What is the purpose of the last two lines of a sonnet?
What is the rhyme scheme of Sonnet 73?
What do you call a stanza with 2 lines?
2 line stanzas are called Couplets.
Couplets usually rhyme.
A stanza in poetry is a group of lines usually separated by a blank line.
Stanzas of 2 lines are called Couplets from the Old French word cople meaning two..
A turn in a sonnet is called a volta. A vital part of virtually all sonnets, the volta is most frequently encountered at the end of the octave (first eight lines in Petrarchan or Spenserian sonnets), or the end of the twelfth line in Shakespearean sonnets, but can occur anywhere in the sonnet.
Do not make my love look olderAnswer: The answer is: Do not make my love look older. In Shakespeare's "Sonnet 19," he addresses time and begs it not to grow lines in his love's face.
In this sonnet Shakespeare reversed those conventions. In line 12 and in the previous one the speaker states that he has never seen a goddess walking but he's sure that her mistress walks like everyone else.
The sonnet follows the rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG. … Other common rhyme schemes include: Alternate rhyme. In an alternate rhyme, the first and third lines rhyme at the end, and the second and fourth lines rhyme at the end following the pattern ABAB for each stanza.
As nouns the difference between poem and sonnet is that poem is a literary piece written in verse while sonnet is a fixed verse form of italian origin consisting of fourteen lines that are typically five-foot iambics and rhyme according to one of a few prescribed schemes.
The best paraphrase of the first two lines would be: Sometimes, the sun shines too bright, but it is often occluded by clouds. The best paraphrase of the last two lines would be: Eventually, beauty fades, be it from chance or the passing of time.
These types of sonnet always have 14 lines and have other features which are also fixed. They all end with a rhyming couplet and the first 12 lines are divided into three quatrains, which themselves have an alternate line rhyme scheme. A sonnet follows the rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG.
The term sonnet is derived from the Italian word sonetto (from Old Provençal sonet a little poem, from son song, from Latin sonus a sound). By the thirteenth century it signified a poem of fourteen lines that follows a strict rhyme scheme and specific structure.
coupletIn a Shakespearean sonnet, the poem ends with a couplet, which is two lines that rhyme with one another, but not necessarily with the preceding lines. In a Petrarchan sonnet, the last six lines of the poem act as the ending, or as some might describe it, the "answer".
Couplet is the name for two rhyming lines of verse following immediately after each other. The heroic couplet, popular in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries consists of two lines of rhyming iambic pentameter. An octosyllabic couplet is also sometimes called a short couplet.
"My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" indicates that the speaker's beloved differs form other lovers in poetry for the lack of the traditional attributes granted to women. The main idea in the first quatrain is an alternative description of the idealized lover.
Fourteen lines: All sonnets have 14 lines, which can be broken down into four sections called quatrains. A strict rhyme scheme: The rhyme scheme of a Shakespearean sonnet, for example, is ABAB / CDCD / EFEF / GG (note the four distinct sections in the rhyme scheme).
Although the word for a single poetic line is verse, that term now tends to be used to signify poetic form more generally. … The process of arranging words using lines and line breaks is known as lineation, and is one of poetry's defining features. A distinct numbered group of lines in verse is normally called a stanza.
The couplet is rhymed CC, meaning the last two lines rhyme with each other. The Shakespearean sonnet is often used to develop a sequence of metaphors or ideas, one in each quatrain, while the couplet offers either a summary or a new take on the preceding images or ideas.
Sonnet 73 is written in typical Shakespearean or English sonnet form. It consists of three quatrains and one couplet at the end, altogether 14 lines written in iambic pentameter with a regular rhyme scheme. The rhyme pattern of this sonnet is: a b a b / c d c d / e f e f / g g.
A poem or stanza with one line is called a monostich, one with two lines is a couplet; with three, tercet or triplet; four, quatrain.

The Insider's Guide To Sneaker Reselling
Are you sitting on a pair worth thousands?
