The Beginning Of Basketball Essay
The Beginning of Basketball Have you ever had an interest in how something was invented? An interest in
how your favorite activity or hobby came about? Ever since I was introduced to sports and how competitive it
was, I became hooked. I enjoy playing football, basketball, and baseball. Of the three main sports that I play,
basketball seems to be my favorite. It challenges endurance, speed, accuracy, agility, and strength. I feel guilty
not knowing who created the game that takes up most of my free time. It is time for me to learn about the
inventor and the games past. Basketball is one of the most popular games in the United States. There are many
different versions of it based on where one has grown up. In the less fortunate areas of ... Show more content

James worked at the YMCA Training School, where he earned his physical education degree, as a physical

Interpreting Theatre Concepts
Theatre can be described as an art form to show expression of opinion, empathize a phenomenon, or tell a story
through dialogue, song and body language. With multiple aspects contributing to this art, theatre is truly

productions. Within helpful resources and my own techniques, I achieved the course objectives in a successful

For example, I wrote down all the due dates and assignment titles into my planner when the semester started.
This aspect was helpful to understand which assignments needed to be completed as well as when they were
due. I also completed my assignments before the due date. I used time management to complete assignments
on time. For example, I would complete my discussion posts a day before they were due or I would reflect on
my postings with turning in the portfolio early. Because I turned assignments in on time or even early, I would
evaluate my own work through comprehending the productions in a manageable amount of time. I also created
a strategy to help me be successful. I would read the articles and the videos associated with the production
before watching the show. This would help me understand the production better by the little details of the

Extreme Apathy in John Guare s Six Degrees of Separation
Many authors go to great lengths to explore the limits of human experience, testing realms beyond the
imagination. Anything from physical boundaries to social boundaries are broken and thus redefined; Kafka
explores the life of a man turned into a bug, Nabokov examines the life of a man ruled by a sexual desire that is
taboo. With so much effort focused on the extremes of life, one work, a play by John Guare entitled Six
Degrees of Separation, stands out. Certainly, the events are extraordinary; based on a true story, Six Degrees is

Everyone in Six Degrees is quite vocal about their feelings, in fact. How then, do we go about proving that the
experience does not mark them indelibly, as they claim it does? By examining the characters entrances, the
structure of the play, and the art within the play, we can more fully understand whether we trust the characters.
Also, since there is one admitted con artist among the group, he serves as a valuable standard against whom we
may measure the others. After we decide whether Flan and Ouisa have indeed experienced a life changing
event, the question that remains is whether there is enough depth, enough substance to their lives so that they
can learn and change from the experience. In the final scene, Ouisa desperately laments the state of their lives,
shallow and pointless, and makes a break from Flan. Based upon all that we know from examining Flan and

The Study of Biodiversity
Biodiversity the amount of living things; animals, microorganisms and plants. It also includes the genetic
information these living things contain, and the ecosystems and biomes they form.
3 ways biodiversity can be studied:
GENETIC DIVERSITY: The amount of different genetic characteristics of the species in their genetic make
up.
SPEICIES DIVERSITY: the amount of species in a particular area in the world.
ECOSYSTEM DIVERSITY: the amount of ecosystems in a given region or biome.
Places of biodiversity include coral, rainforests, sea grass beds, and mangroves.
Australian soils
Old and fragile soils. Water requirements of native plants are adapted to this.
Australia is slowly shifting northwards. The climate will gradually change.
Bushfires. Species can affect scale and range of the bushfires.

Full Range Leadership Development Paper
Full Range Leadership Development (FRLD) and effective communication plays an essential role in employee
satisfaction and is linked to productivity and the financial success of an organization. Dissatisfaction can result
in people providing less attention to care in their job performance and eventually quitting. According to (Daft,
2012) One secret for the success in organization is motivated and engaged employees (p.451). Motivated
employees are very important for the success of the project, unmotivated employees are unlikely to work hard
or to be productive when compared to motivated employees. According to (DeRosa, 2010) Treat people as you
expect to be treated (p.73). Example; we should provide monetary rewards, like gift cards or praising them for
their efforts in front of their peers like in a huddle or in meetings.
Successful leaders use a variety of methods to motivate and lead the individuals they are responsible for.

