What literacy means for me and the impact that has on my life. For me literacy is very important and has a really strong impact in my life. When I was a kid I remember my father always telling me “the more you know the better it is”. I never really understood what he meant nor did I pay that much attention. I must admit that I was pretty rebellious back in those days‚ I wanted to be independent‚ I dropped out college in my freshman year‚ started partying‚ binge drinking‚ to sum it up I just didn’t

noun the deliberate modification of the characteristics of an organism by manipulating its genetic material. Genetic modification caused by human activity has been occurring since humans first domesticated organisms in 12 000 BC. Genetic engineering as the direct transfer of DNA from one organism to another was first accomplished by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen in 1973. Advances have allowed scientists to manipulate and add genes to a variety of different organism and to induce a range of

other in boats the sport is done on rivers‚ on lakes or on the ocean‚ depending on the type of race and the racing discipline. The goal of rowing is to create enough power‚ that the boat will travel a long distance‚ with minimal work. Physics is an important part of rowing. Several rowing terms deal with how the boat will move through the water‚ by the power of the stroke. Power is the force that drives the boat. The distance travelled is the motion of the boat in the water. The boats are propelled

relative to the observer on shore at a speed of 25 mi/hr. Motion is relative to the observer. The observer on land‚ often named (or misnamed) the "stationary observer" would measure the speed to be different than that of the person on the boat. The observed speed of the boat must always be described relative to who the observer is. To illustrate this principle‚ consider a plane flying amidst a tailwind. A tailwind is merely a wind that approaches the plane from behind‚ thus increasing its resulting velocity
