The Battle of the Marne The First World War was fought between 1914 and 1918. The six of Europe’s powerful countries formed allies against each other in the initial stages of the war. France, Britain, and Russia formed the Triple Entente while Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Italy formed the Central powers. World War I is also known as the Great war because of its impact on the world’s history. It is averaged that around seven million soldiers died during the war. America later entered the war in 1917, supporting the Entente Alliance. Many battles happened before America entered the war. The Battle of the Marne marked the beginning of the war in 1914. Though Germany had declared war on Russia, it had strategized to knock out France before Russia had mobilized its soldiers. This strategy was later named the Schlieffen Plan. However, the French army assembled so fast, and with the support of the British, they launched an attack which led to the German soldiers retreating. Another critical battle was the battle of Gallipoli in 1915 April to January 1916. Other…
The Third of May by Francisco Goya 1808 in Madrid The artistic movement associated with the work of art The Third of May Originated in Europe towards the end of the 18th Century, Specifically from the year 1800 to 1850. This work of art belongs to Romanticism. According to Schneider (2007), Romanticism was branded by the focus on glorification of all the past and nature as well as on individualism and emotion. Additionally, Romanticism had a complex and significant influence on politics, whereby, the romantic thinkers swayed the radicalism, nationalism, Liberalism, and Liberalism. Style of the artist Particularly in his youth, Goya was very familiar with the late Rococco and Baroque styles. His painting embraced much of personality, making it align with the conventional. This trait made his paints more unique in the era of the romanticism movement. As shown in the painting on the Third of May, this style helped Goya to depict his unease on the individuals who were suffering as a result of war or politics (Kleiner, 2009). Influences that shaped the Third of May painting Political…
The Aum Shinrikyo Asahara, the group’s leader, ordered his top generals to execute Sakamoto, who was the legal representative of the families’ that lost their children to the cult, and the planning for his death started. The chosen method was to use an injection of potassium chloride. However, at the meetings, the use of botulinum was also discussed. Botulinum was an agent that, in large quantities of a small dose, would shut down the nervous system. This is how the group started the use of biological weapons. The group decided to stick to this method due to the effortless planning required, the non-effectiveness of crude methods, the absence of women, and the attacks were carried out by top tier members. The group invested in biological weapons by obtaining Clostridium botulinum, the bacterium that produces botulinum toxin (Danzig & Center for a New American Security, 2012). The mission was a success as it was disguised as a research item because Aum ran a hospital. The collection of the bacterium was in Ishikarigawa Basin from the soil. This method of collection, rather…

challenges of mining association rules with item taxonomy Assignment #3 (100 point) Students are required to submit the assignment 3 to your instructor for grading. The assignments are on the assigned materials/textbook topics associated with the course modules. Please read the following instruction and complete it to post on schedule. Consider the data set shown in Table 5.20 (439 page). (Chapter 5) (a) Compute the support for itemsets {e}, {b, d}, and {b, d, e} by treating each transaction ID as a market basket. (b) Use the results in part (a) to compute the confidence for the association rules {b, d} −→ {e} and {e} −→ {b, d}. Is confidence a symmetric measure? (c) Use the results in part (c) to compute the confidence for the association rules {b, d} −→ {e} and {e} −→ {b, d}. Consider the transactions shown in Table 6.15, with an item taxonomy given in Figure 6.15 (515 page). (Chapter 6) (a) What are the main challenges of mining association rules with item taxonomy? (b) Consider the approach where each transaction t is replaced by…
Direct Democracy in Switzerland Direct democracy allows citizens to decide on the country’s policies directly. Most of the states adopt a representative type of democracy, unlike pure democracy. In Switzerland, citizens pass executive decisions and laws without necessarily having an intermediary representative. Switzerland is one of few nations in history to have practiced direct democracy. Any form of legislation drafted by the political class is subjected to the public for approval (Fossedal, 2018). After the political elites make legislation, institutions call the citizens to review the legislation and sign. If the signatures by the people exceed the required number, the legislation or proposed policy is passed as a law. The public participation in any bill in Switzerland grants more power to the citizens. In Switzerland, the instruments of direct democracy allow the citizens to participate in voting without registering as voters. Voting in Switzerland is conducted about four times in every financial year. The regular voting culture in Switzerland enables the citizens to decide on issues such as the construction of a new street, change of a certain policy,…
Reversing the Outcome of Synapse Elimination at Developing Neuromuscular Junctions In Vivo: Evidence Objectives of the study The main reasons for this study include: Objectives To assess how in vivo imaging is used to analyze the connections between the target muscle cells and neuron axons (motor). In explanation, the study is based at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) while in the developmental stage the time when every NMJ has various connections To investigate how synapse loss develops. To identify the functional neurons and connections with issues. To analyze competitive mechanism and how it increases the strength and size of inputs related to shrinking and weakening, thus affect other axons. Summary of experiments and findings The experiment requirements were mice expressing cytoplasmic GFP1; another was YFP line 16. Both could also be used or CFP-23 and do a cross-breeding with YFP-16. GFP is not meant for imaging. In the experiment, the procedures done were photobleaching and multicolor axon labeling, laser ablation, imaging, and modelling (Turney & Lichtman, 2012). The experiment begins with the classification of the synapses, and the neuromuscular synapse…
Suppression of Evidence and Search and Seizure Evidence plays a critical role in determining the innocence or guilt of an individual in the case they are brought before a court of law. Thus, the process in which a legal officer obtains the evidence is equally important. In situations where the evidence is obtained through illegal means, then it could be inadmissible before the law. Criminals may be set free and given the mandate to continue with their criminal activities when the evidence that could place them behind doors is not collected in the required way. For instance, an individual could file for a specific case to be dismissed when the items collected during a search process do not appear on the warrant granted by a prosecutor. In the case study, John Smith was driving at 3 a.m in the city of Carlsbad when he was stopped by a traffic officer on the basis of something obstructing the driver who was moving at an estimated speed of between 31 to 33mph. When Smith was asked to pull over, the officer said…
Lessening Dependency on Fossil Fuels in The United States Presently, the United States is entirely reliant on fossil fuel to meet the daily growing energy needs. The United States acquires most of its energy from fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, and oil. This is due to the reliance of people on it to heat their homes, run vehicles, electricity provision, powering industries and manufacturing. Apparently, the transportation industry of the country is enormously dependent on conventional petroleum oil that is responsible for global warming. This threatens national security and also economic opulence. Additionally, the increased consumption of these fossil fuels has elevated the states’ conditions of health problems and destroyed the wild environment through pollution of the environment (Foster et al., 2017). After the conduction of environmental impact analysis, projections indicated that the consumption of world energy would increase by 80% in the future, and this will significantly alter the climate of the world in addition to the weakening of the environment of global security. The United States has to put into consideration the rate at which…
AP and Fox News on Brexit: Article Comparison and Analysis Media houses sometimes distort information to suit their agendas. That does not always mean that the information they report is inaccurate; rather, it may include elements of bias in its conveyance. The presentation and distribution of information often depend on the methods of data collection, motive and personal views of the distributor. As such, news can often contain contamination resulting from bias and skewed perceptions of the parties involved. Most news outlets have political and social affiliations that manifest in either subtle or overt ways. The paper will focus on the coverage of Brexit by Associated Press (AP) and Fox News. Specifically, the paper will offer a summary of the information, analyze it and then provide a comparison between the modes of reporting between the two articles. The official exit of the U.K. from the EU took place on the 31st of January 2020. Both agents covered the event from Belgium. According to Fox News (Casiano 2020), the crossover took place at midnight in Brussels, the EU headquarters. The event…
