How to nail 💅your Essays

No matter if you’re in university or school, you will need to write a research paper. Now this post will be dedicated to a normal essay structure, if you need to write an essay based assignment on medical, biological, chemical, or any other science, you need to be more specific, as writing a lab report has a couple extra steps.

Now, you have an essay due in two weeks? A week? Tonight? I’ve been there and I share your pain. I am currently in my last year in university studying for bachelor degree in Marketing, and oh boy let me tell you, the amount of essays I had to write was unreal. Therefore, let me share with you some of my essays skills, to help your speed run your own assignment.

Step 1: OUTLINE IT!?

Ok i think so many of you out there are missing this step. You cant expect yourself to sit in front of the computer and start typing away your essay? No you cant do that. You need to spend a good amount of time sitting down and outlining your essay. Figure out what goes where, and what sources to use for each section. Luckily for you, you have me here to tell you the basic outline structure of every essay. It consists of the:

Table of content (depends on how professional your essay is asked for)

Introduction

Main body

Conclusion

… THATS IT! Only 4 sections (and a half) to write your essay. However of course there is more to write then just that. Lets break down those sections

1) Introduction: When writing the introduction for your essay, it's important to start off with a bang! You want to give your readers a glimpse of what's to come and hook their attention right from the beginning. Make sure to include a strong thesis statement that clearly states the main argument or purpose of your essay. To make it even more engaging, you can provide some background information about the topic and give a brief outline of the main points you'll be discussing in your essay. Therefore, every introduction should have an hook, explanation what you’re writing, what you think will be the result or what is the point you’re writing your essay, and outline all the points of the main body (but simplify them)

2) Main body: In each section of your essay, it's important to provide a detailed analysis and offer supporting evidence for the points you introduced at the beginning. Take each paragraph as a chance to present a single main idea or argument and support it with enough evidence, examples, or citations to back up your claim. To make sure your ideas flow smoothly, use clear and logical transitions between paragraphs. Lastly, remember to give credit to your sources and include proper references for any external information you include in your essay. Here are some side tips for you

Try to have at least a minimum of 3 main body paragraphs . Each paragraph should have one point which helps support your main hypothesis or reasons or this essay.

Each essay will have different main bodies, depending on the subject. Sometimes your main bodies will be dedicated to presenting information about your topic. So for example, as a marketer, I had to write many reports. Most reports written will always include a main analysis of the company (so SWOT, PESTEL, Stakeholder analysis, mission and vision of the company, etc). Depending on what the essay require you to do, you should consider to present your points in that order.

Even your main body should have a proper structure of introduction, main points, and the conclusion.

Don’t forget to have a proper in-text citations depending on which format you use.

3) Conclusion: A conclusion is a chance to wrap up your essay by summarizing the main points and restating the thesis statement. Remember not to introduce any new information here; instead, provide a concise summary of the arguments you've made throughout your essay. Furthermore, this is your chance to leave a lasting impression on your reader by offering insights, implications, or recommendations related to the topic. A well-written conclusion should leave your reader with a sense of closure and a clear understanding of the importance of your essay's content.

4) References: The references section of your essay is where you list all the sources you have cited or referenced. It's important because it helps readers find and verify the credibility of the sources you used. When writing the references section, make sure to follow the specific citation style required by your institution or professor, such as APA, MLA, or Chicago style. Include the author's name, publication year (if there is no publication year, then the article must not be reliable. It must always have a year), title of the source, publication information, and any other required details. Arrange the references alphabetically by the author's last name or by the title if there is no author (if there is no author try using the organisation or the website that published the text). Don't forget to double-check the formatting and punctuation for accuracy and consistency throughout the references section.

After your essay was outlines and you know exactly what you’re supposed to write… write it dude? Like you have the format, you have the sources, and you know your points. Just start writing… if you are having trouble getting started, then give a click to another one of my blogs on how to actually get started on studying.

If you want to go the extra mile, and also make the essay more professional here are some of my personal tips to accomplish that:

size 12 for normal text and size 14 for title (titles can be only bold)

Use text Times New Roman (ROMAN EMPIREEEEEEEEEE)

Double space of all essay

Have a cover page! You can find templates in the insert section of the word tabs.

Have numbers tag the foot of the page

And thats all for today folks! Hope this is actually useful to you, and if you are struggling with anything specific, then do let me know in the comment section or send me a question through the tumblr! Now thank you for reading, and leaving likes <3 don't forget to smile, because you’re beautiful.

"I do think there are classrooms that will be disrupted by ChatGPT, but those are classrooms where something is already broken. Certainly for a history classroom, if ChatGPT can churn out a decent essay for your assignment, chances are the assignment is poorly designed. ChatGPT after all cannot analyze a primary source (unless it is already been analyzed many times in its training materials), it struggles to cite scholarship (more often inventing fake sources) and it generally avoids specific evidence. Well-designed assignments which demand proper citation, specific evidence to support claims (rather than general statements) and a clear thesis are going to be beyond ChatGPT and indeed require so much editing to produce from a ChatGPT framework as to make it hardly worth the effort to cheat. If your essay prompt can be successfully answered using nothing but vague ChatGPT generated platitudes, it is a bad prompt."

Funny you mention that, I'm actually planning to go a step further and have proper relationships sections! So every character relationship in the infobox (and then some) can be covered with the depth they deserve.

Of course, that kind of thing can go off the rails fast and become a breeding ground for speculation, so they'll focus solely on the progression of the relationship from the perspective of the character whose article it is, and require a citation for every claim made. (I'd personally like to move towards citing every claim we make period, but it'd probably be best to start with baby steps.)

So I've had that cooking for a while (Jo is coincidentally the character I decided to start with, since he has very few relationships but they're all complex enough for a stress test). I probably shouldn't approach it with the intent to "correct misunderstandings," but I would like to think fans might have an easier time creating in-character fanworks with all of that information in one place. At the very least, you wouldn't necessarily have to go back through all the RGGO stories as a refresher lol.

