The document provides arguments for the existence of God based on the principle that there is no effect without a cause. It argues that the universe exists, so it must have a cause. It cannot be attributed to chance or the properties of matter, as those would require a prior cause as well. The intelligence and order seen in creation point to a Supreme Intelligence as the first cause. The complexity of what is produced by nature could not be created by human intelligence, so the cause must be greater than humans. This Supreme Intelligence is the first cause of all things.
The document discusses various topics related to drugs, including their effects and advocating saying no to drugs. It notes that cocaine and crack can be smoked or injected and cause effects like increased heart rate and body temperature. It also discusses the definitions of drugs, medications, and how some governments define drugs by law. Throughout, it repeats the message to say no to drugs if you want change.
Burt Westermeier presents a timeline of major events spanning the Postclassical Period from 600-1450 CE. Key developments include the formation of the Ashikaga Shogunate in Japan, establishing feudalism and political independence from China; the Babylonian Captivity weakening the authority of the Roman Catholic Church; and the Hundred Years' War marking the rise of nation-states in Western Europe and the decline of mounted knights. Major military events include Charles Martel keeping Muslims out of Europe; the Mongols conquering Russia; and the Turks seizing Constantinople, ending the Byzantine Empire. Significant inventions were block printing, gunpowder, and new sailing techniques, while Muhammad's conquest of
Regulation of Financial Reporting & AuditingBev Trayner
The document discusses finding the right approach for accounting and financial reporting requirements for different types of entities. It considers which entities should be required or allowed to use tax reporting only, company law only, company law plus national standards, EC Directives, IFRS for SMEs, or full IFRS. The vision is for business entities to prepare financial statements that meet the needs of different users, including investors, creditors, banks, statisticians, regulators and tax authorities, while complying with EU rules and reflecting the nature, size, financing, and costs and benefits to entities and users.
A good self-manager is someone who is organized, arrives on time prepared, and works to their full ability regardless of others. They are comfortable working with all group members and willing to take a leadership role in organizing warm ups. They also enjoy trying new activities without fear of not liking them or looking silly.
This document summarizes key concepts about genetic inheritance:
1) Gregor Mendel discovered through pea plant experiments that genetic traits are passed unchanged from parents to offspring, laying the foundations of genetics.
2) DNA contained in chromosomes inside the cell nucleus carries the code for inheritance from generation to generation in the form of genes and alleles.
3) An organism's genotype refers to the specific combination of alleles it possesses for a given gene, while its phenotype describes the physical traits resulting from that genotype.
The document provides guidance on researching topics for assignments, including:

Key developments include the formation of the Ashikaga Shogunate in Japan, establishing feudalism and a distinct political system; the Babylonian Captivity weakening the authority of the Catholic Church in Europe; and the Hundred Years' War marking the rise of nation-states and new military technologies in Western Europe. Major events also include the Mongol conquest of Russia isolating it from the West for centuries, the invention of block and gunpowder revolutionizing communication and warfare, the spread of Islam under Muhammad, and the Black Death pandemic causing drastic changes across Eurasia.
Where User Experience And Software Engineering MeetAmy Ko
Andrew J. Ko is a researcher who studies at the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI) and software engineering (SE). He observes software developers to understand their information needs and problems. In a study of developers at Microsoft, he found that their work is highly fragmented with interruptions every 5-10 minutes and blocks every 10 minutes. Developers struggled to find information to answer questions like "what code caused this behavior?" or "why was this code implemented this way?". This highlights opportunities to help developers work more efficiently through improved tools and design.
Auditing, Oversight and Quality AssuranceBev Trayner
The document discusses the objectives and challenges of auditing oversight and quality assurance. It recommends establishing a public oversight system for statutory auditors and audit firms that conduct public interest entity audits. The oversight system should be governed by non-practitioners with relevant knowledge, cover all aspects of oversight including standard setting, inspection, and discipline, and be transparent and independent while preserving audit quality. No single oversight model will fit all jurisdictions, but the recommendations provide principles for an effective system.
1. Air barrier paper is a permeable material applied continuously over buildings to block airflow and outside forces.
2. Attic ventilation includes soffit vents, ridge vents, and gable vents which help keep attics cool in summer and prevent condensation in winter.