Essay on The Tests for Market Efficiency
During the 20th century, academic financial economists extensively accepted the efficient market hypothesis.
Almost everyone was alleged that stock markets and securities market are highly efficient in response to any
new information in the market. It was argued that when information regarding factors influencing market
arises, the information spread like wild fire in the market and the prices of stocks adjust accordingly without
any delay. This means that neither the fundamental analysis related to analysis of financial information of the

In some journal an interesting example related to the idea of random walk is that random walk is like a
blindfolded chimpanzee throwing darts at Wall Street and selects any portfolio which yields equal to the
portfolio selected by any expert. The idea of random walk is just like throwing a towel on the stock of different
category to formulate an appropriate portfolio at lower cost.
Most of the investors try to select the securities which are mis priced undervalued due to the reason that in
future price of these securities will increase and they are able to outperform the market. The portfolio managers
identify the securities which are able to outperform the market and they use variety of different techniques to
predict the performance of the securities and stock. The financial analysis gives comparative advantage to the
investors which results in substantial profits. The efficient market hypothesis argues that any technique is not
capable to generate excess due to dependable predictability of stock and securities return. The efficient market
hypothesis argues that it is very difficult to predict the future stock return and also the predictions are not
consistent. The important and main force behind the price change is the arrival of new information. It is a

European Colonialism In The Film Pelo Malo
We often villainize the countries of Latin America, making them out as lands filled with violent, less civilized,
poor people. Those who are uneducated about Latin America and the culture may apply the things they know
about one culture in Latin America or the Caribbean to other countries in the area. We don t realize that some
of the stereotypes are directly influenced by the legacies left by European colonialism. Scholars studying
colonialism have determined five colonial legacies that are seen in many post colonial countries. These
colonial legacies are authoritarian government, power of the Roman Catholic Church, a social hierarchy,
economic dependency, and the large landed estate. In the film Pelo Malo, Junior, a young boy from a ... Show

African slaves seemingly received harsher treatment. Natives were expected to provide labor, but this was not
to the same degree as the Africans who s fate lie in the hands of their masters. (Wright, 22 24). This order
clearly places people of color below those of European, which is the major part of the hierarchy that has
persisted into the modern era. Though some Latin American societies have attempted to end this legacy, by
egalitarianism in Cuba (Wright, 225) or the creation of the first black republic in Haiti, many other areas had
persisting threads of the legacy weaved into their peoples everyday lives. In Pelo Malo, the scene in the school
shows an example of a society breaking away from the social hierarchy. During colonial times, only men who
were Spaniards or Creoles could obtain an education. Women or people in a lower class were unable to be
educated formally (Wright, 23). However, the film shows the school to be filed with both girls and boys, from
a variety of social classes it seems. There were children who looked like they could have been of full Spanish
descent sitting next to people like Junior who were of mixed race. Having this integration helps break the
expectation of a hierarchy in the children s minds, which may lead to even less use of the hierarchal social

Each of these revolutions were caused by an uneasy social and political climate in their societies by a ruling
group of people who were eventually ousted from the respective countries and firmly established the global
decline of absolute monarchies. These now empty political seats would be used to authorize a republic or
democracy. Each of these revolutions were also prompted by documents that were circulated widely and
evoked enough rational thought and persuasive prose that caused the wars to be planned and commenced. For
the American War of Independence, this would be Common Sense, written by Thomas Paine. The French
Revolution and Haitian Revolution were influenced by the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen
(the Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen would be written shortly after) and What is