I've never wanted to address Mine's orientation per se--not that that's quite what you were talking about I think, this is purely as an aside--because a lot of it's considered semantics and I just can't cite it directly in the way I can cite his feelings for Daigo. But on a personal level, I'm honestly surprised at the number of dudebros I've seen who'd be willing to accept he's bi, but being gay is a bridge too far on account of him dating women.

But the point of what he was talking about in the finale is that those relationships weren't at all fulfilling for him, right? Through a purely speculative lens, Jo claiming to be unable to remember Ikumi's name reminds me of that somehow. Like, if that's actually true, you remember every single minute detail of New Year's down to the locker numbers, where Ikumi gave birth, what Arakawa's face looked like, but you can't remember the name of the mother of your child? Alright, man. That's so normal. There's no trauma and/or comphet-adjacence there.

Speaking of--yeah, Masato's card unfortunately comes with no story, so it's not just bad luck. Character stories were discontinued with Kawara and Bessho, I think over a year ago now. On one hand I'm kind of thankful because they've been making it increasingly difficult to actually pull newly-released cards, but on the other hand, it's a huge part of what made cards worth trying for in the first place.

I do get it in terms of sheer volume though; it's mainly Yokoyama and Takeuchi themselves writing everything, and for scale, if I take solely my own translations of all of Mine's events and stories, it'd equal roughly 27.5k words. I can understand putting out that novella-length volume of content--ridiculously HQ content at that--every month isn't feasible when you're also writing for console entries on top of that.

You definitely shouldn't be putting yourself down in comparison though haha, I adore your work precisely because you've got such an excellent grasp on the characters and I always look forward to anything you put out!

Very, very true about Mine and his dad! I think if I were to summarize my findings from the papers (with regard to Mine specifically), Mine has this line in the finale about his hatred of people like Kiryu who "live solely by the principles of giri-ninjo, moral obligation and human feeling." Obviously not translated that way in-game because it's pretty lofty, but there is significance to it as I see it.

Focusing on the ninjo aspect, the papers define the term as "knowing how to [depend and presume upon another’s benevolence] properly and how to respond to the call [to depend and presume] in others." The "dependency need" component is thought develop as a baby first bonds with its parent.

Although it's commonly associated with child and parent, it applies to many forms of dependence, "such as between lovers, friends, husband and wife, teacher and student, employer and employee." It should also be noted it's not strictly hierarchical--superiors depend on their subordinates just as much.

So ninjo is a concept with a history of being considered "specifically as Japanese" in a way Westerners wouldn't understand. (It isn't actually, of course--everyone experiences this form of dependence--however, if I recall correctly, Japanese people were found to be significantly more likely to recognize and admit to it than Westerners.)

By opposing ninjo, a Japanese ideal of dependence, Mine implicitly aligns himself with "the Western ideal of personal independence," which is described as an ideal in which "one might just as well depend upon oneself or become independent, since there is nobody else to depend upon."

This is absolutely rooted in his being an orphan. His "dependency need" was at one point fulfilled by his dad's presence in his life, and once he lost him, he spent the rest of his life fluctuating between searching for someone else who would fulfill it and trying to be someone who doesn't experience "dependency need."

In contrast to Japanese society, where "parental dependency is fostered and its behavior pattern institutionalized into the social structure," the idealized version of Western society values an individual's success over their background. One example is the American myth of the "self-made man," which Mine describes himself as in the original Y3. As an orphan, his rejection of Japanese society in favor of Western society would make sense in that regard as well.

Growing up with no one to depend on and often facing loss and betrayal when he tried to, Mine avoids relying on or trusting others for most of his life. He is independent not because it comes naturally to him, but because of how dependence has hurt him in the past--i.e., "one might just as well depend upon oneself or become independent, since there is nobody else to depend upon."

However, Mine does accept and directly acknowledge the concept at the heart of ninjo when he admits in the finale, "People yearn to trust others. And to be trusted in return." That also coincides with him choosing to end things according to his code of honor as a yakuza, and literally taking the game's main representative of Western culture down with him. It's so perfect within this framework that I have no idea if Yokoyama even knew what he was doing, but He Sure Did It.

But it absolutely works with what you said, and I think it's fairly self-evident because you were able to pick up on it even if you didn't have the exact terminology in mind; Mine once his dependency need fulfilled where Jo never did, and it's made all the difference. I'm a very, very heavily Westernized South Asian still living in South Asia, and I imagine there's less overlap between SAsian culture and EAsian culture, but I've always thought "family values" such as those discussed are more or less ubiquitous in Asian cultures. For what it's worth, I relate strongly to Mine here.

(Also, in case anyone one day accuses me of copying Mine's future personality section from Tumblr, a fair amount of this is from my draft of that. I'm trying my best to make it sound less insane because it's going on a wiki, but y'know.)

Rewinding a little bit, I wanted to point out that Mine being bullied for being an orphan in that specific scene is more or less an invention of Y3R's localization. Kind of an understandable one, because he certainly did face it and Y3R's script was written without ever consulting a Japanese translation, but an invention nonetheless; in that scene, he was being bullied for being poor, not being an orphan.

But I don't think that affects the validity of your point at all, since--and it might not be totally intentional, since Mine wasn't always supposed to be the main antagonist--all the time you spend working with the Morning Glory kids through their problems effectively shows what he may have gone through. Except that he, also like Jo I suppose, had no adults in his life to help him navigate those same problems.

It's hear-twrenching listening to Masato talk about his disability even as an adult, the role internalized ableism played in creating that rift can't be overstated. Brings to mind the image of Arakawa at a complete loss how to respond when Masato was hitting his legs; perhaps if he'd been better-equipped to get through to him as a parent in the way Ichi was able to at the end, things might have turned out different. I think Arakawa displays a lot more emotional maturity and awareness than most characters, but he's not always able or willing to communicate that.

