Julia D. - présidente du comité des élèves dans Lycée General n° III 70 B/2 rue Reya 80-363 Warsovie Tél: +48 554-24-78 Monsieur le Directeur du Lycée General n° III 27, rue du Legionów 81405 Warsovie Warsovie, le 15 janvier 2012 Objet: Objection à la décision de faire des cours soir supplémentairesobligatoires pour des élèves de dernière année. Monsieur le Directeur, Comme la représentante des élèves de III BI il faut que j'exprime notre déception liée à votre décision d'organiser des cours du soir supplémentaires qui seraient obligatoires pour touts les élèves de dernière année. Nous trouvons cela inadmissible et contre les lois d'élève. Tout d'abord, la majorité des élèves de III BI se sentent déjà suffisamment chargés d'exceptionnellement haute nombre des leçons que nous avons chaque semaine. Nous sommes conscients que s'était notre choix d'étudier dans la classe BI mais au début de notre éducation en BI chacun de nous a choisi le nombre défini des sujets et d'heurs qu'il est capable de suivre. Cela est contre les lois d'élève et, en dehors de cela très insensible de votre part, de nous grever plus. En outre, vous êtes conscient qu'une grande partie d'élèves de III BI vivent loin de l'école. Déjà, sans des leçons additionnelles, ils retournent à la maison très tard après-midi. Sitôt ils
The Effect of Temperature on Enzymatic Activity. Aim To investigate enzyme activity of yeast on glucose at different temperatures
Effect of Temperature on enzyme activity Aim To investigate enzyme activity of yeast on glucose at different temperatures Hypothesis As the temperature increases, enzyme activity will also increase. At lower temperatures enzyme activity will be less than when the temperature is higher. Also if temperature is increased too much, enzymatic activity will fall. This is because the molecules in glucose will move faster and the enzymes will be have increased activity because of increased movement. Also since all enzymes have an optimum temperature at which enzymatic activity is the highest, increasing the temperature will move enzyme closer to optimum temperature. But if temperature is increased too much, enzyme will start to denature (loss of three-dimensional structure) and thus the enzymatic activity will fall again Key Variables Independent: Temperature Dependent: Enzymatic activity (number of bubbles) Controlled: Amount of water that the solution is submerged in Time Concentration of glucose Materials • • 100mL beakers x5 (label from A-E) • • 5 cm3 syringes x5 • • 10 cm3 of 10% yeast solution • • 15cm3 of 2% glucose solution • • 1 thermometer • • 2 hotplates • • Stopwatch • • Ice cubes x 6 • • 400mL water • • Observations chart & pen Method . 1.

Aujourdhui, je vais vous prsenter une analyse dun tableau peint par Ren Magritte qui est appelle Le Fils de lHomme .
Le Fils d'Homme Aujourd'hui, je vais vous présenter une analyse d'un tableau peint par René Magritte qui est appelle " Le Fils de l'Homme ". Premièrement, je vais parler un peu de l'histoire de Magritte et après cela, je vais vous donner mon interprétation sur cette peinture. René Gislain Magritte est né le 21 novembre 1898 en Belgique dans une famille modeste. Il était un impressionniste au début de sa carrière avant d'arriver à son style caractéristique du surréalisme, après plusieurs années d'études. Magritte s'approcha de son art de rendre les gens s'interroger sur la réalité qui établit autour d'eux, et non pas simplement accepter les choses comme elles semblent être. Le fils de l'homme est l'une des plus célèbres peintures de Magritte, en plus de la bien connue "La Trahison des Images". Dans ce tableau, il y a un homme dans un costume debout sur ce qui semble être un pont avec une pomme verte couvrant son visage. À première vue, cette peinture semble un peu bizarre à cause de la pomme en face du visage de l'homme. Par conséquent, le sens de cette peinture est difficile à déchiffrer. Il y a de nombreuses interprétations de la signification derrière cette peinture, mais aujourd'hui, je vais seulement parler de l'un. Travers cette peinture, il semble que Magritte a essayé d'incarner le thème du péché des hommes. La pomme verte, qui

The Stark effects of being absurd in society- The Outsider
The Stark effects of being absurd in society- The Outsider A long time ago, I summed up 'The Outsider in a sentence which I realise is extremely paradoxical: 'In our society any man who doesn't cry at his mother's funeral is liable to be condemned to death.' Albert Camus 8th January 1955 The novel 'The Outsider' establishes a being that is a 'Nomad' or existential in a sense of the society he lives in and the wandering on the cliff beside the sea of introversion and poignancy. Meursault is commonly misunderstood and is regarded as a reject. Furthermore he refuses to lie. A lie is a statement made by someone, in the expectation that the hearers may believe it. 'In the case of the human heart saying more than one feels,' Meursault conforms to the existential presuppositions; this is regarding reality as the state of being, the truth, often unheard of in politics and society. Consequently society feels threatened, by Meursault's refusal to satisfy the feelings of others by showing little remorse for his mother's death. His indifference leads him to be condemned by a trial. In the early stages of the book Meursault is seen as an adverse individual towards society, one who speaks his consciousness. Camus creates a paradoxical character against the normality of society, which brings out stark differences through the use of Meursault's ability to state facts. This narrative effect
Portrayal of colonisers and the colonised in Joseph Conrads Heart of Darkness
Portrayal of colonisers and the colonised in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness was published 1902, after first being a three-part series in magazines. This book is one of the most influential books in world literature, it has made a huge impact on other authors and some of them have even written a whole book about this book. For example the Swedish author Olof Lagercrantz has written a whole book "Färd med Mörkrets Hjärta" (eng: "Walk with Heart of Darkness"), where he analyses Conrad's work. The book has also been made in to a movie (Heart of Darkness), and inspired a making of another film, Apocalypse Now. The book is about colonisation and can be refer to any colonisation at any time. During the entire book Marlowe, the main character, is retelling the story. In short, the book is about how far the human can go for money and power and also how easily a human being can forget what is right and what is wrong when he is put in unfamiliar environment. In the beginning of the book a story is being told about a Danish man who got killed by the natives after he had attacked them. The reason was because of a misunderstanding about some hence. The Danish man is, or rather was, described as " the gentlest, quietest creature that ever walked on two legs". This statement makes it even more clear how much the coloniser was marked by being
To what extent could Keralas approach in controlling population group be applied to other parts of the world such as China, Nigeria or others?