By Bobby Palmer
Sneakers aren't just for sneakerheads any more. Whereas 10 or 15 years ago you'd need an encyclopedic knowledge to get ahead in the collecting game, nowadays it's easier than ever to get your hands on high-demand kicks which sell for even higher prices. That's why it's no surprise that sneaker reselling, once a niche market for trainer obsessives, has boomed into a full-on cottage industry.
The rise of marketplace apps like StockX and GOAT, alongside the proliferation of social media sites where you're just one DM away from turning a rare pair of trainers into cash, mean that more people are selling their shoes than ever before. The global sneaker resale market has been valued at over $1 billion, while the right pair of kicks can go for £5,000 cash (or more) at UK-based sneaker havens like Crepe City.
There's a big pile of money lying at your feet, but how to take the first step to claiming it? Don't worry, we – along with some of the industry's major players – have got you covered.
Crepe City
How Do You Start Sneaker Reselling?
Not with your trusty Chuck Taylors, unfortunately. Or even your Balenciaga Triple S. If you want to get your head around the world of reselling sneakers, you need to know about limited releases – that's when the big trainer companies only release a select number of their newest, most hyped sneakers (think the Nike Jordan collabs, or the new Adidas Yeezys).
Collectors know the biggest sneaker trends, join mailing lists, download apps and queue up at sneaker stores. Those who manage to blag themselves a pair will either keep them to wear, sell them immediately, or keep them in mint condition, often with an eye to selling at a later date when their value has increased exponentially.
The people who resell in-demand models immediately will often do so for a 200-300 per cent markup – they'll buy them for £150-£200, and sell them for £400 or more. But then there are the resellers who hold onto – or, if they're lucky, come across – an older limited release (think '90s Air Jordans in classic colourways, or the original Nike Yeezys).
In this instance, fewer unworn pairs exist, meaning the resale price only goes up. Simple economics. These second-hand shoes will sell for more than second-hand cars.
If all of that sounds like nonsense, here's some good news: you don't actually have to be a sneakerhead to make it big in the game. "Shoes are seen as a commodity now," says Crepe City founder Ron Raichura. "You've got people who used to be ticket touts buying shoes, because the market is so big."
And while going full tout might earn you the ire of the sneakerhead community, a little bit of research will definitely help ingratiate yourself with the people you're buying from and selling to. "You need to do a bit of research. Know what you're buying, and where you should sell it."
Online marketplace StockX is a good place to start – their 'market watch' function will allow you to track, stock exchange-style, which shoes are worth your valuable time and money. "You can see the demand which is already existing for these products before they're released," says Derek Morrison, director of Europe at StockX. "If people are buying pairs early for way above retail, it's pretty obvious there's going to be money to be made off that shoe."
For the more knowledgeable collectors, reselling sneakers is a career in itself – and it pays well. "You can make a living reselling sneakers," says Jasmin Miller, spokesperson for sneaker resale app GOAT. "In 2017, our top sellers each sold more than $2 million in sneakers. At the end of 2018, those same top sellers had each sold more than $10 million in sneakers overall. There's a huge market looking to buy sneakers, and it's only growing."
Sneaker Reselling Tips From The Pros
Now that Google has made every thrift shop attendant into a sneaker aficionado, you're highly unlikely to find a pair of vintage Air Jordans in your local charity shop bargain bin. That means, for the novice reseller, new releases are your best bet.
"Every other week there's a pair of shoes coming out which you can make £30-£50 on," Morrison says. "Or you can buy several pairs, sit on them for a few months, and they'll probably be worth even more." If you want to make real money, though, you'll have to put the effort in.
"There are at least a handful of shoes throughout the year which will immediately go for 5-10 times the retail value of the shoe, and quite a lot more which will go for a 3-5 times markup. Those are usually the ones where you have to enter raffles, or camp out for the weekend. If you get your hands on them, though, it's like winning a lottery ticket."