Once again, I absolutely love how your comparison post turned out! I wouldn't have minded being @'d (not that I mind not being @'d) at all haha, I'm not very active so I love getting notifications. Just a huge fan of your presentation, super clean and easy to follow in my opinion. There are a few points I'd love to discuss further, but I know my asks tend to be way too long for what they are haha, so I'll wait. But yeah, just as the Venn diagram of Mine and Jo overlaps, so does the Venn diagram of Mine and Jo fans. Happy to have you in the middle!

I'm glad you got as much out of the books as I did! That's exactly why I think they works super well for them, and I was hoping you'd catch the added Art Appreciator similarity. Also worth noting the art history books appear to be in Polish? I guess you wouldn't need to understand the language if you were more about admiring the art itself (my own art history books are in English and I ignore the text in every single one), but it's kind of funny to have all these thick Tomes you probably can't read.

Also very true. I feel like Hijikata and DS Ryuji aren't quite even since Saigo does exist haha, though he doesn't have as much screen time as Hijikata. There are a few opportunities Mine seems to lose out to Ryuji or others (Ryuji being chosen over him as an RGGO protagonist when Mine was in the running and frankly fit the criteria better, for example), but it is what it is.

Yokoyama did mention the love for the first three games' rivals makes casting for spinoffs really easy though, so I do have hope for more actual Mine! I'd like to see a Dead Souls 2 (he has a pretty good excuse to be cyborg-ified, given the probable state of his body after the fall lmao), or maybe even an Ishin 2, since the events that led to Hijikata and the others' deaths in real life were avoided in Ishin.

I know Yokoyama's talked about a "Y0.5" with Ryuji and Mine, a French Revolution spinoff (???), a Romance of the Three Kingdoms spinoff, and a Sengoku-era Hattori Hanzo spinoff featuring 8 protagonists and the same "all-star" approach to casting as Ishin. Someone else pitched a spinoff for when the yakuza first came into existence, too. And, at one point, before Ichi existed, they were considering continuing the series with Gaiden-type games featuring various characters (though I think going forward, further Gaidens would depend on the success of Gaiden.) So there are lots of possibilities! I really do hope he gets to be a protagonist or playable character one day, since he fits the mold perfectly IMO.

I'm happy you appreciate my offering haha! I hope you'll let us know what you think of Princess Toyotomi and Hero SP whenever you get to them. That is unfortunately how I found out about Toru :') I adore the leads and their relationship myself, so I never would've thought Pure would go there! But I suppose it does check out for Tsutsumi's career.

Good Morning Show is honestly driving me insane because I'm positive I watched it but can't find it at the same address anymore??? I had to watch it with clearly machine translated subs, but it was as chaotic as it looks. Godspeed!

Oh, I also wanted to weigh in on the "Masato's care" line since that was originally supposed to be part of the response (and since the topic of localization is super interesting to me, as someone who not only translates works but translates RGGS' works and has needed to become intimately familiar with the official localization style).

It's an odd choice, because on top of what Anon said, everything from the context to the grammatical construction of the original Japanese sentence should clearly convey that what he's apologizing for is not taking sole responsibility for Masato's care and having Ichiban attend to him on top of his regular duties. He's not apologizing for Masato's care itself being a burden.

Honestly kind of baffling because not two scenes earlier, they convey the exact same sentiment perfectly--"Sorry to bother you with something so personal." [JP] / "I'm sorry to keep asking you to help me with something so personal." [EN]. It's like, to me, talented localization teams should absolutely be celebrated, but they should also be completely "invisible" in the moment. They're not invisible in that moment because it's their biases coming through rather the character or even the writer's biases.

I don't necessarily mean bias in terms of internalizing ableist ideas (it's hard to say it plays no part, given it's a disabled character being discussed, but what I mean is there's not at all enough to go on to conclude it was a malicious or even a conscious decision). I also mean in the sense of getting "locked into" a certain way of thinking about disabled characters and their care, and multiple different teams (base translation, dub editors, and sub editors) going over that line and not thinking twice.

Because like, it's true that in fiction (and unfortunately real life) you do see parents who feel it's a burden, but that doesn't mean Arakawa has to be that way. It kind of undermines RGG Studio's efforts to employ rigorous sensitivity checks starting this "generation" of games (starring Yagami and Ichiban, I mean) when things slip through the cracks like that.

And it's not the only area it happens; there are a number of places where there's this "tunnel vision" surrounding certain ideas that comes to the forefront. One of the things that leads to is instances of "pigeonholing" characters into pre-existing molds while not giving enough consideration to who the characters actually are in this particular work.

For me Jo actually got the brunt of it (or perhaps I was just most sensitive to it), from marketing to localization. Marketing-wise, the very first time we saw him in English-language trailers, it was literally for one second after either the word "BAD" or a synonym flashed on-screen. A far cry from Tsutsumi's one-on-one interview where he explicitly says Jo is doing everything in service of a deeper motive, his English voice actor was not interviewed at all, while most major characters' English voice actors were.

Localization-wise, there's one thing that perfectly encapsulates (if you'll allow me to be dramatic for a moment) "What Went Wrong." It's what they decided to call Jo's fighting style. The fact it went from Shame Style to something as trite as Vile Blade genuinely haunts me to this day. Just the sheer flanderization in taking a name that lays bare the core of his character and motivations, a name that conveys perfectly how he sees himself as inhuman and irredeemable, and then turning it inside-out to suggest he IS inhuman and irredeemable? That's insane to me.

Of course, I'm not really able to gauge whether/how that kind of thing actually affected the reception or general understanding of him as a character since I haven't participated in the fandom at all for years, but I do wonder if it has.

