Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Freemasons. It needs to be at least 750 words.

In a matter of three decades, the Masonic fraternity had multiplied all over the Old World and the New World colonies. Freemasonry particularly became popular in the colonies of America. Great men in American history, such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere and Joseph Warren, became members of the fraternity. Other illustrious Masonic members who participated in the founding of America were John Paul Jones, Lafayette, Nathanael Greene and John Hancock. Chief Justice John Marshall, who was also a Mason, formed the Supreme Court into its modern structure (York 1993).

Majority of the Masonic historians and scholars agree that Freemasonry, in its present structure, perhaps developed as an accessory from stonemasons from the Middle Ages through the period until the formation of the Operative Stone Masons Guilds. However, it is still uncertain how or when the conversion occurred from Operative Guild Free-Stone Masonry to scholarly Speculative Freemasonry or those making use of tools of stonemasons, garments and practices as symbolic supports to teach their principles, even though Scottish Lodge Kilwinnings documentations confirming admitted non Operatives by just about 1672 and several Lodges in England were completely non Operative at least by 1646, the time of Elias Ashmole (Jacob 1991).

Stonemasons are remarkable. They acquired extraordinary skills to construct the cathedrals, castles and the essential sculpted forms and adornments ordered of their masters. This kind of skill must have looked like almost supernatural to the huge uneducated masses. They were evidently the cream of the crop of the labor force, possessed secret practices and symbols and would have fascinated and attracted several of the most skilled non-educated enlistments (Doan 1993). Though, provided with the intricacy and the focus on morality of the different

David Reynolds’ narrative in the book catches the attention of reader easily as like fictional account and shed lights on the complex workings of statesmanship, foreign policy and consensus building in critical historical junctures. The Great Shift from Isolationism to Interventionism As a methodology, to understand the origins of Second World War, Reynolds critically examines the events and political process within the United States in the proceeding years of America becoming a party in the war. According to the author, the events from 1938 to 1941 discussed in the book have profound impacts on three counts: the policies of the Roosevelt government, the way Americans perceives world affairs, and the foreign policy precedents for the post World War II world. The major change occurred in this period was at the realm of foreign policy, especially towards the Europe in general and the Britain in particular. As a great statesman, Roosevelt overcome the hold of New Deal coalition in America which had already become a thing of past. Reynolds characteristically asserts that “American perceptions of a cohesive totalitarian plot helped ease the United States into world war. But the reality of Axis divergence helped ensure eventual Allied victory” (170). And, the whole credit goes to Franklin Roosevelt as he helped the consolidation of this shift in the attitude of the American people and policy makers. Foreign aid too became central to the foreign policy narrative of the United States, which still governs the core thinking of American foreign policy makers. The process of transition that eagerly pursued by Roosevelt from isolationism to interventionism was further assisted by the increasing German presence in the Atlantic Ocean. As a resistance to it, Roosevelt could further his actual war efforts in the Atlantic against the Germans. America’s undeclared naval war against the Germans in the Atlantic was, according to Reynolds, the result of Roosevelt’s frantic search for “epochal attitude change’ of the American people from strict hemispheric concerns to closely defined global engagements (26). He beautifully traces the way Roosevelt create the discourse on the necessity for participation in the Second World War. From the time of Operation Barbarossa, the world war became a recurrent theme in the speeches of Roosevelt. Reynolds strongly held the view that “arguably the turning point in this story was the battle Franklin Roosevelt waged against the ‘isolationists’ before Pearl Harbor, when he redefined American security in global terms and promulgated a bipolar, Manichean view of the struggle between democracy and totalitarianism. Cold War institutions such as a peacetime draft, the ‘military-industrial complex’, and even the ‘imperial presidency’ can be said to have their roots in 1940-I” (83). What made the United State into isolation were primarily the Great Depression of 1920s and 30s. The Neutrality Act passed by the congress itself is a proof to it. What made America to come out of it was the policies of the Roosevelt government and the consensus he impregnated into the American political establishment. Roosevelt’s New Deal policy was checked and countered by the conservatives from the very beginning. It was over the foreign policy, the ruling coalition found much of its tensions and fractures.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on From the different perspectives of 1) cultural idealists and 2) cultural materialists, what kind of culture is important, valuable and worthy of our attention, and why. It needs to be at least 1500 words.

While in cultural idealism, a lot of focus is directed towards human ideas in the process of understanding culture. Cultural idealists and cultural materialists explain human phenomenon differently. In particular, an idealist will have a different explanation from a materialist on what motivates a human being. Culture materialism is an improvement of the Marxist theory of materialism. This paper is a discussion from the different perspectives of cultural idealists and cultural materialists what kind of culture is important, valuable and worthy of our attention and why.

Culture idealists base mind, spirit and ideas as the cornerstones of understanding human culture. Some philosophers who were associated with the formulation of cultural idealism are the Greek philosopher Plato, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Immanuel Kant. Idealists continue to use intangible ideas such as. beliefs, conceptions and values in emphasizing the aspect of culture. In idealism, divine and supernatural forces exist, and these are perceived by mind and spirit. Cultural idealists express that human action, and in this case, culture is derived from ideas. In the mind of a cultural idealist, religious beliefs and moral values are the greatest drivers of human action, which later transforms into cultural practices (Haviland et al, 2010: p 67).