Ethical Dilemmas with Governmental Crime, and Public Corruption in the News.
Most of the news stories today report on several scandals involving high profile government officials with
corruption being the major criminal aspect. In a news story reported by Thomas, Ryan, Date, and Cook (2009),
one brazen crime occurred in Tennessee whereby the then Hamilton County Sheriff William Horace was
caught on tape taking bribes. Another case is reported by Wines (2014) whereby Virginia governor Bob
McDonnell was indicted on fraud and conspiracy charges. These are the only few cases among several strings
of scandals that have continued to affect the credibility of public service. According to Wines (2014), since
2000, there are eight governors and former governors who have been found guilty of crimes. Doss et al. (2013)
point out that there are ethical dilemmas that exist in all these cases. In a way, one would be right to assert that
it is odd to haul politicians and high profile government officials before judges and prosecutors. Investigators
also have a hard task dealing with such cases especially considering that the persons they are investigating are
of high status in society. This has always created fear among investigators because they have to make hard
choices. The same case applies to prosecutors who feel that ruling a case in favor of a politician would spark

smoldering nearby is a slim wolf, in his early twenties. He sat motionless, the heavy flakes of snow falling

In this play, words function as a mask that characters hide behind, while actions show their true intentions.
Accordingly, after the daughters who have no deep love for their father profess their affection for him in a
mendacious display of emotion, the daughter that loves Lear most, Cordelia, refuses to compliment him,
claiming she cannot heave [her] heart into [her mouth] (1.1.88 89). She decides to rely on the actions of her
past to reveal her affections, however, Lear has yet to accept the value of honesty, so he rails against his
youngest daughter exclaiming Let it be so! Thy truth then be thy dower ...here I disclaim all my paternal care,
propinquity and property of blood, and as a stranger to my heart and me hold thee from this forever. (1.1.110

to divulge his genuine nature. Having lived his whole life like a performance on stage, he feels threatened by
Cordelia s rejection of a false grandeur which Lear, whether he realizes it or not, sees as a personal attack
against his own fabricated identity. Consequently, lashing out from his jealousy for Cordelia s ability to remain

CLIMATE
Climate was an ingredient in early Indian civilizations for several reasons. Monsoons, winds that mark the
seasons, are one of the most immediate. The first monsoon of the season blows from North to Northeast
periodically during November through March. Little rain is present during this monsoon, however what
precipitation does fall, it falls on the Northern slope of the Himilayas. During mid June through October a
second monsoon indicates the Wet Season a.k.a. the southwest monsoon. Following the southwest monsoon,
heavy rains fall in its wake (however sparse rainfall falls on the Western Ghats, the heaviest rainfull occours
over the Ganges Valley and the Eastern Himilayan Mountains). The timing of these winds is critical; too little
or too late rainfall results in an unsuccessful harvest, yet too much or an extended period of rainfall causes
flooding along the country side. Temperatures also play a significant role in how Indian s settled the land in
anchient times. The ideal area the Deccan plateau had mild temperatures in the summer opposed to the
blistering heat of the Western Ghats and valleys which could climb up to one hundred twenty degrees farenheit.

Should Human Reproductive Cloning Be Legal Essay
The matter of human reproductive cloning is a complex topic, in which there are many issues that must be
addressed before any actions take place. Any decision based on reproductive cloning will not be clear cut, and

reproductive cloning is morally appropriate.
First and foremost, it is important to discuss what human cloning is. It is the conception of in vitro embryos
that produces individuals that are exact genetic copies of the donor from whom the DNA was obtained
(Munson 366). In Laymen s terms, cells are inserted from the donor host into an unfertilized egg from another

This theory is applicable to the topic because it is based on doing our moral duty, no matter what our own
desires entail. Our tools in determining the correct action to do are universality and respect for others.
Therefore, any solution of our problems must stem from these necessities. We are hence in search of the
maxims that satisfy the categorical imperative , or the motive force behind our actions ...that determines [our]
moral character (Munson 872).
Initially, we must consider the major possible courses of action. The first possibility is that human cloning is
allowed. Scientists test experiments freely without constraints from the government. To analyze this in the
views of Kantianism, we must apply universalizability or the idea that we must act consistently and apply a
moral maxim to all similar cases (Munson 871). By applying this idea, we now cannot allow this first course of
action to take place. By allowing any sort of experimentation to exist would lead to high probability of birth
defects and can also cause great detriment to the surrogate mother, as discussed above. It simply cannot be
morally permissible to allow this freelance kind of research to occur without monitoring, as the act of
implanting an embryo can be perilous within itself, and is bound to harm someone. By causing harm to a