Sam Kersh, aka @sneakersocialite, is one of Instagram's OG sneaker resellers, with over 150,000 followers – so his advice is worth listening to. "You can find rare sneakers in all sorts of ways: general releases, resellers, suppliers in the industry and friends' events," he says. As for how he makes his living, it's all about using the tools already at your disposal: "I mostly use Instagram, eBay, and Facebook groups to sell stock," he says.
If your follower count is lacking, reselling apps like StockX and GOAT will give you an easy way of getting your product out there (as long as it's something people want to buy). "It's all about keeping an eye on the market and knowing what's desirable," Morrison says. "For example, I know that there are shoes from nine years ago that Kaws did with Nike which are now going for £1,000. And we see stuff go for £5,000-£10,000 every week."
In terms of when to sell your most prized pairs, it might be worth holding out – limited releases from the best sneaker brands tend to only get more profitable with age, thanks to the scarcity of unworn pairs on the market. Because of this, you can even take the gamble and buy trainers at their immediate resale value, with an eye to 'flipping' them again a year or so later.
"Sometimes the best deal is after they've already sold out," Morrison explains. "There are shoes from last year which are worth 150 per cent more than their resale value on StockX the day after they were released."
The Best Sneaker Reselling Sites
The aesthetically-pleasing online marketplace runs a tight ship, where all sneakers sold through the platform are authenticated by machine learning and human expertise.

crepe-city.co.uk/
The community marketplace for menswear enthusiasts doesn't only focus on trainers, meaning you can spend your hard-earned cash on pre-owned Gucci and Supreme.

The Best Shoes To Sell Right Now
Nike Air MAG Back to the Future
Anyone in the sneaker community will tell you these are the most coveted kicks out there. "Only 89 pairs were ever made," Miller says. "That rarity and nostalgia comes with higher price tag. A pair have sold on GOAT for $45,000."
Sells for: £20,000-£40,000
Nike Dunk SB Paris
"They're obscure," says Raichura of the second-most expensive shoes on our list. "There were only ever 202 pairs in existence, so it's basically impossible to find a brand new pair in your size nowadays."
Adidas Human Race NMD Pharrell x Chanel
The collaboration was done exclusively for Colette, a shop in Paris described by some as as 'the trendiest store in the world'. "It closed about a year-and-a-half ago," Morrison says. Now the price tag makes a little more sense.
Sells for: £6,000-£10,000
Nike Yeezy Red October
Kanye's final collaboration with Nike is ludicrously in-demand. "It's almost like people have forgotten he made them, because he moved to Adidas soon after," says Raichura. "I actually sold a pair myself, for £6,000, which is crazy."
Sells for: £4,500-£6,000
Nike Jordan 1 Retro High Off-White
"Anything around Off-White and Virgil Abloh is a safe bet right now," Derek says, of the designer du jour for everyone from Justin Bieber to A$AP Rocky. "Every single pair he's released in the last 12 months has absolutely skyrocketed."
Nike Jordan 1 Retro High Travis Scott
The biggest new shoe of 2019, the limited release started when Travis Scott played the Grammys and sold out instantly. "Resale value pre-release is already hitting £1,600, so if you're able to cop for retail you'll make some serious profit," says Kersh.
Sells for: £1,600+
One of Morrison's current favourites: "You have people who do collaborations on the iconic existing silhouettes, but this one is interesting because Nike and Jerry Lorenzo actually created an entirely new silhouette."
Sells for: £600-£1,000
Nike Sean Wotherspoon Air Max 1/97
"The price seems to be going up week by week," Raichura says. "Last summer they were selling for £400, now they're selling for over £800. I think it's because everyone was expecting to have a re-released this month, which hasn't happened."
