Under the Manual of Arms from 1764, the Georgia Continentals lacked uniformity and discipline. The Continentals changed to Von Steuben's manual in 1777 and it improved their combat effectiveness. Steuben’s hands-on style of training helped the army become a more skillful fighting force and at the same time gave the army new life. Von Steuben’s manual stream lines the 1764 Manuel to make the doctrine more effective and efficient. The Georgia Continentals utilized three types of infantry.…
In Farm Shares Offer Local Produce Without the Labor by April Crehan, it is known that New England is not the best land to farm because of the winter. However the owner of Siena Farms, Chris Kurth, grows his crops in Concord and Sudbury. Kurth’s company goal was to have customers be able to eat locally in a New England farm all year round. Despite having challenges such as “clearing off plastic hoop greenhouses and dealing with losing many more substantial structures that collapsed under the weight of snow and ice” during the winter. The shareholders of the (Community Supported Agriculture) CSA pay farmers weekly or monthly in return of “part of the farm’s bounty of products.…

A defining characteristic of being human, in the modern age in particular, is the sense of dominance over the natural world, but VanderMeer eliminates that factor of superiority with Area X. Despite being well armed with assault rifles and handguns, the people fed to the environment face almost certain doom. Area X consumes people, no one has really been able to come back, at least “not really” (VanderMeer 135). The environment of Area X triumphs over humans, contrary to the “world beyond which we have changed so much” (VanderMeer 197). Civilization has tarnished and brutalized the natural world, however, even though its very existence, Area X defies the human imperative to control and destroy. In this particular way, the author is able to…
Jeff Vandermeer creates an obscure and intricate ecological system in his 2014 novel Annihilation, and names it Area X. The main character, a female biologist, joins an expedition to investigate this expanding and changing zone, and finds out “the Event,” which appears that humankind will eventually be transformed into other organisms in Area X, is “arriving like a kind of wave” (190). Many critics see Annihilation as an allegory for humanity’s situation in the face of a rapidly changing environment, whose essence shares a deep connection with the environmental philosopher Timothy Morton’s ecological discourse on “hyperobject,” -- a refined term to describe long-lasting, “super high-dimensional,” and inexplicable things massively distributed in time and space, which requires humans’ obligation and instant action (2). The correlation between the biologist’s initiative and Area X as a hyperobject in the Annihilation will serve as a…
Scientists believe that stars are made of mostly gas, and this gas is made up of many atoms. In the star, the atoms in the gas bang into each other and give off different light depending on the type of atoms. This light from stars enables scientists to figure out the type and amount of atoms they are made of. Knowing the composition of the stars, we can guess how they were formed. Therefore we can see that stars are just atoms (hydrogen) hitting each other producing light.…

Conducting a cost-benefit analysis involves a comparison of a project’s total cost and the aggregate benefits of the beneficiary population. In the aggregation process of benefits estimates, individual-level estimates – such as the sample mean or median willingness to pay WTP – are extrapolated to those population (Morrison, 2000; Bateman et al., 2006). This is a common practice, especially within choice experiments’ literature (CE) (Kopp et al., 1997; Breidert et al., 2006). The issue raised by this procedure is the potential bias in the estimates of aggregate values calculated based on estimates from an unrepresentative and/or a small sample.…
