Anna came and knelt down in the doorway to tell us that supper was nearly ready. ‘For heaven’s sake, Anna, stand up!’ commanded Nyasha irritably. ‘Every time you come in here I tell you not to kneel down, but you keep on doing it. What’s the matter with you?’ And then she was ashamed of herself. ‘Now, honestly, just listen to me. Getting all cross and crotchety!
Class and gender: Anna is a poor woman serving the household, and her kneeling shows the hierarchy.
To our surprise, Maiguru did leave, by bus, early the next morning. She did not slink away in the dark, but quite openly packed a suitcase, put on her travelling clothes, had her breakfast and left. Babamukuru was still feeling injured, which was why, I thought, he let her go, but Nyasha had a different theory. She thought Babamukuru simply did not believe that Maiguru would doit. Would do it, could do it. It made no difference, she said. The point was that he did not believe. Babamukuru, she said, expected his wife to get cold feet before she got to the bus-stop or, at the latest, before the bus pulled away. It would have been useful, Nyasha said, if things had turned out that way, because then Babamukuru would always have been able to remind his wife that she had tried to leave and had failed. Unfortunately, she told me, Babamukuru had to wait until Maiguru had boarded that bus and had gone to discover whether he was right or not, and by that time it was too late to do anything about it.
This passage shows that Maiguru is not completely powerless. Despite the challenges in her marriage, she finally takes action to express her dissatisfaction. I think this demonstrates the importance of women having the courage to stand up for their rights.
She did tell us, didn’t she, what she thinks, and did anyone say anything? No. Why not? Because Maiguru is educated. That’s why you all kept quiet. Because she’s rich and comes here and flashes her money around, so you listen to her as though you want to eat the words that come out of her mouth. But me, I’m not educated, am I? I’m just poor and ignorant, so you want me to keep quiet, you say I mustn’t talk.
This shows how economic differences can affect relationships between women. Mainini feels that her opinions are ignored because she is poor. It reminds me that every woman deserves to be heard regardless of her financial position.
Since for most of her life my mother’s mind, belonging first to her father and then to her husband, had not been hers to make up, she was finding it difficult to come toa decision.
Tambu's mother has never been allowed to choose anything. When she asks Lucia “Since when has it mattered what I want?”, it shows how a woman’s life is controlled by her father and then her husband.
College not only will expand your mind, but it may also make you a little uncomfortable, challenge your identity, and at times, make you doubt your abilities.
I like this text because it talks about how college can be challenging and uncomfortable at times. Growth usually happens when people are pushed outside of their comfort zones and try new things. It a good reminder that feeling stressed or unsure sometimes does not mean your failing, it means your learning.
it takes passion and perseverance to be gritty. It also takes resilience, or the ability to bounce back from adversity.
This section helps me think about college differently because it reminds me that success is not just about being smart. There's going to be challenges and being able to keep going when things get difficult is important. I think developing resilience will help me handle setbacks and stay focused on my goals.

nd you’re basically scrambling to come toterms with something, which, unbeknownst to you, has been brewing forweeks under your very nose and bears all the symptoms of what you’reforced to call I want.
"Forced to call I want", implies societal pressure to put labels on feelings... What does Elio think of this? Assigning definitions based on symptoms. Based on others telling you -- this is the transition that Elio takes to become Oliver.
Will he eventually not want him? And how does this prove identity is contradictory!?

religious views or religious status, and forcing a choice between the exercise of religion and receiving either a government benefit, right, or privilege.
As a future teacher, can this explain why public schools tend to receive funding whereas private religious schools are usually self funded? Is a school with any religious ties automatically unalloyed to receive government aid?

When he arrived on the coast some seven months later,Equiano met coastal Biafrans whose culture and language were completelyunfamiliar to him. In expressing this difference Equiano noted the foreignnessof their fighting style along with other traits: “All the nations and people I hadhitherto passed through, resembled our own in their manners, customs, andlanguage; but I came at length to a country, the inhabitants of which differedfrom us in all those particulars. I was very much struck with this difference,especially when I came among a people who did not circumcise . . . and foughtwith their fists among themselves.”5
tell differences btwn what you know and what you dont (familiarity vs foreignness)
component parts
What is meant by "component parts" here? Are they the states? Are they the powers given to the federal government by the Constitution?
No political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the States, and of compounding the American people into one common mass. Of consequence, when they act, they act in their States.
Why is where the assembly took place relevant to the case and why exactly are they defending it?
We
I saw "we" being mentioned throughout this whole thing but I'm still a little bit confused as to where the introductions would be. Is this just assumed or am I missing something?
thus leaving the question whether the particular power which may become the subject of contest has been delegated to the one Government, or prohibited to the other, to depend on a fair construction of the whole instrument.