Sells for: £600-£900

Rick Barth
Richard P. Barth, PhD, MSW is Dean, School of Social Work, University of Maryland and Co-PI for the Center. He is an active program developer and scholar in the areas of children's services, parent training, evidence-based practice and evaluation. He has previously served as a chaired professor at the University of North Carolina and the University of California at Berkeley. His first book Social and Cognitive Treatment of Children and Adolescence focused on parent mediated interventions that trained parents to deliver treatment interventions. He has developed and evaluated a para-professional home visiting program in California in the 1980s. As part of a NIH-funded study on child and adolescent mental health services in child welfare he wrote a seminal review of the parent training literature in the mid-2000s. He is now completing a study on the common components of parent training programs for children 0-3 and, also, 4-8. This work is in conjunction with a larger project on implementing common elements of evidence-based practice as a complement to manualized parent training programs. He has also evaluated many programs—he is now developing and evaluating a program entitled "Parent University" which provides group based, interactive instruction on helping low-income parents to be more responsive and effective parents of their young children. He has also evaluated programs to help foster parents communicate effectively about reproductive health with their foster youth and the impact of parental drug treatment on subsequent child maltreatment, among other evaluation efforts. He has experience with randomized clinical trials and using propensity score matching to minimize the effects of selection bias in quasi-experimental designs.
His scholarship is often cited. He is the winner of the Peter Forsythe Leadership Award from the American Public Human Services Association, the Distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for Social Work and Research, The Flynn Prize from USC, and the Presidential Award for Excellence for Research from the National Association of Social Workers.

Dacre, Moore Have Strengths for U.K. Media Roles, Dowden Says
Alex Morales
Sep 27 2020, 5:47 PM Sep 28 2020, 5:37 PM September 27 2020, 5:47 PM September 28 2020, 5:37 PM
(Bloomberg) -- U.K. Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said both former Daily Telegraph Editor Charles Moore and former Daily Mail Editor Paul Dacre have their strengths as he prepares to recruit key chiefs for the BBC and the broadcasting regulator, Ofcom.
Dowden's remarks came after the U.K. weekend papers were filled with speculation over who will lead the British Broadcasting Corp. and Ofcom. The Sunday Times, Sunday Telegraph, Observer and Mail on Sunday all reported that Dacre is Prime Minister Boris Johnson's favored candidate for Ofcom, with Moore tipped for the BBC job.
"I'm not going to get drawn into conversations about each of the candidates, clearly there are strengths to both," Dowden told Sky News. He emphasized that "everyone is getting a little bit ahead of themselves" and that the government would shortly be starting the recruitment process for both roles.
Both Moore and Dacre have been critical in the past of the BBC, suggesting the national broadcaster should brace for reforms if the men are recruited. The potential appointments of two right-wing figures in key national media roles also raised hackles in the opposition Labour Party.
"The BBC and Ofcom are integral to our national interests: Ofcom regulates the BBC and they should be free from political interference," Labour's spokeswoman on culture and media, Jo Stevens, told Sky. "They should be impartial, and specifically trailing these appointments is quite worrying."
Dowden said the BBC needs a "strong, big person" who can hold it to account. He said the broadcaster needs to ensure it has "genuine impartiality," that it adapts to the future as television moves from analog to digital, and that it "represents all parts of our nation, not just narrow metropolitan areas."

Business Court Docket Pilot Project Continues to Expand, Designating Alternate Judge, Adding Three New Commission Members
The Tennessee Business Court Docket Pilot Project continues to expand and break new ground, providing an invaluable resource to Tennessee's business community. Today, the Tennessee Supreme Court designated Chancellor Patricia Head Moskal as an alternate judge for the Business Court Docket Pilot Project, currently handled by Chancellor Anne C. Martin. Chancellor Moskal has extensive first-hand knowledge of the business court pilot project, having chaired the statewide Business Court Docket Advisory Commission (BCDAC), which studies the future of the docket and how it can be expanded to better serve the business and legal communities across the state. Before taking the bench, Chancellor Moskal had over 30 years of private practice experience, much of it focused on complex business cases.
