MEMORANDUM FOR TECHNICAL DIRECTOR‚ WOBC SUBJECT: Book Review on The Defence of Duffers Drift by Ernest Swinton 1. The Defence of Duffers Drift was written by British Major General Ernest Swinton. Swinton’s main focus was to portray a series of events or battles he commanded during the South African War‚ occurring from 1899-1902. As a brand new officer‚ Swinton was giving the mission to protect Duffers drift at all costs. With no combat experience‚ this young officer had to devise a plan to

generation to generation. There are three ways that microevolution can occur: mutation‚ genetic drift and natural selection. Mutation is the change in a gene of the DNA of an organism. This may change an allele and possibly the alleles frequency in the gene pool of the population. Genetic drift is an unpredictable change in a populations allelic frequencies from generation to generation. Genetic drift is also a change by chance. An example is the founder affect‚ in which a small group from a population

CONTINENTAL DRIFT THEORY In the early 20th century‚ German scientist Alfred Wegener published a book explaining his theory that the continental landmasses‚ far from being immovable‚ were drifting across the Earth. He called this movement continental drift. Wegener noticed that the coasts of western Africa and eastern South America looked like the edges of interlocking pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. He was not the first to notice this‚ but he was the first to formally present evidence suggesting

Although it has been referred to as the “Noble Game of Billiards‚” the game of pocket billiards has long held a reputation as a game played by‚ shady individuals‚ in smoke filled parlors only accessible through dark alleyways and basement stairwells‚ who have only one goal in mind‚ and that is to part the poor unsuspecting individual who happened to stumble in off the street‚ from his money. While this may be true in some cases‚ the reality is that over 36 million people in the United States play

confines of the Burger Court (1969-1986)‚ do the justices of the United States Supreme Court drift ideologically over their tenure on the bench?” We felt that this very narrow and extremely controlled Court era would allow us to best approach our hypothesis without the bias of changing courts‚ inexperienced justices‚ and Chief Justice turnover. Thus‚ our hypothesis came to be that justices ’ ideologies tend to drift towards the center of the spectrum over their tenure largely due to their life appointments

mechanisms of evolution. Another well-known mechanism is random genetic drift. This is a mechanism that results in fixation (or loss) of alleles by purely random processes. The topic is thoroughly covered in all the major textbooks—it is not controversial. Unless you deny the existence of random genetic drift‚ you must agree that some of evolution is entirely due to chance events. The controversy is over how much of evolution is due to drift and how much is due to natural selection. Excellent arguments have

CASE STUDY: AVOIDING THE ALIGNMENT TRAP IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Executive Summary An alarming pattern has surfaced in that many companies are concentrating on alignment and are finding that their performance is either declining or moving sideways. Companies are focusing on the wrong solutions with respect to their Information Technology problems‚ resulting in severe bottlenecks to growth. Companies need to learn how to break out of the trap and build IT organizations that allow for growth

Continental Drift is the principle that the continent landmasses have not remained in fixed positions‚ but have moved around the earth’s surface apparently independently. It is important in evolution because of the effects it has had on evolution and taxonomic diversity‚ brought about by the collision and moving apart of landmasses. The drifting apart of land masses brings about vicariance‚ where organisms are split up by the development of barriers‚ isolating descendent populations which then evolve