Is this suggesting that there is isn't any sort of protocol for when certain issues arise that causes question on what government has authority over said issue?
But if the full application of this argument could be admitted, it might bring into question the right of Congress to tax the State banks, and could not prove the rights of the States to tax the Bank of the United States.
Is this saying that the federal government can tax the states, but the states cannot tax the federal government?
It was reported to the then existing Congress of the United States
I'm assuming he means with this line, the congress as it existed under the Articles of Confederation. My question is why bring up this quick history recap? Is it to argue that the States, in ratifying the Constitution and the new Federal government, were granting that the Federal Government held a certain amount of power of them? Something else?
The Government of the Union then ... is, emphatically and truly, a Government of the people....
What's the deal with these ellipses? Is there actual text omitted? Or did Marshall literally include these marks in his writing?
the instrument,
Whats the term "instrument" referring to here? the constitution? or the creation of it?
Among the enumerated powers, we do not find that of establishing a bank or creating a corporation
While the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land, obviously the Constitution does not outline every possibility of things that happen within society (like the establishing of a bank or creating a corporation). Is the creation of something or a situation where things happen due to the lack of guidelines in the constitution common? Do you think it is fair that new rules and regulations be made in addition to there being none directly stated about these given situations?
"this Constitution, and the laws of the United States, which shall be made in pursuance thereof," "shall be the supreme law of the land,"
For clarification is Marshal saying that since the people told the states that they wanted a federal government, that the states have to abide by the federals governments laws and rules? He pointes out that the states may see them selves as sovereign states, but since the people agree to the federal government the states also have to follow it?
Though any one State may be willing to control its operations, no State is willing to allow others to control them
So here it sounds to me like it is certain that the states have sovereign power to create their laws, but wouldn't that directly conflict with the constitution being the supreme law of the land? Or is "no state is willing to allow others to control them" specifically speaking to something I'm missing?
incidental or implied
If Marshall is saying what I think he is saying here, could technically any "power-move" the national government makes be considered an implied power, if not prohibited by the Constitution? Would it just depend on how the justices perceive it, at the time of the conflict?
and that the Constitution leaves them this right, in the confidence that they will not abuse it....
"In the confidence that they will not abuse it" I feel like that is a big leap of faith to make. It seems as though states could drag an issue like this on and on, especially if they are in an opposing party than the president or something like that. Is there a sort of double jeopardy type thing to ensure this doesn't happen? or are there examples of this happening frequently?
had experienced the embarrassments resulting from the insertion of this word in the Articles of Confederation
Is the "embarrassment" Marshall is referring to here the events of Shay's Rebellion? We know that the invention of Federalism was specifically an attempt to remedy the pitfalls of the Articles of Confederation, and that the Articles created a weak central government. I remember reading about Shay's Rebellion that the national government found themselves unable to fund troops to be sent to counter the Rebellion. Is that because the power to send national troops into states was not "expressly" delegated to the US government? Or are there other "embarrassments" that arose from this part of the Articles, especially seeing as Marshall made "embarrassments" plural?
The Government of the United States, then, though limited in its powers,
Does anyone else feel that it is a stretch to say that Constitution = the government? I understand completely where they are coming from, and agree that it makes sense to have an overarching government, but this statement here feels like a stretch.
It seems only necessary to recognize certain principles, supposed to have been long and well established, to decide it.
Is this saying that the court must put the Constitution first, over an act of congress? Are the principles, which are being referred to, those in the Constitution? If not, what are they?
if the laws furnish no remedy for the violation of a vested legal right.
Question: Is having a job a legal right? I understand that this case was also trying to figure out that same question.
original jurisdiction
So where does appellate jurisdiction come in? I only see this statement mention original jurisdiction but in the video Prof explained the Constitutional Article III held the Supreme Court has power to do both. So in what circumstances does appellate court because the jurisdiction for a case/trial?
It cannot be presumed that any clause in the constitution is intended to be without effect
This assertion is fascinating to me. In my interpretation, Marshall is basically saying that every single clause in the constitution has a deliberate effect. I wonder, are there any clauses that the framers explicitly wrote as transitional sentences between two more important thoughts that have been interpreted to have a huge effect? In other words, was Marshall right to say that every single clause was supposed to have an effect?
and consequently if the officer is by law not removable at the will of the President
In what circumstances is the officer not removable at the will of the President in this context? From my knowledge the house impeaches and the Senate holds the trial
The very essence of civil liberty certainly consists in the right of every individual to claim the protection of the laws, whenever he receives an injury
Is this inciting that in order to be given civil liberty, you must obeyed by the laws set in place?