"I fully support the mission of the Business Court Docket Pilot Project and I am honored to join the team," Chancellor Moskal said. "This is a great tool for Tennessee businesses, who need efficient and predictable resolutions to complex conflicts."
The Business Court Docket Pilot was originally established by Supreme Court order in 2015. Since its founding, over 150 cases have requested transfer to the specialized docket, with litigants ranging from large national companies to small businesses. The pilot project has developed a body of corporate and commercial jurisprudence covering business topics ranging from shareholder derivative suits to business dissolutions to trade secrets to intellectual property disputes. Litigants included professional teams, high tech, healthcare, and music industry leaders.
"Even in the covid pandemic, these streamlined processes and use of remote technology will assist Tennessee businesses in resolving disputes efficiently and allowing employers to get back to business, not only for their employees, but also for our entire state's economy," stated Chancellor Martin. "We also look forward to entities outside of Davidson County utilizing our business docket in larger numbers as we remain largely online."
The Tennessee Supreme Court has also appointed three new members to the Business Court Docket Advisory Commission (BCDAC), one from each of the state's Grand Divisions. Dwight E. Tarwater, a partner at Paine Tarwater Bickers, LLP in Knoxville, is a seasoned litigator with extensive and wide-ranging trial and appellate experience in Tennessee, representing Fortune 500 companies throughout the nation. He also served as general counsel to Governor Bill Haslam from 2014-2019. Brigid Carpenter is the managing shareholder of Baker Donelson's Nashville office, and is an experienced trial attorney with a practice that includes the prosecution and defense of commercial disputes. Shea Wellford with Martin Tate in Memphis represents large and small businesses, financial institutions, and individuals in complex civil litigation.
"The Business Court Docket Pilot Project continues to grow and produce a robust body of well-defined, up-to-date business law for the state," said Bill Tate, interim chair of the BCDAC and a founding member at Howard Tate in Nashville. "The new members are the perfect additions to the Commission and will ensure the project evolves and reaches every corner of the state. This project is essential to the state's healthy economy and its ability to attract and keep businesses."
Outgoing members of the board include Scott D. Carey, a shareholder at Baker Donelson in Nashville, and Jef Feibelman, a member at Burch, Porter & Johnson in Memphis.
Also currently on the BCDAC are: Celeste H. Herbert of Herbert, Meadows & Wall in Knoxville; David A. Golden, formerly of Eastman Chemical Company in Kingsport; Charles T. Tuggle, Jr. of First Horizon National Corporation in Memphis; and Tim Warnock of Riley Warnock & Jacobson PLC in Nashville.
Tennessee's business docket pilot project has been so successful that in 2018 the State Justice Institute awarded a grant to the Administrative Office of the Courts to assist other states in the establishment of a specialist docket for commercial matters. Seasoned business court judges and administrators from eight states along with the National Center for State Courts studied various courts and created a sample guide for launching business court dockets.
AOC Director Deborah Taylor Tate has presented nationally noting "The curriculum and faculty guide are a "how-to" for any state or local court setting up commercial court pilot." Recognizing each jurisdiction is different, the program addresses various pitfalls and strategies learned from across the nation, allowing any state, regardless of idiosyncrasies, to use this curriculum and guide to establish and manage business courts more efficiently and effectively.
"We have already had great interest from other states in utilizing this blueprint and are happy for others to build upon our success here in Tennessee," Taylor Tate said.


ABS-CBNNews.com reports that boxing champ and Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao bought a P25-million yacht as a "Christmas gift to his family."The "fully-furnished" vessel was blessed by a priest on Wednesday, December 21. The report noted that Pacquiao's new purchase is considered the "Ferrari of yachts."
According to the report, the Italian-made yacht is named "Sarangani's Pride." It also "carries three jet skis (worth P1 million each) and it can travel from Sarangani to Manila in a day-and-a-half."
