1. When Shakespeare began work on what was perhaps his greatest tragedy, Lear, he must have had several versions of the story available to him as the story of King Lear was very popular during the reign of Queen Elizabeth.  While many of these stories contained undeveloped characters with a simple narrative, Shakespeare turned these legendary characters into credible human beings with complex motives. 

2. In order to allow the union to put forth proposals on behalf of its members, companies are obligated to disclose major changes in an operation during bargaining.  For example, it is part of managements' "duty to disclose" to announce the date an operation intends to close down.  The main goal for both the union and management, ultimately, is a minimization of conflict.

4. Hydrodynamic transport of fluid into the interstitial tissue and then through the mucosa into the lumen of the gut is believed to depend on altered capillary permeability.  A current hypothesis to explain this condition is that a toxin elaborated by the vibrio alters mucosal and vascular permeability.  This theory is supported by the changes in small capillaries located near the basal surface of the epithelial cells and the appearance of numerous microvesicles in the cytoplasm of mucosal cells.