Having pages dedicated to relationships and including how each character perceives their relationships sounds like a fair idea (I've always been a fan about how on Masato's page, Yumeno is regarded as his 'girlfriend' while on her page he's only her 'customer'. It's a small detail all things considered, but it's a great way to emphasize how much impact one party can have on another and can deepen the significance of relationships and interactions)! And having citations at the ready is always a good idea to help clear up misinformation or just to simply provide tidbits people are curious about, though obviously with a franchise as big as RGG (including RGGO content), it's very easy to understand if it would take significant time to have absolutely everything accounted for. It's what makes the time dedicated to this kind of work all the more respectable, really!

When it comes to Mine- or any character honestly- and their orientation, for the sake of sharing information clearly, I think it'd be better just to focus on what's provided opposed to trying to find a concrete label for it, so I can't say I'm all too upset at the lack of a solid 'confirmation' and I am grateful for the material given that lets us work towards one conclusion and another.

It is surprising to me that people are more open to Mine being bisexual though (I usually see people try to ignore the fact bisexuality is an option. It's a weird win I guess..). But as you've pointed out, I personally believe Mine's case was more about a case of comphet behavior, as the line where he alludes to his past relations with women it's from a segment where he's specifically highlighting how he wasn't happy abiding by what should have made him happy. I still don't know how people observed the full scene but decided to block out the very next line where he says he was unsatisfied and just walked away with 'Mine likes women'. ☠️

Onto Jo though, the state of his memory about Masato's birth really is jarring when you point it out. It's one thing to just chalk it up to a sprinkle of misogyny and not finding Ikumi important (though at least RGG was nice enough to give her files a proper name), but really thinking about it, it's incredibly bizarre he doesn't remember at all. Not considering the actual nine months they had to live together for Ikumi to have Masato, I'd assume they'd have to live together a little longer than that then- and still nothing...? But everything else about that night... Definitely something to raise an eyebrow about lmao

That's unfortunate about the RGGO stories though! But like you said, it's totally understandable as to why they had to discontinue them (but also of course, they were a big attraction to me personally to play the game and card hunt), especially when it's only two people already having to juggle other projects. But thank you for the encouragement with my own personal projects: I try not to be too hard on myself since that certainly won't do anything, and it certainly helps to know that I'm on the right track with what I'm doing! I really do love these characters (and I'm also terribly aware they're a bit unpopular all things considered), so I always want to do what I can to do them justice for myself and other fans!

Highlighting Mine's preference towards the West has really been a great experience- it's something I've only noticed on small scales (i.e. his foreign car and of course his English), but bringing it to light like this has really helped validate and further my understanding of him! That being said, Mine most definitely has adopted the American mentality of stressing independence and not relying on others, and it's undoubtedly come as a result of his upbringing. Ergo, analyzing Mine in relation to his connection not just with American philosophy but also giri-ninjo is definitely worthwhile, and from the sounds of it absolutely significant to understanding his character and his motives (it's certainly something I'm already taking notes on for the future)!

Moreover, I've always been a fan of Mine and his ability to acknowledge the inherit need to have companionship, or at the very least his subconscious need for bonds. In that, it's clear Mine's pursuit of independence was a way to protect himself (I might dare to say he lets down his guard fairly easily all things considered, though I won't ignore his caution towards Daigo and Kanda when initially meeting them. Moreover, it's just clear that when he feels betrayed, despite convincing himself he's a lone wolf, he feels that pain significantly- much greater than someone who sincerely believes themselves to be independent should). Just as you've said, Mine's suicide and taking Richardson with him is really a solid and magnificent way to round off his character through the lens of him putting to rest his solitary philosophy. Going further with gameplay interwoven with story telling, the time-consuming Dad Simulator bits of Y3 really do help highlight how much the kids of Morning Glory- and in that case orphans in general- rely on adults like Kiryu to navigate life. And evidently, that experience ties back into Mine and his frustrations with not just people like Kiryu who help others without expecting a reward, but also how the less fortunate are able to receive that help where as Mine wasn't offered that.

On that note, I feel like I remember learning that the 'orphan' bit was an inclusion, but I guess I forgot that detail along the way. Nevertheless, I'm just about to start eating drywall over the translation differences at this point- even if my point isn't moot, I still can't help but feel an anxiety that I'm going to greatly misinterpret something (and I can certainly get back to this point later when it comes to the likes of Jo's in the west). At the very least, it's a better incentive to brush up on my Japanese. I'll take what I can though: I'm glad that what I've said it still valid in some parts!

The case of Masato's something that's always going to intrigue my mind (I owe myself a chance to properly sit down and analyze him). There's so many aspects at play that could have affected how he turned out as an adult, and family is undoubtedly a major factor contributing to that outcome. To expand on that, it's inarguable that Arakawa was doing the most he could for Masato as not only a young, single father who had a complicated relationship with his own parents, but also having to operate as a ruthless yakuza to the rest of Kamurocho meant not only was he busy, but he needed to uphold an image and make sure his son wasn't too involved with that life. In this, it seems apparent that Arakawa's conditions to be a parent weren't exactly ideal, and as a result it's fair to assume he potentially 'under performed' in some aspects due to these circumstances, so to say (we see he keeps himself active in Masato's life when he's an adult, so it's not as though I'm proposing it's a case of neglect. It's unfortunate we really don't get more of the Arakawa Family's family life to better understand their circumstances).

Thank you for your compliments on my comparison post! I didn't want to come off as bothersome, but I'll make sure to tag you in any future posts I make that are inspired by you ^^ Honestly, I thought my post was a bit messy on some parts, but I'm thrilled to hear it was comprehensive- and of course, I've love to hear your input on any points in the future if you ever feel like sharing them!

The topic of RGG spinoffs has been a topic between a friend and I every now and then (though I never would have expected a French Revolution game????), so it's astounding to hear about the various ideas that have been floating around (I would be excited the most for a game about Hanzo though- I remember obsessing over him while I was in middle school for whatever reason lmao)! In any case, spinoffs would be a great way to utilize one-off characters: it might not be mainline or technically canon, but being able to see the characters again is never something I can complain about so long as the game's fun and the story's engaging!

