an arithmetical triangle that is easy to construct and that gives the coefficients of the expansion of the algebraic expression expression (a + b)n for different integer values of n. Pascal’s Triangle was first discovered by Chinese mathematician, Yang Hui, and rediscovered 500 years later by the French mathematician, Blaise Pascal (1623-62).

To be lost is to lose all hope. To lose all your aspirations. To surrender all your dreams. Just because your lost, it doesn’t mean that you will not be found. In Amy Tan’s “The Moon Lady,” Ying- Ying, the main protagonist, fights with herself and with her culture. Ying-ying is longing to be found — to be reunited with her family — and with herself. At a youthful age, Ying-ying’s childish belief in personal fate and destiny later on led to a rule of passivity and listlessness. Ying-ying realizes

Yin and Yang The purpose of this paper is to expound on Chinese culture as it relates to nursing practice. I chose the Chinese culture to better understand the culture that is rapidly growing around the Denver metropolitan area. Through research and thorough application, I will be able to put into practice Purnell’s Model for Cultural competence and “forge a greater understanding of what is similar and different among the various cultures that make up the healthcare team…Nurses who utilize transcultural

the idea of balance. We see this in Yin and Yang, and a balance between light and dark, or tall and short. While the Americanized version of this concept is the difference between the two, the original concept looks at how yin and yang balance each other and work together.
