This also contains papillary [PA-pih-la-ree] muscles, which can be damaged by ischemia [ih-SKEE-mee-uh]. This is also the location of Purkinje [pur-KIN-jee] fibers or Bundle of His, which are generally less important than its sinoatrial [sigh-no-AI-tree-ul] node. Its function is aided by the mitral [MIGH-trul], tricuspid, and aortic valves. Name this organ with two atria [AI-tree-uh] and two ventricles that pumps blood to the rest of the body.

Name this magician of the Round Table. 3 Illinois Masonic Academic Bowl Round # 1 2013 Sectional Tournament 2nd Section Teamwork Questions Question #7: Science – Physics 10 points per part Let’s find out what you know about wavelengths. A common way to calculate wavelength is to divide frequency 1 wave speed by this quantity equal to waves per time. Name the quantity, not the common unit. The wavelength of light is commonly measured in nanometers (prompt on “10-9 2 these units. The visible spectrum is between about 400 meter”) and 700 of these. Matter waves, which are used because of the wave- Louis de Broglie particle duality of matter, have a wavelength that varies 3 inversely with momentum and are named after this scientist. Question #8: Science – Physics 10 points per part These particles are named after the Indian scientist who worked with Albert Einstein on their statistical models. Name these particles with integer spin values. bosons 1 Because two bosons can occupy the same quantum Pauli exclusion principle 2 state, they do not follow this principle that applies to (prompt half answer) fermions. These bosons carry the fundamental forces. Give the gauge bosons 3 collective name rather than naming the carrier for each force. 4 Illinois Masonic Academic Bowl Round # 1 2013 Sectional Tournament 2nd Section Teamwork Questions Question #9: Social Studies – Psychology 10 points per part Fergus Craik and Endel Tuving [TOO-veeng] found semantic encoding worked best for improving this. Name this process of storing and retrieving memory 1 information. Emotionally charged moments can create the “flashbulb” type. Princeton psychologist George Miller developed a Seven short-term memory law that found, on average, humans 2 can hold this many items in working short-term memory. This form of memory loss can be described as amnesia retrograde, where one loses stored memories, or 3 anterograde [an-TER-oh-grade], where one cannot form new memories. It can be caused by head trauma. Question #10: Social Studies – Psychology 10 points per part He wrote about his search for physiological [FIS-ee-oh- LAH-ji-cul] and materialist evidence to back his psychological theories in Project for a Scientific Psychology. Name this Austrian psychologist, the founder of Sigmund Freud psychoanalysis. In The Psychopathy of Everyday Life, 1 he wrote about slips of the tongue which were later named for him. In Freud’s [froyds] theories on psychoanalysis, this id 2 part of one’s personality is said to be the source of primitive drives. In this seminal work, Freud claimed that the manifest The Interpretation of Dreams content of the title events has a latent meaning, as the (accept Die Traumdeutung) 3 events themselves defy logical entailment and narrative coherence. In it, he coined the term “libido [luh-BEE- doe]” to describe the mind’s energy. 5 Illinois Masonic Academic Bowl Round # 1 2013 Sectional Tournament 2nd Section Teamwork Questions Question #11: Literature – World Literature 10 points per part In one of his stories, Heracles [HERE-uh-clees] told a wagon driver to stop praying to him so much. Name this ancient Greek slave who wrote a large Aesop 1 number of fables. In one of Aesop’s fables, an ant told this creature that grasshopper 2 his leisure-taking and singing in the summer led to his starvation in the winter. Aesop also wrote about this slave, who was thrown to a Androcles lion. Much to the king’s amazement, the lion licked 3 this man’s paw, as he had earlier pulled a thorn from the lion’s paw. Question #12: Literature – World Literature 10 points per part When the reader first encounters this character, his path is blocked by a leopard, wolf, and a lion. Name this figure, who is led through Inferno and Dante Alighieri (accept either 1 Purgatory by Virgil in the Divine Comedy. He is the half of answer) author of the work. All or nothing: in the ninth circle of hell, Dante Judas Iscariot, Cassius, Marcus [DAHN-tay] depicted Satan consuming the bodies of Brutus (answers may be in any 2 these three betrayers. order, all three must be given or it is incorrect) After Virgil led Dante [DAHN-tay] to the Garden of Beatrice Eden, this handmaid of Mary takes over as Dante’s 3 guide. Representing efficient grace, she guides him through Paradise. 6 Illinois Masonic Academic Bowl Round # 1 2013 Sectional Tournament 2nd Section Teamwork Questions Question #13: Math – Probability 10 points per part Two standard dice are rolled. Express your answers as simplified fractions when appropriate. Find the probability that the sum of the numbers on the 5/36 1 dice is exactly 6. Find the probability that the product of the numbers on 1/18 2 the dice is exactly 5. Because knowing the number that comes up on one die independent events (accept does not help in any way to predict the number that independence, do not accept 3 comes up on the other die, this term describes the “dependent” or “dependence”) relationship between the two rolls. Question #14: Math – Probability 10 points per part An example is the probability that it is hot and the probability that it is snowing. Give the two-word phrase to describe events that mutually exclusive 1 cannot both happen. Such events can also be described as disjoint. If S and T are mutually exclusive, the probability of S 3/8 (accept .375) 2 is 1/4, and the probability of T is 1/8, find the probability of S or T. This set is the intersection of two disjoint sets.

