revolution
The American Revolution occurred because of Great Britain's failure to adjust to conditions brought on by the growth and development of the colonies, and by the aggravation of a breakdown in the political and economic harmony that existed between the colonies and their mother country.
America was a revolution force from the day of its discovery. The American Revolution was not the same thing as the American War of Independence. The war itself lasted only eight years, but the Revolution lasted over a century and a half and begun when the first permanent English settlers set foot on the new continent. Insurrection of thought usually precedes insurrection of deed. Over the years such ferment had occurred in the thinking of the colonists that the Revolution was partially completed in their minds before the first shot was fire or musketball began to fly.
The American Revolution had its beginnings in the French and Indian war. For seven years, Britain battled the French and Indian nations in the colonies. Where the colonies militia fought beside the troops of the British army and learned war first hand. After winning the war, Britain had a huge debt to pay. To pay these expenses, George Grenville, who was secretary of Treasury in England, came up with a plan. He reasoned that the debt should be paid by taxing the colonies. After all the war had been fought to protect their land, that is the land of the Ohio River Valley.
However, even before the French and Indian War had ended the political harmony that was once between the colonies and the British was already being broken down, due to all of the new acts that were passed in accordance with the mercantile theory of economics.
This theory of economics said that colonies are only here to serve and glorify their mother country, in this case Britain. This lead to Britain's passing of the Navigation Laws. These laws mandated that all goods from the colonies had to be carried by British ships, thus making British merchants rich and important because everybody wanted goods form the New World and now they would have to go threw Britain to get them. The Navigational Acts were tolerated to a certain extent but also disobeyed by the common people when necessary. In 1763, the Seven-Year War in Europe and the French and Indian War in the colonies was over, and with the end came a British debt of ove...

...moves that might start a major war. However, on the other hand, they also felt they needed to protect themselves, so they established the Continental Army and named George Washington as Commander-in-Chief. They also passed a "Declaration of Causes of Taking up Arms," which named England as an aggressor and gave the Colonists the right to take up arms against the British.
After King George III officially called the Colonies in rebellion, which was after Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" was circulated and read, the Patriots realized there was no way to solve the problems peacefully. They decided to declare independence and they drafted the Declaration of Independence, which was adopted and ratified on July 4, 1776.
This was the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, in it's major points. Both Britain and the American Colonies had their faults in this matter, however most of the problem resided in the fact that the colonies' perceptions of the British actions were not the reality of the British actions. Therefore in fighting these actions the American Colonies eventual lead themselves to the signing of the Declaration of Independence and into the American Revolutionary War.
The colonists had failed to stop the British, but they got reinforcements. when the British got to Concord, there was no equipment to be taken. It was a decoy and the British had been tricked. When they turned around to head back, they were faced with the Colonial army to fight. The colonial army won and the American Revolutionary War had begun.
On July 4, 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed. The thirteen colonies were no longer under King George III rule. It was a new world that needed a new type of leadership. On July 12, 1776 the Second Congress proposed the Articles of Confederation. The articles were ratified by all thirteen states on March 1, 1781.
The American Revolution could, to some have started when the Americans were given the Proclamation of 1763. As we see they are given boundaries and forbidden to settle onto Indian land. Many more decisions were made in England for the people of America without their opinions. Thereafter, the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act, and the Townshend Duties were set and intended to help finance and sustain the British troops in America. These laws were created without the consent of the people and they were later informed that they were included by Virtual Representation. The colonists lived with these annoying custom duties by evading them through smuggling. Soon after a Declaratory Act was passed reasserting the right of Parliament to legislate 'in all cases whatsoever.'; (Graham 78) The people of America just wanted to separate from the English and soon become interested ...