Pacquiao further revealed that the posh yacht is his "surprise treat to his family following his successful bout against Mexican champion Juan Manuel Marquez last November 12." His wife, Jinkee, added that they had been "dreaming of owning a yacht for sometime now." She said, "Andaming blessing na dumating. Atsaka 'yung yate, iniisip lang namin dati na, 'Kelan kaya kami magkakaroon ng ganyan?' Tapos ngayon, eto na (We've gotten so many blessings. And then the yacht, we asked ourselves before, 'When are we going to have one?' Now, it's here)."


Labor has promised to provide free vaccinations to every Canberra baby if re-elected, as it attempts to keep the focus of its early campaign on health.
The meningococcal B vaccinations would be made free for every baby under Labor's proposal, which has been costed at $12.3 million over four years.
Labor will give free meningococcal B vaccinations to every baby in Canberra if re-elected.
Meningococcal can kill up to one in 10 of those who contract the illness, according to federal Department of Health figures, while one in 30 survivors suffer severe skin scarring, loss of limbs or brain damage.
Meningococcal B and C infections are preventable through vaccination, and the C vaccine is free under the National Immunisation Program.
The meningococcal B vaccination, however, must be bought, and Labor says the costs can be high. It is roughly $150 per dose, according to the Melbourne Vaccine Education Centre.
Providing the vaccine for free would "form an important plank of Labor's preventative health strategy", the party said.
It has also announced it would expand its healthy weight initiative, and plans to take the "It's your move" program to more high schools in the ACT if re-elected.
Labor will also continue the roll out of free water refill stations across the ACT.
It is expected to make further health-related announcements on Tuesday.
The vaccination initiative continues a string of health-related promises made by Labor in the past week, the most notable of which is its planned $650 million upgrade to the Canberra Hospital.
There have also been announcements on support for stroke victims, boosts to nurse training and staffing, a new centre for Indigenous healthcare, bulk-billing grants and new walk-in centres for Gungahlin and Weston Creek.
The Liberals have made significant commitments to health.
They have pledged a $395 million rebuild of Canberra Hospital, satellite hospitals in Tuggeranong and Gungahlin, 52 new nurses at Canberra Hospital and 10 new social workers and design work for a new building for Winnunga Nimmityjah Aboriginal Health Service.

1- What is the difference between MHz and GHz?
1 megahertz (MHz) = 1 000 000 Hertz
1 gigahertz (GHz) = 1 000 000 000 Hertz
A Hertz is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units
1 hertz = 1 cycle per second
1 cycle = 1 wave length
1 cycle = period (T)
2- Do the waves go around obstacles like houses?
No, radio waves do not go around obstacles and they do not travel by following little paths in the air as shown in some illustrations. Radio waves move like the waves created when a pebble is tossed into calm water.
The waves:
Are totally reflected (light in a mirror) or partially reflected (light going through a window);
Are absorbed (the heat of the hood of a car in the sun or food in a microwave oven);
Pass through some materials (TV programs captured using the "rabbit ear" antenna in your living room).
Even if the source of emission is outside the house (e.g., smart meters, cellphone towers, etc.), people inside are still exposed to them. Cellphones work inside your house because the radio waves come in from outside. The level of penetration depends on what your house is made of.
In this regard, please read the charts in « Radiofrequency attenuation based on construction materials » in the "Documents" section.
3- Do radiofrequencies move in a straight line?
No. The way that radio waves disperse in the air is highly dependent on the features of the antenna emitting them, but they never travel in little straight paths through the air. They move more like the waves created when you drop a stone into the water, except in 3D. Imagine a spherical loudspeaker. It emits sounds in all directions. This is exactly how radio waves are emitted by networked or smart meters.
The radio waves are emitted in all directions and they can penetrate everything around them.
4- Do the walls of my house protect me from radiofrequencies coming from outside?