A Timeless Approach To Health Essay
A Timeless Approach to Health Mental health is a topic that seems to have been hidden away in private, out of
sight but still in the minds of those affected. It is not discussed much in schools, places of business, or even in
many homes, likely because it is stigmatized. Additionally, those who suffer from mental illness may feel
uncomfortable sharing their feelings and experiences with a doctor or counselor, so they face their mental
battles alone. The topic of mental health interests me because I know so many individuals who personally

The problem is not an insufficient quantity of medical treatment the problem is that these medications are not

symptoms of mental illness, some getting worse rather than better. This problem is the focus of my research

anxiety should be thorough and work on the root of these disorders. Of course, these are both very complex
disorders and it can be difficult to identify the root or roots. However, one significant link to mental illness that
needs to be addressed is lifestyle. So, an alternative treatment (a possible solution) for depression and anxiety
would be a change of lifestyle. It seems so basic and obvious that people need to eat a healthy diet, exercise

Blanch Dubois In A Streetcar Named Desire
Ralph Waldo Emerson once ardently said, To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you

She slept with various men and when she got to Laurel, the cunning woman acted as if nothing happened. Her
fantasy began here, where she would purposely make people believe that she was a modest young woman. As
time progressed, she met a guy named Mitch. Falling for her charm, Mitch was blinded by his love for Blanche
and could not see past the real her. When Stanley confronted Mitch about Blanche s true identity, he denied it
and called him a pretentious liar. All Mitch wanted was for Blanche to be his forever so he could not see past
her deceits. Soon enough he started seeing Blanche s true colors, and he could finally confirm that what
Stanley was trying to tell him was accurate. He no longer wanted to marry her because her past lies caught up

Pros And Cons Of Mandatory National Service
The topic of mandatory national service has been around for years now, and there will always be arguments on
whether it should be enforced or not. Some may say that it takes away our freedom, but is it not what gives us
freedom in the first place? The United States military, national service, as well as community service is based
on volunteers. That is what makes this country great, but there are less volunteers as years go by. Crime
increases, streets are not safe anymore, Americans are oblivious to what is happening around the world. There
are so many opportunities to give back to the country, yet, not many care. Today s generation is based on social
trends, and self gratification. There is also the fact that many young people do not know what to do with their
life after high school, some continue to college or focus on work, others do not work nor study. Therefore, all
young men and women should be required to give two years to national service because it can help solve
problems as well as build the community back together.
Having mandatory national service implies that every young person between ages 18 through 25 will be
required to give back to the country through some type of national service. This includes the Military, Peace
Corps, AmeriCorps, and other nonprofit organizations. It does not necessarily involve preparing for combat,
nor risking a life, but helping those in need, making the world a better place by taking care of the environment.
Everyone should have the obligation to serve. John F. Kennedy ones said, A young man who does not have
what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today s military
rejects include tomorrows hard core unemployed. Meaning that national service is something every citizen
should be a part of. After all, it provides young adults with strength and pride of their country, as well as
training in the career they are leaning towards. (Kennedy)
Today s generation think it is okay to treat others with disrespect, and sadly many parents have no recourse to
that kind of behavior. These can be signs to lack of attention. Service activities can help with emotions and

Factors Influencing The Adoption Behavior Of Coffee Producers
Selected explanatory variables
A micro level approach was used in order to test which factors influence the adoption behavior of coffee
producers with regard to SMPs. The model incorporates farm and management characteristics, the
socioeconomic profile of producers and social capital indicators. Table 1 presents the descriptive statistics of
the data collected.
Several factors that were considered are accepted as common predictors of adoption in developing countries.
However, three questions related to explanatory variables were not included in the final questionnaire. Firstly,
we did not take into account access to bank loans since coffee farmers in Mexico are mostly unable to obtain
investment credit from lending institutions. Producers usually have the option of obtaining short term financing
(cash advances) either from local traders or from coffee cooperatives for those who are members. However, the
availability of long term credit has virtually disappeared making it difficult for producers to defer the costs of
implementing new practices over several years (AMECAFE, 2009).
Secondly, tenure arrangements were not considered since households in the sampled area are governed by a
communal land resources committee, an institution independent of the municipality. Under this system,
producers hold usufruct rights to their coffee parcels. While a 1991 amendment to the Mexican constitution
made the privatization of communal lands (ejidos) possible it remains the dominant type

