Figure 1. Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb. Grouping of Pandan leaves are howl Kingdom:Â Plantae Subkingdom:Â Tracheobionta Super Division: Spermathophyta Division: Magnoliophyta Class:Â Liliopsida Subclass:Â Arecidae Ordo:Â Pandanales Famili:Â Pandanaceae Genus:Â Pandanus Species:Â Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb.

Numerous individuals said that pandan leaves are vanilla of the east since it is normally utilized in a few nourishments with the vanilla like fragrance (Comax Flavors, 2011). The variety name Pandanus is gotten from the Indonesian name of the tree, pandan.

The appropriation of pandan leaves is found over Southern India, the Southeast Asia peninsular, Indonesia and Western New Guinea (Wongpornchai, 2004). The plants develop in clusters and have meager and sharp leaves at the edge where the structure resembles blade, fragrant smell. Pandan leaves, ordinarily known as pandan, are regularly used to give an invigorating, fragrant flavor to both sweet and exquisite South-East-Asian dishes (rice, chicken, jams, drinks, puddings, custard or desserts). Pandan leaves are additionally utilized in cooking standard non-fragrant rice to mirror the more costly sweet-smelling Basmati and Jasmine rices (Nor, Mohamed, Idris, Ismail, 2008). Since the kind of pandan leaves is like that controlled by some well known sweet-smelling rice assortments, the leaves regularly discover their way into the rice pot to improve the fragrance of lesser rice assortments. By expanding the fragrance in lesser rice assortments, it can build the shopper acknowledgment by improve the flavor observation in client where the non-sweet-smelling rice has comparative flavor with the sweet-smelling rice for example Basmati and Jasmine rice. Flavor observation is fascinating subject. The kind of food is at last a result of the mind. The cerebrum joins tangible data from taste, smell and contact to produce our observation flavor, and how it does this is right now a hotly debated issue in brain research and neuroscience (Stevenson Richard, 2013). The investigation of the system of significant flavor during cooking rice is very intricate, where the ingestion of significant flavor by rice in both ideal and abundance water cooking was exceptionally subject to the nearness of water, dampness substance of rice, water to rice proportion, starch gelatinization process just as temperature and time of cooking (Yahya, 2011). Rice grains with the popcorn like aroma are extremely well known among a few Asian nations. Specifically, Basmati in India and Pakistan; Khao Dawk Mali 105 in Thaliand, Pandan rice in Indonesia are extremely famous (Bryant McClung, 2011; Kawakami et al., 2009). These fragrant rice are more costly and furthermore more significant than non sweet-smelling one. Since fragrant rice is over the top expensive and pandan leaves that have sweet-smelling rice like flavor. These days, since the enthusiasm of client flavor organizations have come out with various mimetic rice flavor oils. 2-Acetylpyroline (2 ACPY) as one of the principle mixes in rice additionally will give the popcorn like smell like scent (F. Yahya, Fryer, Bakalis, 2011). Hence, these days the exemplified procedure of pandan smell had been created. Shower drying is the most well-known and financially savvy approach to perform exemplification of flavors. The epitomized kind of pandan leaves by utilizing gum Arabic and maltodext rin had been created (Kawakami et al., 2009). Pandan leaf remove has been utilized for food ventures as color materials, and furthermore soya drink and coconut milk. As a customary home grown this leaves are commonly utilized for conventional medication particularly to experience the typhus disease in Indonesia (Roosita, Kusharto, Sekiyama, Fachrurozi, Ohtsuka, 2008).

Verdant vegetables are supplements thick sources.

