Foreman has been the verger of St. Peter’s for sixteen years‚ which seems lengthy enough to assure him a life-time service there. Since “the vergers of St. Peter’s‚ like the popes Rome‚ were there for life”‚ Foreman could never‚ even in his wildest dream‚ think of the day when he would leave the church and no longer be a verger. Yet everything is not what it seems. That very day has come when the newly-appointed vicar comes to him with the forceful and cold announcement that he is to resign because

In our society‚ you must be educated to have any sort of impact on the way our lives are governed. Through education you can in a sense learn to be your

Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize methyl m-Nitrobenzoate from methyl benzoate‚ concentrated HNO3‚ and concentrated H2 SO4 by an electrophilic substitution reaction. The H2 SO4 and the HNO3 were initially combined to form nitronium ion which was then used as an electrophile in the reaction. Crystals that were collected after the formation of the methyl m-Nitrobenzoate were collected by vacuum filtration and the product was isolated and purified

The Effects of Illiteracy Literacy is defined as the ability when reading‚ writing and working with basic numbers. On the other hand‚ illiteracy is fundamentally not being able to read or to comprehend written communication; in fact‚ illiterates cannot understand some opinions from other persons. People who are illiterate feel pressure from society and they start to feel emotions such as anxious and depressant because they cannot read or understand simple things‚ for example: read a newspaper‚ the

Chem 51LC Experiment 6 Lab Report Aldol Reaction Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to be able to conduct an aldol condensation reaction using an unknown aldehyde and an unknown ketone. H NMR is used to identify the unknown aldehyde and ketone. Melting point is used to identify the aldol condensation reaction. Theory: Condensation reaction is also known as a dehydration reaction. In the mechanism of condensation reaction‚ a bond is formed between two molecules and creates water as a

New book explores literacy‚ reading among boys Generations of schoolboys who squirmed through lectures on symbolism in "Lord of the Flies" may want to thank Michael W. Smith for finally understanding their pain. In a new book‚ the associate professor of literacy education at the Graduate School of Education‚ and his University of Maine colleague‚ Jeff Wilhelm‚ document their research exploring why boys’ literacy test scores are consistently lower than girls’. The book‚ "Reading Don’t Fix No

Introduction A polymer is a large molecule comprised of numerous smaller molecules. It is possible for these large molecules to be linear‚ moderately branched‚ or highly interconnected. In the latter case the structure progresses into a large three-dimensional complex. The small molecules that serve as the basic building blocks for these large molecules are known as monomers (See Figure 1.1). An example of the relationship between a monomer and polymer is the commercially important material polyvinylchloride