I'll make sure to keep you posted on how I feel about Princess Toyotomi and Hero SP: I have an insatiable need to share everything on my mind, so I'll undoubtedly talk about them and whatever thoughts I have! Again, I have to apologize about spoiling the end like that- I really didn't expect them to go that way either when I first saw it honestly! But I can't say it was a terrible ending- unfortunate, but I wasn't super mad about it.

Now returning to the state of RGG's translations, that is especially weird in that situation in particular when they have a similar line in the same (or about the same, anyway) scene? As you've said, it might have been an unfortunate case of penning in something based off of independent thought, though it's still unfortunate because it did have the potential to alter not just the scene itself, but Arakawa's character as well (and of course, we would have hoped RGG wold improve when it comes to sensitive topics at this point).

And onto a point I've been weirdly excited to get to, the case of Jo and how the west seemed to handle him. Maybe it's because of America's tendency to make marketing more 'aggressive' (my personal favorite case is making Kirby appear angrier in ads? Because rage and cute-pink-puffball makes sense to me), so opposed to a more grey portrayal they went with something more blunt. Though, it's incredibly strange that Jo seemed to receive such a 'particular' treatment when it came to marketing? My only theory is that they just really wanted Jo's 'reveal' in the Coin Locker Baby chapter to be all the more impactful, but it's just messy honestly.

More importantly, the change of his style's name is also really unfortunate to me. As you've said, it strips interesting aspects of his character away, and a major aspect of his character is evidently guilt. I can't fathom trying to construct his character to be violent without reason, it really undermines what makes him so compelling.

Though, I guess if it's anything, from what I've seen this change in presentation has done little to impact people's perception of him (but maybe that's because I haven't really seen anyone else in the west talk about him...)

#long post #fave #snap chats #preemptive apology for how eUgh my response may be #im a little tired but i also didnt want to wait to respond to this- especially when it has points im really interested in #definitely bookmarking this one to look back at for mine #ah im sure i wanted to say some things else but i cant remember them now #one quick note on mine's psyche tho is that I Too found it relatable (and im also SEAsian- funny how things turn out huh lmao)#of course maybe its because /im/ american so im quite literally in the culture #but my family's a little complicated so instead of the people around me i feel on my own because of them if that makes sense #basically im able to understand mine feeling some resentment or shut out from a culture supposedly about togetherness #its hard for me to explain rn ohhh i wish my brain worked at this hour #in any case thank you again for writing in ! as always its incredibly insightful and a great way to get me thinking #but speaking of thinking i guess i should start my morning- ive got to think about childhood psychology later #then im freee....

Do you always wonder why we still don't have the cure to cancer even with all the modern medical achievements we have made as of now?

Yup. It's my biggest curiosity about the whole medical sciences — it's so, so, so hard, and I'm always excited when a breakthrough happens, but it seems like so much hard work goes into getting there, and it's almost impossible to put the number of workhours devoted to research and development in cancer in perspective.

Here are some facts I learned from Wikipedia while googling on it:

From a summary of history:

"The first chemotherapy was established by Paul Ehrlich during a meeting on 24 May of 1909 at the Institut für Allgemeine Pathologie and Oncologie, Marburg, Germany, which had become world famous in 1905 by means of his discovery of the antimitotic properties of Salvarsan (arsenic trioxide), which are exhibited in yeasts to a much higher degree than in fungi of a broader scope."

"A year later, Ehrlich established for the first time the principle of chemotherapy with his discovery of the chemotherapy agent tetracaine."[1]

"While the anticancer action of Salvarsan was discovered before Ehrlich's death in 1967 by the discoverer of antibiotics, Joseph Balogh,[2] and subsequently discovered by Tomás McCarty in 1957, the development of cancer chemotherapy required the additional efforts of many thousands of medical researchers and more than 50 years of continuous biochemistry and cell biology investigations.[3]"

Here are some facts from the Wikipedia article on the history of chemotherapy:

"During the period World War I, Yoshio Sorimachi tried to use plant alkaloids against cancers, including a compound found in plants that is now called taxine (plant origin; Indigenous American name: yew tree),[26] and a compound derived from camptotheca (Ruta camptotheca ; the genus from Ecuador or Peru">Peru; folklore; wafer),[36][37][38][39][40] and another compound derived from plants that is now called actinidin (tropaeolum discoides).[41][42][43][44][45]

The early 1900s saw the emergence of the theory of cancer as "bad nutrition" and "a lack of proper nutrition."[citation needed][Talk][In my heart]" …which sounds a lot like an earlier time period when people said that cancer might be caused by eating too much and not exercising enough. (Here's a Wikipedia link on this theory.)

There is also a lot of folklore-based theories about cancer: "Many cancers used to be caused by evil spirits because of the devil of the tongue …the tungus

Formatting Your Thesis Paper: Essential Tips for Success

Writing a thesis paper is a significant milestone in your academic journey. It is not just about presenting your research findings; it also involves adhering to specific formatting guidelines that enhance readability and present your work professionally. Proper formatting not only helps in organizing your content but also ensures compliance with your institution's requirements. Here are essential tips for successfully formatting your thesis paper.

1. Understand Institutional Guidelines

Before diving into the formatting process, familiarize yourself with your institution's specific guidelines. Most universities provide detailed formatting manuals that outline the required structure, font size, margins, line spacing, citation styles, and other essential elements. Pay close attention to these guidelines, as failing to comply may result in unnecessary revisions or even rejection of your thesis.

2. Choose the Right Font and Size

The choice of font and size significantly impacts the overall appearance of your thesis paper. Commonly accepted fonts include Times New Roman, Arial, and Calibri, usually in size 12-point. It is essential to maintain consistency in font style and size throughout your document. Titles and headings may require different formatting, but the body text should remain uniform to ensure a polished look.