These days pandan leaves have been examined additionally as waste treatment. The exhibition of removed pandan leaves was explored towards treatment of textille wastewater by utilizing flocullation process (Ngadi, N. , Yusoff, 2013). This give such a promissing to build up a few procedure by utilizing regular source for example pandan leaves for a few purposes. Carotenoids The shade of food is maybe the main trait that buyers survey while deciding the quality and presence of an item, and along these lines conditions its adequacy. Shading turns into a proportion of value and furthermore a sign of decay. In excess of 700 normally happening carotenoids have been recognized (Britton et al., 2004). Carotenoids are generally dispersed though C40 isoprenoid shades with polyene affixes contain up to 15 conjugated twofold bonds. They outfit blossoms and natural products with unmistakable hues (e.g., yellow, orange, and red), which can pull in pollinators Moreover carotenoids assume significant jobs in photosynthesis, light reaping, and anticipation of photooxidative harm (Britton et al., 2004). Carotenoids can be delegated carotenes (sans oxygen; e.g ÃŽ ²-carotene) and xanthophylls (oxygen-containing; for example lutein, zeaxanthin, neoxanthin, violaxanthin, and antheraxanthin (Fig. 2). Fig. 2. Synthetic structures of chosen carotenoids The polyene chain of carotenoids is answerable for the shade of plants and organic products. The length of the chromophore impacts the shading, for instance from the dismal phytoene, through the orange shade of ÃŽ ²-carotene to the red of capsaxanthin (because of the expanding number of twofold bonds). Other than the shading, the polyene chain is liable for the flimsiness against a few ecological components for example oxidation, warmth and light or oxidizing substance (Britton et al., 2004). Carotenoid shades are gathering of bioactive exacerbates that are important to the food researchers, nutritionists and food ventures because of their positive effect on human wellbeing and their financial advantages. Carotenoids are liable for the alluring shade of most foods grown from the ground, having various organic capacities and exercises. A broad number of fa

