ignorance of those in conflict. The structure of the poem takes the form of question and answer, which could perhaps be seen as a soldier asking a person of a higher status, because of the use of 'sir'. By asking about the past, the soldier is ignorant of the effect that he has on the 'people of Viet Nam'. In the same way the 'Daddy' in "Vultures" ignores the 'fumes of human roast'; but action cannot be without consequence, which causes the experience 'clinging rebelliously'. Here both poets imply that not knowing the consequences of war is the cruellest act of all, otherwise lives and culture would not be lost. In "Vultures", the cruelty of war is also shown through the conflict of good and evil. Achebe contrasts the beauty of 'love' to the ugliness of vultures; this shows that those at conflict can unite even with their differences. He admires the 'pebble on a stem' as well designed, similar to that of a tank, but at the same time well designed machines could