In the opinion of cultural idealists, culture primarily originates from the mind and material substances have no basis. Idealists are religious in nature and believe that God, ethics and moral have roles to play in human culture. Human culture is understood better by analyzing what people think, speak, imagine, feel in relation to the immediate environment that they live. A lot of focus, in an idealist perspective, is primarily centered on superstructure that is ideas and value (Haviland et al, 2010: p 68). Cultural idealist perspective is further exampled in. postmodernism, structuralism, psychological

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on From the Top at Carnegie Hall. It needs to be at least 250 words.

“We learn that no matter how far from home we are, we always have a home in the things we love”. These are the lines that struck me in the episode. Music is where the heart is. The three young musicians who have their own stories of ups and downs led them where they are right now. In the case of Ronald Joseph for instance, his terrible experience from Hurricane Katrina did not stop him from pursuing his delight. Like what his teacher said, “You owe it to Katrina”. Oftentimes, the bad things in life are the process of something good that is about to come. For the second part of the episode, 17-year old violist Allyson Tomsky had a different means of showing her enthusiasm. Her love for both music and for her hometown greatly contributed in becoming who she really is. Playing in the streets of New York as one of her practices is indeed a unique way of showing and sharing the talent that she has. Lastly is 14-year old Jazz singer, Nikki Yanofsky who at a very young age possessed a very powerful voice and a great confidence toward the thing that she loved. This episode portrayed only but one thing, that as long as we love what we do, we are happy and we’ll always be contented. There will always be the sense of fulfillment no matter what the odds are. Another episode, Family Ties revealed the role of family in shaping and building the vision of our youth.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Fruit content of fruit juice and apple juice content of cider using DNA methodology. It needs to be at least 2000 words.

The PCR –RFLP method was used for the analysis of the different fruits in the fruit juice. The PCR heteroduplex system was successfully applied to the LOC and was found to show greater sensitivity for the identification of the fruit juices. After this process, random reannealing of the amplified DNA was done based on Hardy- Weinberg law. The heteroduplexes obtained from these studies have proved that the heteroduplexes were underestimated at the lab-on-a-chip method. The differential data interpretation is done to obtain better results. (Scott and Knight 2009).

DNA profiling method was developed for the fruit samples. Different DNA extraction methods were practiced for the isolation of the genomic DNA from the fresh fruits. Some of the DNA extraction methods are CTAB- based DNA extraction method and some kits such as Nucleon Phytopure plant DNA Extraction kit, DNeasy Plant mini kit and G2 buffer & Genomic –tip 20/G kits can be used for the extraction of the DNA from the given fruit juices. SSR markers are used for the identification of the DNA from the given samples. The SSR analysis was able to reveal that the genotypes were the same for the dried fruits and the fresh juices. The DNA samples obtained from the canned and processes foods will be very small of 500 bp. (Yamamoto et al. 2006).

These DNA samples can be easily amplified using the high quality primers. In the pear fruit DNA sequence there are 15 SSR sequences and among them 9 SSR markers were obtained from the fruit juice containing pear. The reason for this could be that the DNA obtained from the fruit juices were around 150 base pairs and they were very small for amplification. The DNA profiling and the cultivar methods were found to be very useful for the identification of the DNA of the fruits from the fruit juices. (Yamamoto et al. 2006).

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on G.Handel Oratorios. It needs to be at least 250 words.

Hereditary is portrayed by Belshazzar as a failure in today’s world. Democracy should be embraced and people should elect leaders of their choice. People should not ascend in to power because they are fond in the royal family line.

Belshazzar was king on the night Babylonian kingdom fell. The Persians came and conquered, and He was killed on the same night. The character had sat on the throne for two years. Poor leadership among governments leads to blood shed. People want to ascend to power using the wrong formula. This is made to protect their interest, without considering the needs of the people. Therefore, such governments fail in economic growth, rule of law, social justice, and democracy among many others

Nitocris as a queen has been identified as a dominant ruler as female character. . It is suggested that this should be Belshazzar’s mother. The power of a woman in royal kingdoms is shown through this character. She sang a song which had a crushing effect on Belshazzar (Lang 435). However, their evils actions become a thorn in their own flesh. The king ordered that no one should be allowed to enter the place. With that order to the door keepers, the king himself became ill and left the place. By his own order he was killed by Cyrus and

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Gambling and crime. It needs to be at least 2250 words.

The gambling industry entices people to try gambling in order to get them hooked and become addicted and the industry knows full well the consequences of an addiction.

A former lawyer of John Ascuagas “Nugget” embezzled $3 million for his gambling habit and in another case, the accountant of a doctors clinic stole some $2.3 million from her employer to feed her habit of buying lottery tickets, as much $6,000 per day. She had pleaded guilty and was charged with a second-degree grand larceny. As it becomes an addiction, some decent, reasonable, respectable and rational people are really tempted to steal money and also commit other far more serious crimes like murder for their gambling addictions.