What the end of the semester does to Conner 2

What the end of the semester does to Conner 2 Hello readers. Happy Holidays to everyone! The term is over and Im happy to be getting lots and lots of sleep in my FULL SIZE (!) bed at home. Almost all of my grades are in and Im also happy to report that I did much better this semester than last (*grin*), so thats a nice feeling. All thats left from last semester is a bunch of pictures that Im about to share. I walked out of my room one day to discover a huge mess. Well, it may have taken a while for the mess to present itself (perspective and all that). But it had finally reached the point where it was worth documenting, so I took a bunch of pictures. And now Im able to show you just what finals week did to the 213 suite. First of all, everyone is always eating and never doing dishes, so the sink looks like that. Second of all, peopleapparently dont have big enough desks, so they spread their study materials all over the counters, like so. Also, since our walls are not made of dry-erase boards, they improvise. This is the wall of 5.12 (organic chemistry) study material, I believe. (Im not a chem person, dont ask me.) And we clearly dont have enough counter space But who wants to talk about how crazy everyone was studying for finals? Theyre over! Lets talk about the good stuff. Right between the end of classes and finals week (known as reading period, which is when were given a couple of days off to study, which we really spend shopping and catching up on sleep, which are both valid uses of our newfound free time, in my humble opinion), is the annual Conner 2 non-denominational politically correct winter festivities dinner, which is so named really just for the fun of it, since it comes complete with its very own Secret Santa tradition that no one ever complains is politically incorrect. Go figure. Please enjoy the following pictures of Conner 2 residents (in varying states of formal attire) enjoying the non-denominational festivities: Chris (our GRT) and David. Rick and Zach. A week before this picture was taken, some people were handing stuff out in front of Building 7 (the main entrance to main campus). This isnt really unusual, and it comes with varying degrees of annoyance. Protesters and activists hand out pamphlets and chant slogans, and sometimes I find myself able to forgive them for what I think are ridiculous opinions based on the cleverness of their slogans. Anyway, on this particular day I was handed one sticker, no strings attached (not even a website to visit, the one time I actually wanted more information) by a guy who explained that they were trying to get people to think about and get involved in public issues. The sticker said My government is a                  , which totally cracked me up. I really thought this was hilarious. Rick was also handed one of these, which he saved in case he ever needed it. Well, he scratched out the a, filled in the blank, and gave it to Adelaide as part of her Secret Santa gift. Anyway, all of that is a really long way of getting to the point, which is that Adelaide is wearing a sticker that says My government is Stephen Harper, because Adelaide is our resident Canadian. Ha. Mason is clearly the only one who has any idea Im taking this picture. Rick is wearing a cheese head, because hes from Wisconsin. I guess. I dont know, I just post pictures on the Internet, ok? Apparently Conner 2 is really into making its residents into caricatures based on their home towns/cities/nations. (Diana and are the resident New Jerseyans and often get asked such things as So when you go home for semester breaks, is it really like that movie Garden State?) I was debating if I wanted to get dressed up or not, and finally gave in to the temptation because Javier wanted to know what I actually looked like when I was dressed up. Adelaide took this picture, and I kind of think she should title it Girl with Fork because that would be both accurate and artistic, and how often do those two coincide? Seriously. Conner 2 has an additional tradition related to our Secret Santa exchange- instead of just writing the recipients name on the gift (how boring would that be!) we instead attach a poem about them. The fun starts when one person who is elected to begin the exchange picks a gift at random, reads the poem, and then everyone else figures out who the poem refers to. As you can imagine, these poems can getcreative? Amusing? Inappropriate for reposting on the Internet? All of the above? ;-) As for the poems, limericks are a popular choice, although this year even included a real-life honest-to-goodness sonnet. No joke. We take our Secret Santa seriously here on Conner 2. For example, Ricks gift was actually 5 or 6 separate items, separately wrapped. After the barbecue chips and wooden dowel, we were all really, really confused, until he finally unwrapped the stuffed penguin. Apparently theres some inside joke that I totally missed (which sadly ruined my full enjoyment of this moment of unveiling) about Rick wanting to know if rotisserie penguin are kosher. Dont ask me, I wasnt there, and I mean it when I say I really have no idea. In another example of Secret Santa hardcoreness, my gift was wrapped in duct tape (to which someone joked how are you going to open it??), a reference to my duct tape fashion constructions for the Anything But Clothes Party. (Seriously, once you post pictures of yourself wearing nothing but duct tape on the Internet, you can NEVER GO BACK. Just remember that. Forget everything I ever told you about college apps- thats my biggest piece of advice). My poem even started In case the packaging didnt give it away Thanks to Adelaide for some of the pictures! Happy Holidays, everyone! What are you guys doing for New Years? (No pressure, Im probably going to invite a friend to sleep over and stay up all night with my sister watching Season 2 of Veronica Mars on DVD, which I just got for Christmas.) Responses to Comments: Anonymous asked: What classes do freshmen take? Although there is a certain amount of freedom, freshmen usually try to knock off as many of the GIRs as they can. (GIRs are General Institute Requirements, which are core classes that everyone needs to graduate.) Its possible to branch out and start with some other subjects, but that can be hard to do first semester since even a lot of the introductory classes within the majors have GIR pre-requisites. The basic track goes like this: Fall semester: 18.01 (Calculus) 8.01 (Mechanics) 3.091 or 5.111 or 5.112 (different flavors of intro chemistry) ??.??? Humanities class of your choice- its best to pick one that has a HASS-D (distribution requirement) and/or CI-H (communications intensive) label, since these are part of the needlessly complex (in my opinion) Humanities requirement Spring semester: 18.02 (Multi-variable calculus) 8.02 (Electricity and Magnetism) 7.013 or 7.014 (different flavors of intro bio- another flavor offered in the fall as 7.012) ??.??? Another humanites class of your choice- again, HASS-Ds and CI-Hs are useful, but by this point youll have a better grasp of the requirements, which will make it easier to know what you should take Depending on what classes you pass out of with AP credit or advanced standing exams, this schedule can look a lot different. This is just one option for a student that didnt test out of anything. If you get credit for 18.01, you could obviously start at 18.02 in the fall. Or you could take chemistry and bio in the fall and wait until the spring for 18.02. Orwell, you get the idea, there are lots of combinations available. The vast majority of freshmen take some calculus, some physics, and some chemistry first semester. And not that many take biology- its an intro class, but since most majors dont require it as a prereq, its certainly not uncommon to see seniors in 7.012, scrambling to fulfill the requirement for graduation. =) Another common freshmen class is 18.03 (differential equations). 18.03 is not a GIR, strictly speaking, but it can satisfy one of the REST elective requirements (restricted electives in science and technologyeven though its a math classgo figure) and its required for some of the more common majors (Courses 2 and 6- mechanical engineering and EECS, respectively- spring to mind). Also, a good portion of freshmen who test out of the intro classes (common ones to skip are 18.01, 18.02, and 8.01) will take an intro class in their major during the spring semester- like 2.001, 6.001, etc. While this can be a great way to get your feet wet in a subject youre not sure you want to major in, its important to remember that its not remotely necessary- if you come into MIT with no AP/transfer/advanced standing credit whatsoever, you can still graduate on time, take a bunch of cool classes, and be sure you wont be made fun of or anything. By sophomore year, most students will be in a similar place and no one will know/remember/care if you tested out of 18.01 or not. Post Tagged #Burton-Conner House