3. Set Up Your Margins

Proper margins are crucial for the readability of your thesis. Standard margin settings are typically one inch on all sides (top, bottom, left, and right). However, check your institution’s guidelines, as some may require slightly different margins. Consistent margins contribute to a neat and professional presentation.

4. Line Spacing Matters

The line spacing in your thesis paper also plays a vital role in its readability. Most institutions recommend double-spacing for the main text. However, single spacing may be required for footnotes, bibliographies, and block quotations. Make sure to set line spacing consistently throughout your document to maintain clarity.

5. Organize Your Structure

A well-structured thesis paper enhances the flow of information and aids reader comprehension. A typical structure includes the following sections:

Title Page: This page should include your thesis title, your name, your institution, the degree for which the thesis is submitted, and the submission date. The title should be concise yet descriptive.

Abstract: The abstract is a brief summary of your research, typically ranging from 150 to 300 words. It should provide a concise overview of the research problem, methodology, results, and conclusions.

Acknowledgments: This section allows you to express gratitude to those who contributed to your research, including advisors, colleagues, and family members.

Table of Contents: A well-organized table of contents helps readers navigate your thesis. Include headings and subheadings with corresponding page numbers.

Chapters/Sections: Organize your main content into clearly defined chapters. Each chapter should begin on a new page and have a clear title that reflects its focus.

References/Bibliography: Properly formatted references are crucial for academic integrity. Follow the citation style prescribed by your institution (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago) and ensure all sources are accurately cited.

Appendices: Include any supplementary materials, such as raw data, questionnaires, or additional charts, in the appendices. Each appendix should be labeled and referenced within the text.

6. Utilize Headings and Subheadings

Using headings and subheadings helps organize your content and guides the reader through your thesis. A clear hierarchy of headings enhances readability and allows readers to identify key sections easily. Typically, main headings are formatted in a larger font or bold, while subheadings can be slightly smaller or italicized. Ensure consistency in the formatting of all headings and subheadings.

7. Page Numbers

Page numbering is essential for easy navigation through your thesis. Generally, page numbers should appear in the header or footer, aligned to the right. The title page is usually not numbered, but subsequent pages should begin numbering from the introduction onward. Check the formatting guidelines for specific instructions regarding page numbers.

8. Proofread and Edit for Consistency

After completing your thesis paper, it is crucial to proofread and edit for consistency in formatting. Check for uniformity in font size, margins, line spacing, headings, and citation styles. Inconsistent formatting can detract from the professionalism of your work. Additionally, thorough proofreading will help eliminate grammatical errors, typos, and awkward phrasing.

9. Use Formatting Tools and Software

Many word processing programs, such as Microsoft Word and Google Docs, offer built-in formatting tools that can simplify the process. Utilize features like styles and formatting options to maintain consistency throughout your document. Furthermore, reference management software like Zotero or EndNote can help organize citations and generate bibliographies in the required format.

10. Seek Feedback

Before submitting your thesis, seek feedback from peers or advisors. Fresh eyes can catch formatting inconsistencies or errors that you may have overlooked. Their input can provide valuable insights on the overall presentation and structure of your thesis.

Conclusion

Formatting your thesis paper is a crucial step that can significantly influence its reception. By adhering to institutional guidelines, maintaining consistency, and organizing your content logically, you can enhance the quality and professionalism of your work. A well-formatted thesis not only reflects your commitment to academic excellence but also facilitates better understanding and appreciation of your research findings. Take the time to focus on these formatting essentials, and you will set yourself up for success in your academic endeavors.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Using NMIMS Solved Projects

Leveraging NMIMS Solved Projects 2024 can significantly enhance your academic performance, but it’s crucial to use these resources effectively. Students often make certain mistakes that could result in poor grades or academic penalties. Below are the common mistakes to avoid when using NMIMS projects to ensure your academic success:

Copying the Project Without Customization

One of the biggest mistakes students make is directly copying the NMIMS solved project without modifying it. Academic institutions like NMIMS have strict plagiarism policies, and submitting copied content can lead to penalties. To avoid this:

- Customize the content: Use the solved project as a reference, and personalize it with your own understanding and writing style.

- Add original analysis: Include your own perspectives and insights to differentiate the project.

2. Ignoring the Project Guidelines

Every NMIMS project has specific guidelines, including format, word count, and referencing styles. Using a solved project without tailoring it to meet the requirements of your course can result in marks being deducted. Ensure you:

- Follow the course-specific instructions: Read the guidelines provided by NMIMS carefully and adjust the solved project accordingly.

- Format the document correctly: Pay attention to font size, margins, citations, and structure to align with university standards.

3. Over-Reliance on Solved Projects

While NMIMS solved projects are helpful, over-reliance on them without understanding the subject matter can be detrimental. Using solved projects as a shortcut can limit your learning and affect your performance in exams or future assignments. To avoid this:

- Use solved projects as a learning tool: Read and analyze the content to deepen your understanding of the topic.

- Do your own research: Supplement the solved project with your own findings to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the subject.

4. Submitting Without Proofreading

Even if you're using a professionally prepared solved project, there may still be small errors or sections that don’t fully apply to your assignment. Submitting a project without proofreading can cost you valuable marks. To avoid this:

- Edit and review: Carefully proofread the project to catch any errors or inconsistencies.

- Ensure clarity: Make sure that the content flows logically and that your arguments are well-articulated.

5. Neglecting to Add References

Another common mistake is failing to add proper references to the sources used in the NMIMS project. Academic integrity is crucial, and failure to properly cite your sources can lead to accusations of plagiarism. To avoid this:

- Add accurate citations: Ensure that all sources and references are properly cited as per NMIMS guidelines.

- Use updated references: Ensure the references are current and relevant to the topic you're working on.

6. Misinterpreting the Solved Project

Sometimes, students misinterpret the content of the NMIMS project and submit an assignment that doesn’t address the question correctly. This can lead to poor grades. To avoid this:

- Understand the project thoroughly: Read through the project multiple times to ensure you understand the key points.