Yes and no! It all depends on what your house is made of. Brick does not provide very good protection. Glass and gyproc provide none at all! But concrete provides partial protection. Either way, if your cellphone is working inside your house, it means that radiofrequencies are getting in.
That means you are exposed to the radio waves of your networked or smart meter and those of your neighbours.
Please read the charts in « Radiofrequency attenuation based on construction materials » in the "Documents" section.
5- Does distance have an impact on the amount of radiation I receive?
Yes, a very significant impact. The intensity of any electromagnetic field diminishes as you get farther from the source generating it.
Take a smart meter that emits a power density of 45,000 μW/m2 at a distance of 1 m. At 2 m from the meter, the power density is 11,250 μW/m2. It is only at 67 m that the power density is reduced to 10 μW/m2, the maximum acceptable exposure according to the Institute of Building Biology (see link).
If you install a Smart Meter SafeGuard on that meter, however, its attenuation capacity reduces the power density to 450 μW/m2 at 1 m. To get to an exposure of under 10 μW/m2, you only need to move 7 m away.
We encourage you to look at the «Radiation Intensity as a Function of Distance» charts in the "Documents" section.«Documents».
Click to consult The Building Biology Evaluation Guidelines 2015.
6- What is the difference between radiofrequencies and microwaves?
The dictionary defines radiofrequency as the frequency of a radioelectric wave (or radio wave).
As for "microwaves," according to Wikipedia, they are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from one meter to one millimeter and frequencies between 300 MHz (100 cm) and 300 GHz (0.1 cm).
WiFi, Bluetooth, wireless phones (DECT), Wimax, cellphones and microwave ovens all use waves of these lengths and frequencies.
Right now, networked and smart meters emit waves in the range of 900 MHz (in other words, microwaves). At some point in the future, the WiFi circuit on the meters will be activated.

Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron, and answer the question that follows: Yet deeper than character, or even place, is another concept: voice. More than any other doorway to the imagination, I find this one the trickiest to open—and the hardest to close. For a character's true voice is heard, its tones, cadences, and ideas are long remembered. The ancients [people from ancient history] used anima, in fact, to describe breath as well as soul. That is wholly appropriate, for in the breath—the voice—of a character lies its essential spirit. If the writer can truly hear the voice of a character, so will the reader. Which phrase explicitly states the author's attitude about voice? a.It is the trickiest door to open. b.The ancients invented it. c.Only the writer hears it. d.The reader will always hear it.
A historian is interested in learning about the ancient Roman Colosseum, an arena where trained fighters battled one another for spectators' entertainment.

If the historian wanted to use contextualization to better understand the Colosseum, which of the following actions would he take? A.Study ancient Roman culture to learn more about Roman attitudes toward violence and slavery B.Write an article expressing his point of view that no human could ever be entertained by killing C.Search for primary source records to learn how many slaves were killed in the Colosseum D.Consult secondary sources to determine if most Colosseum gladiators were slaves

Korean EV Battery Manufacturers are in Fierce Competition
Pouch-type or Cylindrical Type?
Samsung SDI and LG Chem are rather indifferent to each other as they are working on different types of electric vehicle (EV) battery
Samsung SDI announced on September 12 that it exhibited a multifunctional battery pack at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show and the battery pack allows the capacity of an electric vehicle (EV) battery to be freely adjusted. According to the company, the pack allows a premium car to cover a distance of 600 km to 700 km when it has 20 modules, a non-premium car can cover a distance of 300 km with the number of the modules in the pack reduced to 10 to 12, and automakers using the battery pack can design vehicles covering different distances with the single pack.
Early this year, Samsung SDI unveiled an expandable module as well. The expandable module can carry up to 24 cells whereas a general EV battery module can have 12 or so cells. The former's energy capacity reaches 6 kWh to 8 kWh.
In the meantime, LG Chem and SK Innovation are concentrating on an increase in cell capacity. Each of the largest and third-largest EV battery manufacturers in South Korea is claiming that it started the mass production of NCM 811 batteries ahead of the other.