To What Extent Has the Importance of Martin Luther King...

How far has the importance of Martin Luther King been exaggerated? The significance of Martin Luther King’s role during the Civil Rights Movement in the USA has become a matter for debate. In this essay I will examine the importance of his role along with many other factors. Shortly after King graduated with a Doctorates in Theology at the University of Boston, he was instantly involved in the attempts to improve black peoples rights in predominantly the South of America. King was the harbinger of Civil rights and ‘hit the ground running’ with his policies and ways of protests. His non violent strategies - inspired by Ghandi - were the source of his actions and they proved to be very popular. One of his most notable successes was the†¦show more content†¦A further legislation put in to place was in 1957. The Civil Rights Act addressed the situation of voting rights, where only 20% of Black Americans had passed the test in order to vote. Congress passed the act to ensure all Americans could vote and forbade any person from interfering with anyones right to vote, in actuality little was done to enforce the Act, and the situation remained. Though, 3 years later, the Act was amended by requiring local authorities to keep thorough voting records. However, records showed that the acts only increased the number of votes by a dreary 3%. Another legislation put forward was in 1960 when Kennedy won the election, he put forward a controversial notion of a Civil Rights Act; he had showed support in previous years when he supported the Freedom Riders in 1961. But President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 so he could not pass the Act until his successor; Vice President Lyndon Johnson approved the Bill in July next year. The Act marked a defining moment in the struggle for Civil Rights; it outlawed segregation in all areas. In Source A we can see the combined partnership of Johnson and Kennedy, they offered a mixed bag of experience and charisma, which gave a great deal of diversity to American politics, who in the past rarely did anything to do with Civil rights; their policies gained millions of votes from anti-discriminates.