  • George Bellows on Monhegan Island
    David Peters Corbett The World Is Terrible and It Is Not There at All: George Bellows on Monhegan Island Painted on Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine during the summer of 1913, George Bellows’s small oil on panel Churn and Break (fig. 1) depicts a shore and its surrounding sea. The observer’s gaze encounters a mound of dark, almost black, rocks, which glisten with trails of moisture and light. To the left, the sea, sweeping in a great wave up against the rocks, threatens to overtop the ridge. In the midground, further dramatic swells rise and fall, and overhead, in a dreary sky, Bellows’s paint describes the insistent perpendicular fall of rain. Above the rocks and to the right, a plume of spray, dense and gray and white, jets up in a balletic swirl of creamy pigment. Bellows’s painting uses dazzling mixed brushwork to portray the variety of forms and textures of this scene, from the fluid lines and sinuous handling of the fore- ground sea to the dragged marks that describe the descending curtain of rain and cast a shadowy veil across the distance. The world we are confronted by in Churn and Break seems to fall into two disparate levels of experience: on the one hand, a discrete, self-contained universe of vital but inhuman matter, formed by the crashing sea and mute shoreline; on the other, an intimately human domain, the gestural runs and virtuoso flourishes of Bellows’s hand and brush.1 Despite this apparently radical division, the two levels also merge fleetingly into a single identity.

  • The Jungle Tales of Tarzan

Or at least so thought Tarzan of the Apes, who squatted upon a low-swinging branch in a near-by tree and looked down upon her. Just to have seen him there, lolling upon the swaying bough of the jungle-forest giant, his brown skin mottled by the brilliant equatorial sunlight which percolated through the leafy canopy of green above him, his clean-limbed body relaxed in graceful ease, his shapely head partly turned in contemplative absorption and his intelligent, gray eyes dreamily devouring the object of their devotion, you would have thought him the reincarnation of some demigod of old. You would not have guessed that in infancy he had suckled at the breast of a hideous, hairy she-ape, nor that in all his conscious past since his parents had passed away in the little cabin by the landlocked harbor at the jungle's verge, he had known no other associates than the sullen bulls and the snarling cows of the tribe of Kerchak, the great ape.

  • Squeeze Plays
    The Squeeze Play By James R. Klein **** The most fascinating of all advanced plays in bridge is undoubtedly the squeeze play. Since the origin of bridge, the ability to execute the squeeze play has been one of the many distinguishing marks of the expert player. What is more important is the expert's ability to recognize that a squeeze exists and therefore make all the necessary steps to prepare for it. Often during the course of play the beginner as well as the advanced player has executed a squeeze merely because it was automatic. The play of a long suit with defender holding all the essential cards will accomplish this. The purpose of the squeeze play is quite simple. It is to create an extra winner with a card lower than the defender holds by compelling the latter to discard it to protect a vital card in another suit. While the execution of the squeeze play at times may seem complex, the average player may learn a great deal by studying certain principles that are governed by it. 1. It is important to determine which of the defenders holds the vital cards. This may be accomplished in many ways; for example, by adverse bidding, by a revealing opening lead, by discards and signals but most often by the actual fall of the cards. This is particularly true when one of the defenders fails to follow suit on the first or second trick. 2. It is important after the opening lead is made to count the sure tricks before playing to the first trick.