This type of battery has a nickel-cobalt-manganese ratio of 8:1:1 with the ratio of nickel increased from 60% to 80% and the ratio of cobalt reduced from 20% to 10%. The higher the ratio of nickel becomes, the higher the energy density of the battery. Then, the performance of the battery is improved and its price can be lowered based on the less use of cobalt, which is relatively expensive. This is why NCM 811 is regarded as a key part of third-generation batteries, which allow an EV to cover a distance of at least 500 km after fully charged.
SK Innovation announced on August 30 that it initiated the mass production of NCM 811 batteries for the first time in South Korea. It added that it would initiate the supply of the batteries for use in energy storage systems in December this year and the supply of the batteries for use in EVs in the third quarter of next year. LG Chem, however, claimed that it started the manufacturing of batteries of the same type ahead of SK Innovation. "You will see vehicles equipped with our NCM 811 batteries next year," LG Chem president Lee Woong-beom said at a recent press conference with reporters.
EV batteries are broadly divided into prismatic, pouch-type, and cylindrical batteries. A prismatic battery has the shape of a flat metal can, is highly durable and has a low cost although it is heavy in weight. A pouch-type battery is light in weight and can have various shapes based on the ease of processing although it is expensive. Tesla uses cylindrical batteries supplied by Panasonic.
LG Chem and Samsung SDI are rather indifferent to each other as they are working on different types. In fact, Samsung SDI, the second-largest in the South Korean EV battery industry, is already using NCM 811 in small cells and LG Chem is capable of producing multifunctional battery packs on its own. It is SK Innovation that bothers LG Chem. Both of them are working on pouch-type batteries. From 2011 to 2014, they were engaged in litigation over separation membrane manufacturing technology.
SK Innovation is boosting its investment in the industry these days. It is planning to increase its production capacity to at least 10 GWh before the end of 2020 and raise its global market share to at least 10% and 30% by 2020 and 2025, respectively. In the first half of this year, LG Chem represented 12.3% of the global EV battery market to come in second while Samsung SDI came in fifth with a market share of 6.4%. SK Innovation's share was less than 1.0%.
S. Korea EV Market is Entering a Stage of Popularization

"Our son, Ryne George Dudley, was born at 25 weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital. It's hard to believe it's already been five years since we were there! Ryne was born on Aug. 5, 2013, and weighed 1lb. 11.5 oz. Our stay totaled 97 days, with Ryne going home just before his actual due date in November. The NICU really did become our home, and the staff our family.
Everyone went above and beyond to help us. The friendliness of the staff and the genuine care for our son made our 97-day stay as good as it could be. We wouldn't have traded it for anywhere - or anyone - else.
Our experience with UI Stead Family Children's Hospital was, in one word, incredible. From the very moment we were admitted to the day we went home with Ryne, we were treated like family. Jessica Wallace was an incredible nurse to meet at the onset of our stay, and made us feel welcome and comfortable during a stressful and scary period in our lives.
No question was treated as a bad one, and we felt as though we were always informed. When we learned that one of the members of our care team had been a preemie himself, it gave us a lot of hope. We're so thankful for our team that included nurses Linsey Durst, Amie Deegan, Michael Henderson, and Jessica Jones as well as doctors Glenda Rabe, John Dagle, and Robert Roghair.
I don't feel there was ever a moment that we were left out of our stay or the process we went through. For 97 days we had the best care anyone could receive, and to this day we recommend the NICU to anyone we know who may go through an experience similar to ours. We miss our staff daily, and return each year to celebrate Ryne's birthday with them. If it wasn't for them - and we mean this - our son wouldn't be who he is today. We owe them so much.
There is no other place that I'd choose over the NICU at UI Stead Family Children's Hospital. We were constantly connected and part of the process. If we had any questions, we felt they were answered and we were informed. I don't know why anyone would go anywhere else."