Minsk Towns are like people Free Essays

Towns are like people. Some are rich and influential from their conception; others need to acquire such qualities over centuries. Minsk is an example of the latter though founded as a border fortification in the Polatsk Principality, over its millennial history Minsk has managed to be the predominant centre of power in an appanage, capital of a province and at long last the capital of an independent nation counting 10 million people. We will write a custom essay sample on Minsk: Towns are like people or any similar topic only for you Order Now Well, as Minsk is more that 900 years, it is quite enough to speak about its antiquity. But unfortunately almost all traces of old times are lost. There are practically no ancient buildings in Minsk, but the hero-city tries to keep memory about its past. And nowadays numerous names of the streets and squares, churches remind us not about the stormy past of Minsk, but of our country. And the first place that is worth visiting is the Red Church (the church of St. Simeon and Helen). It was built in the early 20th c. under the sponsorship of the Vaynilovich family (a Slutsk judge, landowner Vaynilovich and his wife Olyrnia) who donated all their money to commemorate their children Simon and Helen who died unexpectedly of an unknown disease. Their names are given to 2 small towers, white the big one as the symbol of eternally mourning parents. The church is mainly decorated in Roman style with its majestic forms, balance, quiet strength though some details of Gothic style could also be seen. The sculptural composition of Archangel Michael who kills a winged dragon symbolizes the victory of the divine army over the forces of darkness. Nowadays, the red church building, which has already served as Belarusian SSR’s National Polisk Theatre, a film studio and a cinema, has since 1990 been returned to believers, but it serves not only a religious purpose. Concerts of organ music, religious music concerts of world-famous composers are held here, one-actor theatre performances are staged and sketches are played. The Church of the Holy Trinity and St Roch on Golden Hill is another attraction. Golden Hill is the old name for this region of the town. Maybe for the wonderful golden decoration of trees, maybe for that as the legend says â€Å"the citizens collected the golden coins for the church building, this region was called Golden Hill. The church was dedicated to St. Roch, who was noted pilgrim a healer, invoked for his miraculous powers against the plague and cholera. The church is a monument f neogothic architecture. The interior of the church was of timber painted to resemble marble. On the High Altar stood a wooden statue of the Madonna and Child and a represent of the Holy Trinity. The church was restored in 1983 and given over to the nearly State Philharmonic as a small concert chamber on account of its excellent acoustics. You can’t but visit St Alexander Nevski Ghurch which was built in memory of Belarusian soldiers who perished in the Russian-Turkish conflict of 1877-78 and carries a miraculous story. In June 1941 a bomb managed to pierce the church dome and fall in front of the altar without exploding. Later it was one of only two active churches in Minsk. Both of the nations celebrated poets Y. Kupala and Y. Kolas, as well as various masters of art, culture and science in Belarus, are buried in the Military cemetery alongside the soldiers who laid their lives to free Minsk from the Fascists. Even the name of the next place to see reflects the historic past of the country. That is Victory Square. The obelisk of Victory commemorates the deaths of soldiers, partisans, and all the inhabitants of Belarus killed in the struggle with fascism during WWII. Its height is 38 m. It is covered by grey granite. It is topped by the Order of Victory which is decorated by multi-coloured smelt. The Eternal Flame was inflamed on the 3 d of July in 1961 and bright scarlet flowers seem to bum together with the flame till late autumn. Well, I suppose that nobody can resist the temptation of visiting one of the chief glories of Minsk – Trinity Suburb. It is a tangle of narrow streets lined with a fascinating array of little craft and curio shops. Delightful small houses seem to whisper their secrets to each other across the cobbled way. Here you have a feeling of coming back into the 18th c. Suburb is renowned for its historic buildings. You can enjoy the view of the Holy Spirit Cathedral and the church of St. Paul and Peter also can be seen here. Not far from these sacred places, on a bend in the river Svisloch there is a humpback bridge leading to the Isle of Tears, the monument to the sons of Fatherland who died beyond its borders. The monument is designed in the shape of a temple. It stands on 16 piles which go deep into swampy soil. In the centre of the monument there are figures of mourning mothers, who personify Belarusian women crying over their dead sons. Some of them hold icons in their hands, others – portraits of their sons. Mothers, standing at the front, hold lamps which symbolize the warmth of home health. Inside there are altars with the inscribed names of 771 dead soldiers. In the middle of the monuments there is the sacred Place where the Bells of Memory are ringing. Weeping willows bend over the water. So you see, there are a lot of sights in Minsk that are connected with the history of Belarus. Their beauty and their historical heritage attract thousands of tourists from all over the world and make Minsk and amazing place, which is really worth seeing.