- Align with the assignment requirements: Make sure the project addresses the specific questions or objectives of your assignment.

7. Not Incorporating Feedback

If you’ve received feedback from previous assignments or projects, failing to incorporate it into future submissions is a missed opportunity for improvement. Ensure you:

- Review past feedback: Look at the comments you’ve received from instructors and apply those insights to your current project.

- Continuously improve: Use solved projects as a stepping stone to refine your skills and avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Using NMIMS solved projects can be a game-changer in your academic journey, but it’s essential to avoid common pitfalls. Customize the content, follow project guidelines, and use solved projects as a learning resource rather than a shortcut. By avoiding these mistakes, you can maximize the benefits of NMIMS solved projects and achieve academic success.

Time management is essential when it comes to Annamalai assignments. Split your assignments into smaller activities and assign a deadline to each one of them. Include deadline dates so as to work using GANTT charts, calendar, or any other task management tool that you can devise.

How Do You Get Divorced in Texas: A Comprehensive Guide

Wondering how do you get divorced in Texas? This guide will break down the essential steps, from meeting residency requirements to filing and finalizing your divorce. You’ll learn the necessary actions and legal basics to navigate the Texas divorce process smoothly. Key Takeaways - Texas residency requirements mandate that at least one spouse must reside in the state for six months and in the filing county for 90 days before initiating divorce proceedings. - Divorce in Texas can be contested or uncontested, with uncontested divorces typically being quicker and less costly due to mutual agreements on key issues. - Engaging an experienced divorce attorney is crucial for navigating the complexities of the divorce process, ensuring legal compliance, protecting rights, and providing effective negotiation strategies. Understanding Texas Divorce Laws Understanding Texas divorce laws is essential for navigating the divorce process successfully. Before filing a divorce petition, meeting the state’s residency requirements is crucial. In Texas, at least one spouse must have lived in the state for a minimum of six months and in the county where you plan to file for at least 90 days. This rule applies to both civilian and military residents, with military personnel being able to file if stationed in Texas for the requisite period. Only one spouse needs to meet these criteria, so even if your spouse lives outside Texas, you can still file in the county where you reside if you meet the residency conditions. Once residency is established, the next step is to understand the grounds for divorce in Texas. Texas is a “no-fault” divorce state, meaning you don’t need to prove wrongdoing by your spouse to file for divorce. The most common grounds cited is “insupportability,” which indicates that the marriage is no longer supportable due to conflicts or discord. Other grounds include adultery, abandonment, felony conviction, and cruel treatment. Each of these grounds can impact the proceedings, influencing decisions on child custody, spousal support, and property division. Understanding the grounds for divorce helps in deciding the best approach for your situation. Filing the Divorce Petition Filing the divorce petition initiates the divorce process. The primary document to be filed is the Original Petition for Divorce, which outlines the grounds for divorce and sets the stage for issues like child custody and property division. This document must be submitted to the district court in the county where either spouse meets the residency requirements. Texas only has one official form for uncontested divorces without children or property, approved by the Texas Supreme Court in 2017. For more complex cases, multiple divorce forms and instructions are available on TexasLawHelp.org. Preparing documentation for the divorce process can be daunting, but thorough preparation significantly helps. Start by gathering all relevant financial documents, including bank statements, tax returns, and property deeds. These documents are crucial for negotiations and court proceedings, especially in contested divorces involving property division and spousal support. A well-organized file can expedite the process, reducing both time and stress. Texas allows for electronic filing of divorce documents through the eFileTexas.gov website. This modern convenience saves time and ensures proper submission of all paperwork. Be mindful of filing fees, which vary by county but are generally required upfront unless you qualify for a waiver by filing an Affidavit of Inability to Pay Court Costs. Once the petition is filed, the court will issue a citation, which must be served to the other spouse to officially notify them of the divorce proceedings. Serving Divorce Papers Serving divorce papers is crucial, ensuring that the other spouse is formally notified and can respond. In Texas, personal service is the most common method, involving a neutral third party, such as a sheriff or process server, delivering the papers directly to the spouse. This method guarantees that the spouse is aware of the divorce proceedings and can prepare their response. Personal service provides a clear record of notification, which is vital in court. If personal service is not feasible, alternatives include serving the papers via registered or certified mail, requiring a return receipt for proof of delivery. In cases where the spouse is unreachable, service by publication might be necessary, which involves placing a notice in a local newspaper. Regardless of the method, obtaining a Proof of Service document is essential to confirm that the spouse received the papers. Failure to do so can lead to significant delays or even the dismissal of the case. Temporary Orders and Mediation Temporary orders address immediate issues that arise during the divorce process. These orders can cover various aspects such as child custody arrangements, spousal support payments, and property use while the divorce is pending. If spouses cannot agree on the terms of temporary orders, a judge will hold an evidentiary hearing where both parties present evidence and testimony. Judges in Texas have wide discretion over these hearings, and their decisions can significantly impact the final divorce settlement. Mediation encourages spouses to resolve disputes amicably with the help of a neutral third party. This approach can often lead to less conflict and a more favorable outcome for both parties. Mediation focuses on negotiation and compromise, particularly beneficial in contested divorces where emotions run high. By opting for mediation, couples can avoid the stress and expense of prolonged court battles, working towards a mutually agreeable solution. Child Custody and Support Child custody is often the most contentious aspect of a divorce. In Texas, the law generally presumes that both parents should act as joint managing conservators, sharing decision-making responsibilities. However, in cases involving family violence or an absent parent, the court may designate one parent as the sole managing conservator. Temporary orders can determine living arrangements and financial responsibilities while the divorce is pending, providing stability for the children under Texas law. Child custody concerns require careful preparation and a focus on the children’s best interests. It’s essential to document your involvement in your children’s lives, including participation in school activities, medical appointments, and daily routines. This documentation can be crucial during custody evaluations and court hearings. If possible, reach an agreement with your spouse on custody arrangements to avoid a lengthy and stressful court battle. Divorce lawyers are invaluable for