Gambling involves taking the odds or probability of a certain outcome to be occurring. Gambling can take many forms such as horse racing, card games, table games, slot machines, dog racing, sports betting (boxing, basketball, soccer, etc.) and even on the Internet. Some forms of gambling are considered tame or mild in nature such as sweepstakes, lotteries and bingo games because the bet amounts are not very large although prizes can get very big. There are warning signs of a gambling addiction and people should be made aware of them.

Planning a future action is a healthy attitude. This is the same principle involved when businessmen and investors go into business in order to earn money. This speculative attitude generates investments and jobs such as in the form of insurance contracts (fire, auto, marine, flood, etc.), life annuities and the modern and very complex forms of contracts like financial derivatives and stock options. The futures market in agricultural commodities is a very good example of gambling based on speculation but minimizing the risks involved.

However, this paper will explore and discuss the troubling issues associated with types of gambling in the strict sense of the word. This paper looks at the problems generated by the uncontrolled urge

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Game and Drama Theories. It needs to be at least 750 words.

The players define the game by choosing their preferences and beliefs concerning their opportunities. Games are the only human interactions with fixed beliefs and preferences. The rules of the game fix opportunities and preferences. Other human interactions don’t have fixed rules. In real life, people try to achieve their interests competitively, just like in a game (Kincaid, 2002). In some games, the winner takes all the prizes, because they are very competitive with only one winner. Other games require cooperation strategies among players to allow a player to advance. The concept and techniques are similar in real life. In times of hostility, rivals unite with a common interest to defend themselves against a common enemy. For example, during the cold war, Moscow and Washington united to avert the nuclear war despite being enemies.

The theory gives analytical tools to analyze strategic interactions among people. It uses simple, numerical models to analyze complex social issues and relations. It illustrates the risks involved in people’s cooperation with distrustful others. The lessons learnt from a game are applicable to numerous social interactions. The games have five elements that simulate real life situations. Players are a basic element for decision making (Howard, 2009). Strategies are used by players to assert their position while rules govern the game. Outcomes result from choices that players make while playoffs accrue to each player in accordance with each possible outcome. The games assume that each player will use strategies that will avail the best outcome to him.

It is very useful in solving societal conflicts and stalemates especially through cooperation to defeat a common enemy/crisis. For example, intercultural conflicts can be solved through cooperation. When the society faces a common problem such as a security threat from an external force, everyone is at risk.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Gay in the military. It needs to be at least 750 words.

There has been a long history of the gays serving in the army and there have been many political reforms associated with this issue. It has been observed that the confidence or tempo of the military is not affected by the gays serving in the armed forces.

The U.S. military prohibited the homosexuals to serve in army in 1916 in the Articles of War. However, a full-fledged ban was enforced in the World War II. After this historical ban, recruits were properly analyzed and observed for signs of homosexuality before being selected for the Army, Navy and Selective Service System. An estimated 4,000 gays who applied were rejected due to their sexual orientation. Lesbians were mostly accepted because asking women about their sexual orientation also violated the standards of behavior and conduct. During 1992, the presidential campaign “Don’t ask, don’t tell” was initiated by Bill Clinton and claimed to lift this ban. However, this campaign was opposed severely by senior military personals and also the American public. When the attempts failed, the Congress passed a law that gays could serve in army as long as they kept quiet about their sexual orientation. The campaign formally known as the Military Eligibility Act of 1993 was not completely followed and investigations about the homosexuality were still carried out by the military recruitment services. Since 1994, 12,000 gays were dismissed (Webley 2010). The history of gays in the military indicates that many sincere efforts were put up by the politicians to lift this ban. However these efforts were always encountered with opposition not only by the military services but also by the American public.

When the issues like increasing the size of the armed forces was put forward by President Bush in 2007, the issue of gays serving in military was brought up again in the form of a heated argument. The policy “Don’t ask, don’t tell” is a huge

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Gear Smartwatch. It needs to be at least 750 words.

It uses technique of sophisticated processing in order to find solutions of various sophisticated tasks just by using this small watch. Additionally, the feature of voice memos were also build in Gear smart watch, through a built-in speaker, that enables the owner to even answer the calls just by using their wrist and operate the gadget via voice commands. Additionally, it was a full-color work with the platform of Android sized in the fashion of an old calculator watch. Correspondingly, it runs the application, which was developed by Samsung as well as the third-party partners. During the year 2014 company replaced the Gear operating system with Tizen (Brewis, 2014).

Gear was not able to withstand the expectation of the user and the security side of Gear with high confidentiality in term of exchanging the data Smartphone due to the issue of vulnerability. The most obvious reason of vulnerability issue in the gadget was due to its feature of typical ‘companion gadget’, which is worthless without the Smartphone as it has to be connected via Bluetooth. The people who turned up for the Gear will be likely to experience the features of Smartphone messaging, Personal Information Manager (PIM) and other apps just in the wrist. Correspondingly, in the current scenario the smart watch only works with the help of Samsungs Note Smartphone, the Note 3. With the help of Gear smart watch wireless communication can only be possible through using the Bluetooth connectivity feature, which led to risk of unauthorized uses.