To withhold his commission, therefore, is an act deemed by the court not warranted by law, but violative of a vested legal right.
From what I understand about this case. it vaguely reminds me of the case of a baker who refused to bake a cake for a gay couple due to his religious beliefs. I think it made it to the state supreme court and they ruled he was within his constitutional right to refuse service. Since they ruled here that they could not force him to deliver the commissions (even though he did violate the law) did this case have any affect on the ruling of the more current case? I know that it said in a previous module that they have to follow precedent set by previous cases.
If he has a right, and that right has been violated, do the laws of his country afford him a remedy?
This is confusing to me because I don't understand how this is an opinion answered question. If something has gone wrong shouldn't there be a remedy owed?
who considers himself injured, has a right to resort to the laws of his country for a remedy.
When this is referring to a man considering himself "injured", does that mean that a remedy can only be given to cases in which someone was injured? Or is this a form of metaphorical speech?
The government of the United States has been emphatically termed a government of laws, and not of men. It will certainly cease to deserve this high appellation, if the laws furnish no remedy for the violation of a vested legal right.
Does this simply suggest our government is laws and doesn't have much to do with the men that are supposed to uphold them? What legal right are they referring to?
To enable this court then to issue a mandamus, it must be shown to be an exercise of appellate jurisdiction, or to be necessary to enable them to exercise appellate jurisdiction.
If the Court is only bound to issue a mandamus as an exercise or remedy provided the powers granted by its appellate jurisdiction, which it denied given the case was brought directly to the Court, then how did it take the case under original jurisdiction? Did Marshall have a different take on jurisdiction than Justice Chase a few decades later?
3dly. He is entitled to the remedy for which he applies
Why would he not be if his position is upheld by the law as they mentioned previously? Why would he not be entitled to a remedy of the situation?
And so there's a question about how religious you may be in order to receive the benefit or not.
So how is this measured? How is the court able to tell how "religious" a school is and does how "religious; they are determine the funding amount they receive?
past
Not sure if it's really a question necessarily, but I find it odd they are being so technical. I realize that they need to set a precedent and be able to justify their decisions and make sure it fits within the laws and everything, but they should be focusing on the merits of the case at hand, not coming up with every possible thing it could be compared to. Again it makes sense that they need to cross reference this type of information and those questions are worth answering but in this setting it somehow seems to me to be off topic.
hypothetical
I'm curious, in their attempts to, as Professor Roberts characterized it, "probe the strength of their legal arguments, implications and hypothetical effects," how often do Justices describe hypothetical situations? If there was a statistic on how many times, on average per case, a hypothetical was posed, how high or low do we think it would be?
Friends of the Earth and the Knox
I wish this had been elaborated on more. What do these two cases mean, and how does citing them help?
Let's suppose that the public school sometimes uses its playground for things other than children playing, whatever they're going to have, a -- you know, an auction or anything else. Isn't it the consequence of your argument that the church can use the playground for more religious activities if the public school can use the playground for other non-playground activities?
My first question is a bit more overarching of the argument that is happening so far. Is this argument, that the division of religious versus secular property on the church grounds, a violation of the first amendment? More specifically, if every individual has the freedom of religion, why does it matter that this church playground must be secular? Are they telling Cortman that they can judge what happens on the churches own private property? Why does this affect whether the church can join a fundraiser or not?

Harrison Bergeron was the son of Hazel and George Bergeron. He was astoundingly smart and an incredible athlete. He was also highly feared and uncontrollable.
Up-regulation of glycolysis is proposed to endow cancer cells withseveral selective advantages, in particular the incorporation ofnutrients into biomass to sustain high rates of proliferation (2,3). Deregulation of certain cancer-related genes has been linkedto the acquisition of the glycolytic phenotype (4). The phospha-tase and tensin homolog, PTEN,2is a tumor suppressor mostwell known for its ability to oppose the PI3K/Akt signalingpathway through the dephosphorylation of phosphatidylino
This has beentraditionally attributed to the hyperactivation of PI3K/Akt sig-naling that results from PTEN loss. Here, we propose a novelmechanism whereby the loss of PTEN negatively affects theactivity of the E3 ligase APC/C-Cdh1, resulting in the stabiliza-tion of the enzyme PFKFB3 and increased synthesis of its prod-uct fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6P2)
Unlike normal differentiated cells, tumor cells metabolizeglucose via glycolysis under aerobic conditions, a hallmark ofcancer known as the Warburg effect
Question 1 or 2
Our results suggest animportant role for F2,6P2in the metabolic reprogramming ofPTEN-deficient cells that has important consequences forcell proliferation.
This is ultimately how cancer cells are then successful