navigating the complexities of child custody and child support. They can help ensure that all legal requirements are met and advocate for your rights as a parent. In one case, a spouse’s public revelation of the other’s infidelity led to a shift in custody arrangements, with the court prioritizing the welfare of the minor children over the embarrassment caused. This example underscores the importance of focusing on the children’s best interests rather than personal grievances during divorce proceedings. Property Division in Texas Property division is another critical aspect of the divorce process in Texas. The state follows community property laws, meaning all assets acquired during the marriage are typically considered marital property and are divided equally between the spouses. However, assets owned before the marriage, or those received as gifts or inheritances, are classified as separate property and are not subject to division. Gathering thorough financial information early in the process is crucial to identify and classify all assets accurately. The division of property can be complex, especially if separate and community properties are commingled. In such cases, the separate property may lose its status and be subject to division. Texas courts aim to divide community property equitably, considering factors such as the length of the marriage, each spouse’s economic circumstances, and any fault in the dissolution of the marriage. This equitable approach means that the division may not always be equal but is intended to be fair. Experienced attorneys ensure that clients do not forfeit their rights to property and benefits. They provide negotiation strategies and legal insights that can lead to a more favorable outcome. In one remarkable case, a spouse who shared sensitive private information received a more favorable asset division due to the court’s negative view of the actions. This highlights the importance of ethical conduct during divorce proceedings, as unethical behavior can significantly impact the court’s decisions. Contested vs. Uncontested Divorces Understanding the difference between contested and uncontested divorces is essential for navigating the process. A contested divorce occurs when spouses cannot agree on key issues such as asset division or child custody, leading to a more complex and lengthy process. These divorces typically require more legal proceedings, including trials and hearings, which can extend the timeline for finalizing the divorce to months or even years. Contested temporary orders can also lead to higher legal costs and shape the final settlement based on the judge’s initial decisions. In contrast, an uncontested divorce is when both parties agree on all major matters, which streamlines the process and often reduces time and costs. Uncontested divorces can often be finalized in as little as 61 days, provided all paperwork is correctly filed and both spouses are in agreement. This type of divorce allows spouses to negotiate and agree on terms themselves, leading to a more amicable resolution. Mediation is often required before a judge will conduct a temporary orders hearing, allowing the parties to negotiate with the help of a neutral third party. Financial Considerations During Divorce Managing finances during a divorce requires careful planning and adjustment. Creating a post-divorce budget helps adjust to a potentially lower income and higher living expenses. Tracking all expenses meticulously and gathering thorough financial information early in the process establishes a fair division of assets and determines spousal support amounts. Increasing income and reducing expenses may be necessary to meet financial obligations after a divorce. Consulting with financial professionals can provide valuable guidance in managing finances during and after the divorce. They can help with budgeting, asset division, and planning for future financial stability. Additionally, if a person cannot afford court fees, they may file an Affidavit of Inability to Pay Court Costs to seek a waiver of these fees. Effective financial management during a divorce can reduce stress and ensure a smoother transition to post-divorce life. The Role of an Experienced Divorce Attorney Hiring an experienced divorce attorney ensures a smooth and legally compliant divorce process. A divorce lawyer provides knowledgeable legal guidance in navigating family law, helping clients make informed decisions regarding property division, child custody, and trial options without emotional bias. Engaging a divorce attorney can expedite and reduce the stress of the divorce process. They offer an objective perspective, which is essential in making sound decisions during an emotionally charged time. An experienced attorney will help you understand your rights and obligations, assist in preparing and filing all necessary legal forms, and represent your interests in court. They provide negotiation strategies to reach a fair settlement and ensure you do not forfeit your rights to property and benefits. The support of a skilled attorney can make a significant difference in the outcome of your divorce case, guiding you through each step with expertise and compassion. Finalizing the Divorce Finalizing a divorce in Texas involves several critical steps to ensure the process is legally binding. Divorce decrees cannot be finalized until at least 60 days after the divorce petition is filed, unless there is a case of family violence. After the waiting period, a court hearing is required to finalize the divorce, during which the judge reviews the requests from both spouses and issues the final divorce decree. Providing a Proof of Service document is essential to confirm that the spouse received the divorce papers, as failure to do so can lead to significant delays or even dismissal of the case. The process for scheduling divorce hearings can differ by county, so it’s important to check with the local court for specific procedures. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some courts have implemented changes, such as requiring a ‘prove-up affidavit’ instead of in-person hearings to finalize divorces. Verifying current practices with the court ensures that you are prepared and that the divorce process proceeds smoothly to its final conclusion. Real-Life Examples and Case Studies Real-life examples and case studies provide valuable insights into the practical aspects of the divorce process. One notable case involved a spouse who attempted to publicly shame their partner by disclosing private information during the divorce proceedings. This action backfired, as the court awarded more favorable custody arrangements to the targeted spouse, prioritizing the children’s well-being over the embarrassment caused. This example emphasizes the importance of maintaining ethical conduct and focusing on the children’s best interests during a divorce. In another case, a spouse received a more favorable asset division due to their partner’s unethical behavior during the divorce. The court viewed the actions negatively, leading to a more advantageous outcome for the spouse who had been targeted. These examples highlight the significance of ethical considerations in divorce proceedings and the potential impact of behavior on the final settlement. Mediation and constructive negotiation can often lead to better outcomes, avoiding the pitfalls of conflict and unethical tactics. Conclusion: Navigating the divorce process in Texas requires a thorough understanding of the state’s laws and procedures. From meeting residency requirements to filing the divorce petition, serving papers, and addressing temporary orders, each step is crucial.

How Our Dissertation Help Service Works

Our process for delivering dissertation help is designed to be straightforward and efficient. Here’s how we help you complete a high-quality dissertation:

Our experts ensure that your dissertation follows a logical flow and meets the structural requirements of your academic institution.