Because of the fat that he worked so close to the border of the United States and Mexico it meant that he would always be in the spotlight here in the United States. Hollywood’s Mutual Film Company wanted to film Pancho Villa’s battles and in 1913, he signed a contract with them to do just that. He was very selfish when it came to his power and his fame, all he wanted was to be known and to be respected, but going all the way to get the battles filmed I don’t think was the way he really wanted to do that. A lot of times battles were re-scheduled or staged for the safety of the cameramen. At this time, Pancho Villa was on the United States’ good side and they were supply him with guns and
FlagellaFlagella are necessary for the active movement of bacterial cells and protozoa. Flagella are single, whip-like structures that propel an organism through an aquatic environment. They use undulatory motions, where the waves of motion start at the base of the flagellum. The size, the volume of the medium, the length, position and width of the flagella on the organism determine the direction and speed propulsion of the cell. There are three different types of flagella movement. They are either planar, oarlike beating, or three dimensional waves.In the three dimensional wave movement, the flagella whips back and forth. As a result, the organism moves forward in the direction of the flagellum.The planar waves are mostly asymmetrical, and are on a single plane. The planar waves make the protozoan rotate on it’s longitudinal axis. The direction of movement is opposite of the direction of the wave.The oarlike flagellar movement is the same as planer, but the waves are often very asymmetrical, and have more side to side swing. Also, the protozoan usually rotates and moves with the flagellum from the front end.CiliaCilia are tiny hairlike appendices that swim or beat individually or in large fields. They work like flexible oars. The movement of each cilia must be closely coordinated with all of the other cilia. This is called metachronal rhythm, which is a wave of simultaneously beating groups of cilia moving from the anterior to posterior end of the organism and is responsible for the transport of objects and materials.Cilia play an important role in nearly all life functions in most species in the animal kingdom, including humans. Some of which are, feeding, reproduction, sensing, swimming, and transportation. Since they are so important, there has been a great deal of research done on them. Hancock made the first theoretical breakthrough in the mid-50’s, although cilia have been known about for 250 years.
Normally, retinoic acid plays roles in many bodily functions, such as proliferation, differentiation, embryogenesis, immunity, and metabolism. When treated with retinoic acid HL-60 cells produce granulocytes (3). Retinoic acid worked well both in vitro, during laboratory testing, and in vivo, during clinical trials (2). Another highly tested differentiation therapy agent is vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 assists the body with many functions such as immunity, cellular growth and regulating calcium and bone homeostasis. In addition, when HL-60 cells are treated with Vitamin D3 they differentiate into monocytes (3). When researchers tested vitamin D3 in vitro it worked well, however when they tested it in vivo it didn’t work very well. So to make vitamin D3 induce monocytic differentiation in vivo researchers have used vitamin D3 and retinoic acid together to produce a synergistic differentiation effect that allowed the cells to differentiate into monocytes in vivo
There are many different types that are necessary in maintaining proper health such as riboflavin, vitamin C, and vitamin D. Riboflavin is a water soluble vitamin that is named for its structural component and color. It is important for energy metabolism, synthesizing of vitamins, nerve function, and biological membrane protection. A deficiency in riboflavin would lead to ariboflavinosis (McGuire & Beerman, 2012). Good sources of riboflavin are meat, fish, and dark green vegetables (Powers, 2003). A more commonly known vitamin is vitamin C, or ascorbic acid. This is also a water soluble vitamin. Its major role is as an antioxidant and improving the immune system. Vitamin C can be consumed through citrus, tomatoes, peppers, and carrots. If not enough of this vitamin is consumed, it will lead to scurvy (Garcia-Closas et al, 2004). This vitamin is commonly known because it helps protect against colds. Whenever someone is starting to get sick, they are told to take vitamin C. Lastly, Vitamin D is found in two forms: ergocalciferol (plant) and cholecalciferol (animal). It is important in blood calcium regulation, bone health, and it may even help prevent certain types of cancer. Good sources of vitamin D are ones that occur naturally such as egg yolks, milk, fish, and mushrooms. In addition, vitamin D can also be synthesized through sunlight which is why it is called the sunshine vitamin (McGuire &
The American Revolution was a defining point in history in which American colonists fought for their independence and their constitutional rights. The war against Britain established the foundation the nation has been built on, and the event influenced political ideas and revolutions around the world. The causes of this incredible war can be traced back to the conflict-driven relations between Britain and the colonies.
Vitamin D deficiency is one of the fastest growing epidemics in the world today. Approximately 75 percent of U.S. teens and adults have low vitamin D levels. Some experts are attributing the high percentage of vitamin D deficiency to the increased use of sunscreen and long sleeve shirts after recent skin cancer-prevention campaigns… But a person does not have to tan or sunburn in order to get vitamin D.

“Vitamin deficiencies especially vitamin B12, B6 and folate are associated with cognitive impairment, and linked to age-related hearing loss in older adults. If B12 levels are not adequate, high folate levels may be a concern.” As we age the amount of chemicals in the body, needed to absorb vitamin B12 decreases. To avoid deficiency, older adults are advised to eat foods in rich vitamin B12 regularly, including meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy foods. “Nutritional antioxidant supplements are generally believed to be beneficial in reducing free radical cellular and DNA damage.” A large epidemiological study found the concomitant use of vitamins C and E is associated with reduces incidents of Alzheimer disease. Eating foods with Vitamin E such as grains, peanuts, nuts vegetable oil and seeds may help reduce the risks of Alzheimer’s disease. However the study found the same benefits did not hold true for Vitamin E from supplements. Seasonal vitamin D deficiency is recognized as highly prevalent in North America. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is recommended for individuals over the age of 65 because it has have been shown to reduce hip fracture
A study was done to see if tanning beds really helped with Vitamin D production. The study used healthy subjects between the ages of 18-70 years to participate. The study split into two test groups, one group had those who used the tanning bed more than once a week for over 6 months, and the other group included those wh...
In the article of Zittermann et al. (2011, p. 1), vitamin D is received largely from ultraviolet B rays that induced in the skin. Furthermore, Prentice (2008, p. S153) describes that a plasma metabolite of vitamin D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) is a valuable risk marker to determine the paucity of vitamin D, she further reports that this substance is produced in the liver and synthesizes from the skin.
Vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium in the body, which is important for bone health and development as you grow. It also helps reduce inflammation and benefits your immune system. It is needed for proper absorption of calcium; stored in
Some believe that higher doses of vitamins and minerals will prevent the consumer from getting the disease. As explained previously this claim is not true. Evidence does show that having the proper amounts of vitamins and nutrients will maintain the body’s health and can reduce risk of disease. While exploring causes of cardiovascular disease, the number one killer of Americans, researchers explored what type of vitamin may help to prevent the body from disease.There is little solid evidence to support that vitamin D does in fact reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. One peer reviewed article suggested that eating garlic had the most research and clear evidence in regards to being proven to lower cholesterol and overall lower chances of cardiovascular disease. Because vitamin supplements are relatively new there is not an abundance amount of studies to prove or disprove theories. (Knox
