[1] he created a flavored syrup and took it to his neighborhood pharmacy, where it was mixed with carbonated water and deemed \u201cexcellent\u201d by <u>those whom have<\/u> sampled it. [2] dr. pemberton\u2019s partner and bookkeeper, frank m. robinson, is credited with naming the beverage \u201ccoca\u2011cola\u201d as well as <u>creating the design of<\/u> the trademarked, distinctive script that is still used today. the first servings of coca\u2011cola were sold for 5 cents per glass. during the first year, sales initially averaged a modest nine servings per day in atlanta. today, daily servings of coca\u2011cola beverages are estimated at 1.9 billion globally.<\/p>\n<p>[3] in 1888, <u>dr. pemberton sold portions of his business to various parties, just two years after creating what was to become the world\u2019s #1-selling sparkling beverage however only a few years before his death.<\/u> the majority of the interest was sold to atlanta businessman, asa g. candler. under mr. candler\u2019s leadership, distribution of coca\u2011cola expanded to soda fountains beyond atlanta. in 1894, impressed by the growing demand for coca\u2011cola and the desire to make the beverage portable, joseph biedenharn installed bottling machinery in the rear of his mississippi soda fountain, becoming the first to put coca\u2011cola in bottles. the three entrepreneurs purchased the bottling rights from asa candler for just $1. benjamin thomas, joseph whitehead and john lupton developed what became the coca\u2011cola worldwide bottling system. large scale bottling was made possible just five years later, when in 1899, three enterprising businessmen in chattanooga, tennessee secured exclusive rights to bottle and sell coca\u2011cola.<\/p>\n<p><em>this passage

improved by every preceding generation up to his own. he saw the successive effort of early greek democracies and byzantine emperors and the rules set forth by the magna carta coalescing into a consummately effective\u2014though far from perfect\u2014society. in his eyes, the british parliamentary system of his day represented the realization of all of the efforts theretofore drawn together by the work of enlightenment philosophers in the 18th century. it was the fullest expression of liberty balanced with order yet known to man. a deep sense of gratitude to his forbears reigned in every word from his lips and from his pen.<\/p>\n<p>due to this national pride and patriotism, burke&#8217;s dismissal of the french revolution brings little surprise to the student of history. yet, his positive attitude toward the american revolutionaries, so uncommon in his time and station, was no less a natural expression of his political stance.<\/p>\n<p>years before the fateful july fourth, burke addressed the british house of commons regarding the trouble stirring far across the atlantic. the british had treated the american englishmen unjustly, he argued. taxation without representation violated the principles foundational to parliament. taking a long and careful view of history, burke believed that the colonists had both tactical and ideological advantages; they wielded the two-edged sword of power and virtue. as long as the english people exploited their overseas brethren, they could not hope to suppress the colonists with violence.<\/p>\n<p>burke&#8217;s call to action went unheeded, and the american revolution began. still appealing to his perennial belief in the superiority of the parliamentary system of government, he pled with the house, \u201cas long as you have the wisdom to keep the sovereign authority of this country as the sanctuary of liberty, the sacred temple consecrated to our common faith, wherever the chosen race and sons of england worship freedom, they will turn their faces towards you. the more they multiply, the more friends you will have; the more ardently they love liberty, the more perfect will be their obedience. slavery they can have anywhere. it is a weed that grows in every soil. they may have it from spain, they may have it from prussia. but, until you become lost to all feeling of your true interest and your natural dignity, freedom they can have from none but you.&#8221; despite his wise words, the english still sought to enslave the colonies, thereby losing america.<\/p>\n<h4>1.<\/h4>\n<p>the passage

malaria, with two of the most common being plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium vivax. though both species cause a very similar illness, p. falciparum malaria is more likely to result in fatalities than p. vivax malaria, while p. vivax malaria is more likely to recur\u2014to return after a period of time during which the patient is healthy and has no parasites present in the blood.<\/p>\n<p>the two species of malaria parasites respond differently to antimalarial medications, but in many areas where malaria is common, testing to determine what type of malaria a patient has is not widely available. therefore malaria treatments are often tested against both species of the parasite, and first-line malaria treatments in these regions ideally should be effective against both parasites.<\/p>\n<h4>experiment 1<\/h4>\n<p>for many years, public health professionals in papua new guinea have recommended a treatment regimen, drug combination a, as a first-line malaria treatment. recently a new treatment regimen, drug combination b, has been proposed as a potential replacement for combination a, and a study was conducted to compare their effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>children entering a local health clinic with malaria symptoms were tested to determine which plasmodium species they carried. the patients were then randomly assigned drug combination a or drug combination b, and their blood was tested periodically for the presence of parasites.<\/p>\n<p><em>figure 1<\/p>\n<p><\/em><img decoding=\"async\"