3. A backhoe is machinery used for digging with an 18-inch wide bucket, while batter boards outline foundation walls.

1. Al margine di un campo agricolo, una gallina attraversa la strada..... DOMANDA: Perché la gallina ha attraversato la strada? Vediamo come alcuni uomini importanti avrebbero potuto rispondere a questa domanda “fondamentale”...
6. IPPOCRATE Forse a causa di un eccesso di secrezione del suo pancreas.
7. CAPITANO KIRK Per arrivare fin dove nessun'altra gallina era mai stata prima.
8. MARTIN LUTHER KING Ho sognato un mondo in cui tutte le galline fossero libere di attraversare la strada senza dover giustificare il loro atto.
9. MACHIAVELLI Il fatto importante è che la gallina abbia attraversato la strada. Chi se ne frega di sapere il perché? Il fine in sé di attraversare la strada giustifica qualunque motivazione.
11. MOSÈ E Dio scese dal Cielo e disse alla gallina: "Tu attraverserai la strada". E la gallina attraverso' la strada.
12. BUDDA Porre questa domanda rinnega la natura della gallina.
13. DARWIN Le galline per lunghissimi periodi di tempo sono state cosi' selezionate naturalmente, dato che non sono geneticamente predisposte ad attraversare la strada.
15. SIGMUN FREUD Il fatto che vi preoccupiate del fatto che la gallina abbia attraversato la strada rivela il vostro profondo latente senso di insicurezza sessuale.
16. EINSTEIN Il fatto che sia la gallina che attraversa la strada o che sia la strada che si muove sotto la gallina dipende unicamente dal vostro sistema di riferimento!
17. SCHROEDINGER: C'è una certa probabilità che in un dato istante, la gallina sia un lato, sulla strada ed anche dall'altra parte.
18. HEISENBERG Se so dove si trova la gallina non so con che velocità attraversa la strada.
19. HITLER La gallina ariana non solo attraversa la strada ma governerà il mondo.
20. ARMSTRONG È un piccolo passo per la gallina, un grande passo per il pollaio
22. RICHARD NIXON La gallina non ha attraversato la strada, lo ripeto, la gallina non ha MAI attraversato la strada!
23. CLINTON Giuro sulla costituzione che non c’è stato niente tra me e quella gallina
24. ACCENTURE La deregolamentazione sul lato della strada della gallina minacciava la sua posizione di mercato dominante. La gallina si è trovata di fronte delle sfide significative a sviluppare le competenze richieste per poter affrontare nuovi mercati competitivi. In una stretta collaborazione col cliente, Accenture ha aiutato la gallina ad elaborare una strategia di distribuzione fisica ed un processo di riconversione. Utilizzando il Modello di Mappatura delle Covate (MMC), Accenture ha aiutato la gallina ad impiegare le sue capacità, metodologie, conoscenze, capitale ed esperienza per indirizzare i dipendenti, i processi e le tecnologie proprie della gallina verso la riconversione della sua strategia generale nell'ambito del Program-Management. Accenture ha utilizzato un team work composto di analisti di strade e delle migliori galline, nonché consulenti Accenture con notevole esperienza nel settore dei trasporti, che in due giorni di riunione e brain storming hanno portato il proprio bagaglio di conoscenze, sia tacito che manifesto, ad un livello comune, e che hanno creato sinergie per raggiungere lo scopo prefissato, ovvero di un sistema del Valore manageriale all'interno del processo della gallina media. Le riunioni hanno avuto luogo in un parco, per ottenere un'atmosfera test efficace, che si basa sulla strategia prevista, focalizzata sul settore analizzato e che conduce a chiare e consistenti assunzioni di mercato. Accenture ha aiutato la gallina a riposizionarsi, per ottenere un maggiore successo.
25. BERLUSCONI Non è vero niente cribbio. E' solo una mistificazione che usa la sinistra per creare confusione in questo paese. La verità storica è che quella gallina non ha mai lasciato il pollaio e sfido chiunque a dimostrare il contrario. Vede, Vespa, è il solito giochetto della disinformazione usato dai comunisti per screditare la casa delle libertà e me che ne sono l'umile portavoce, bla bla bla...
26. MAURIZIO COSTANZO Ma prima che la attraversi, consigli per gli acquisti.
27. RAFFAELLA CARRÀ La gallina che ha attraversato la strada stasera è quiiiiiiiiiiii
28. VIDEO GAMER Ho fatto 1000 punti, ma non doveva essere una rana?