Frankenstein And Critique Of Education Essay Example For Students

Frankenstein And Critique Of Education Essay Mary Shellys Frankenstein focuses on human nature and on the possibility ofcontrolling experience in order to shape character and cultural values. Specifically, it focuses on the influence of education and experience ineffecting behavior. In general, the characters are divided in to three groups byeducation and experience: passive rescued women, ambitious bourgeoisie men, andthe self-taught lonesome creature. Through the female character group, MaryShelly illustrates how the combination of education and experience shapeattitudes and behaviors of women to be passive objects, which leads to theirdemise. Mary Shelly spends the least time describing the education of women,repeating one version of female upbringing. The lack of time devoted to femalecharacters in general is not a blatant disregard of women; rather, it istestimony to the limited role women exercised in public sphere of society. Caroline Beaufort is the model of virtuous femininity rescued from poverty tobourgeois passivity. Caroline, the daughter of a proud, failed businessman,follows her father into self-imposed exile to avoid the humiliation of failurewhere he falls into a terrible sickness of humiliation. Completely dedicated toher father, Caroline attended him with the greatest tenderness; but she sawwith despair that their little fund was rapidly decreasing (Shelly 32)Luckily Caroline possessed a mind of uncommon mould; and her courage rose tosupport her in her adversity and by various means contrived to earn apittance scarcely sufficient to support life (Shelly 32). She not only caresfor him during his pathetic free fall from life, but she also actively procuredwork and single-handedly supported herself and her father. It is obvious thathas Caroline possesses the skills and tenacity to support not only herself, buther father as well. However, when her fathers falls victim to death sheimmediately trans forms from a caring, productive women to an orphan andbeggar (Shelly 32). There is nothing to note any changes in the attitude oractions of Caroline to warrant such a change. Rather, the change is a directresult of the death of her father. Despite the fact that Caroline possessed theability to provide for herself, her description and social status remained tiedto her father. Even though women had the ability to act as free agents insociety, their description, status was invariably tied to a male. Luckily, forCaroline, an associate of her fathers rescued her from her sudden sociallyimposed poverty. While mourning her fathers death, Alphonse Frankensteincame like a protecting spirit to the poor girl, who committed herself to hiscare (Shelly 32). Caroline translates her gratitude of being saved from atough mans world into lifelong subservience. She immediately transfers herselfless dedication from one man, her father, to another, her new husbandAlpohnse Frankenstein demonstrating the f emales artificial dependence on men. Saved to the feminine life of passive servitude, Caroline similarly rescuesother girls from poverty and educates them in the virtues of bourgeoisdomesticity. Thus, she finds Elizabeth, whose seemingly innate, upper classfeminine virtue makes her shine amid a family of dark-eyed, hardy littlevagrants (Shelly 34). Upon being rescued, Caroline presented Elizabeth toVictor as her promised gift (Shelly 34). Immediately following herintroduction to bourgeois life, Elizabeth is transformed to possession of amale. Once in the Frankenstein household, Elizabeth learned to be the livingspirit of love to soften and attract (Shelly 38). Once under proper middleclass guidance, Elizabeth becomes the ideal female by providing comfort andsupport while becoming dependent on male energy and male provision. Thus, likeher foster mother, she is the perfect domestic woman: daughter, sister, friend,and wife-to-be. Justine Moritz, a poor girl is also saved from her tyrant,exploitive mother by Caroline. Once introduced to the bourgeois Frankensteinfamily Justine trained to be a servant. Just like Caroline and Elizabeth beforeher, Justine quickly learns the female role of serving others. Undoubtedlythankful for Caroline saving her from her tyrannical mother, Justine idealizedher and considered her to be the model of all excellence, and endeavored toimitate her phraseology and manners (Shelly 65). Evidently, Justine attemptedto emulate Carolines middle class virtues making her equally passive andobedient. Justine, along with Caroline and Elizabeth, are manifestations of howwomen fulfill and are fulfilled by their servitude dominated domestic lives. .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d , .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d .postImageUrl , .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d , .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d:hover , .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d:visited , .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d:active { border:0!important; } .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d:active , .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .uacfffd1920f0b793ece1d5b27f4c348d:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Folk vs rock EssayWomen once guided into what Mary Shellys mother Mary Wollstonecraft describesas gentleness, docility, and a spaniel-like affection, are less agentsthen they are objects acted upon (6) .