To what extent could Kerala's approach in controlling population group be applied to other parts of the world such as China, Nigeria or others? Family planning refers to attempts to limit family size. Family planning methods include contraceptives such as the pill as well as drastic methods such as forced sterilization, abortion and infanticide. Kerala had spectacular success in limiting fertility without any strong regulation like China or even any financial support, incentives like other parts of India. Improving of the quality of people living in rural areas was considered to be a que of economic development. India was one of the first countries to attempt an aggressive family program as far back as the 1950's, but the results of such a policy have been mixed over the last six decades. While the population growth in India has slowed in certain provinces, it remains largely outpaced by continuing exponential population growth. The success of government-backed promotion of birth control has had limited by a number of factors, but the most important of these has been, according to the World Health Organization, which is largely supportive of family-planning programs: high level of illiteracy, poor access to information, poverty, and gender-based disparities serve as significant barriers to family planning. These include social stereotypes, lack of male involvement in family
Malthus got it right-we are doomed?
Malthus got it right-we are doomed? How far do you agree with this statement when discussing the population-resource relationship in the 21st century? In 1789 the Reverend Thomas Robert Malthus produced his 'Essay on the Principle of Population', which were based on two principles: first one being that the food supply would increase arithmetically over time, and the second one being that population would grow geometrically/exponentially. There would be a finite optimum population size (carrying capacity) in relation to food supply. So if the population would reach beyond this carrying capacity, it would lead to a decline in the standard of living - it would lead to war, famine and diseases. Nowadays, his prediction luckily is not the case. Since the 'Green Revolution' started in 1945, there has been an enormous increase in food supply provided by agricultural markets. The green revolution has enabled food production to keep pace with the increasing global population growth. The Green Revolution has provided some great benefits: "From 1950 to 1984, as the Green Revolution transformed agriculture around the world, grain production increased by over 250%"1 and "The world population has grown by about four billion since the beginning of the Green Revolution and most believe that, without the Revolution, there would be greater famine and malnutrition than the UN presently
Investigating the factors related to the crater formed by a falling object.
IB Physics SL 2 Leo Tran /17/12 W2 Mr. Chorman Design Lab Investigating the factors related to the crater formed by a falling object. Research The aim of the experiment is to investigate the relationship between the height from which a ball is being dropped on sand and the diameter of the crater it formed from its impact on the sand. This will be done by dropping the ball from fixed heights and then measuring the diameter of the crater formed for each height using an accurate meter scale. If the drop height of the ball is increased then the diameter of the crater will also increase. As the drop height is increased, the potential energy of the ball will also increase since PE = mass * g * height. As a result, the force of impact of the ball on the surface will increase because all the potential energy will be changed into kinetic energy (velocity) of the ball just before its impact on the sand. This increase in the force of impact will move more sand sideways and downwards resulting in the formation of a bigger bowl shaped crater, hence the increase in diameter. Variables * The independent variable is the drop height of the ball. * The dependent variable is the diameter of the crater formed by the impact of the ball on the sand. * The controlled variables include the same snooker ball, same type of sand, and keeping the sand parallel to the ground level.
Earthquakes: the Same Effects, but Differing Responses
Earthquakes: the Same Effects, but Differing Responses Earthquakes are the result of energy release within the earth's crust, as well as an immense natural hazard greatly affecting people - despite whether it is a more or less economically developed country. However, the way in which responses occur may differ between these regions. Underlying friction is the initial cause of earthquakes. As tectonic plates begin to shift, they are resistant and still held together by friction - whether with another plate, or the mantle. However, the force to shift the plate continues despite the friction against this force, until the force overpowers the friction and the plate moves; causing many impacts. Some include shaking and ground rupture; resulting in more or less damage to infrastructure, landslides and avalanches; which can occur if slopes are produced from the earthquake; and fires, if the earthquake causes damage to electrical power or gas lines. Other impacts include those caused by water - such as a tsunami; if the earthquake has caused sudden or abrupt movement of large masses of water, and floods; which occur from an overflow of water onto land. Lastly, humans can be impacted as earthquakes can cause injury and loss of life. Responses to earthquakes are affected by economic factors and types of technology available. Some immediate responses include rescue and medical teams