The Pledge Of Allegiance And Star Spangled Banner
The Pledge of Allegiance and Star Spangled Banner are examples of compulsive patriotism in America that not
everyone can see. The Pledge of Allegiance and the Star Spangled Banner are orthodoxes Americans have
recited for many years since they were created during the 1800 s. The Pledge of Allegiance was practiced
everyday in the beginning of class, starting at kindergarten, having all the students and teachers participate. I
do not call to mind ever learning about what the pledge signified or meant. Never did I ask myself why we said
this pledge of allegiance every single day, it was just a mandatory order of each day. The Star Spangled Banner
is the national anthem that is recited before sporting events and official government procedures. Both are
traditions in America that show pride for their country, it s freedom, and history. Since the Pledge of Allegiance
was something that was recited every single school morning, it did not have much importance to me and just
became a school routine, you stand up, place your hand on your heart, say the words, and sit down. Even at one
point it became annoying to me because it was something that was sort of being forced. If you were to not fully
participate you would be scolded by the teacher or given a look. Now that I am older I have learned more about
what it means and understand that it has an emotional meaning to some Americans. The Pledge of Allegiance is
a patriotic vow to the United States to remain loyal and obedient to the country that offers freedom and justice
for all. But why do young kids have to say the Pledge of Allegiance? I believe students should be taught the
history behind the pledge and what every line in it means and denotes. In addition, the students should be at a
more mature age before having to make this promise. Rosenbaum said The America I feel allegiance to isn t
the America that requires compulsory displays of loyalty (Rosenbaum, 56). I agree with what he said because
America is supposedly the land of the free but those free who do not participate are frowned upon and called

The Erie canal was very important to the United States. It was designed to link our nation through

The Erie Canal was a vital part of Henry Clay s plan known as the American System, which was designed to
link our nation through trade and transportation.
The canal that links the waters of Lake Erie to the west of the Hudson River in the east, is the Erie Canal. The
Erie Canal is an example of Henry Clay s vision to harmonize and balance the country s agriculture, economy
and industries. The building of this canal was first proposed in 1808 and was eventually completed in 1824. At
the time, New York State Governor De Witt Clinton envisioned a canal that would link Albany to Buffalo. The
idea was criticized by some and given the name Clinton s ditch . The idea turned out to be a critical turning
point for the country since it opened up many new possibilities. In the early 19th century the transportation of
goods between the east and west was expensive and time consuming. The normal way of transportation before
the canal, was by horse drawn carriages. Then the bold idea of the Erie Canal was proposed to ease the tiring
commute. The Erie canal was intentionally built to open the country west of the Appalachian Mountains to
settlers. The canal would also provide a safe, cheaper way for produce to be carried to various markets. The

The Effects Of Tactile Communication On The Human Resource...
One type of nonverbal communication is haptics. Haptics refers to the study of communication by touch
(Anonymous, 2012). According to Anonymous, 2012, touch is necessary for human social development, and it
can be welcoming, threatening, or persuasive. The meaning of a simple touch differs between individuals,
genders, and cultures. It is important for the Human Resource Manager (HRM) to recognize these differences
in order to improve communication and be effective in the workplace. Tactile communication can help or
hinder business and employee interactions. A firm handshake might be interpreted as confidence or credibility
while other physical touches such as lingering touch on the shoulder, might be seen as being intimate
(Anonymous, 2012). However, a pat on the shoulder or arm might help initiate interactions and show inclusion
and respect. Proper knowledge of tactile differences among employees have important implications on how
interactions unfold and relationships established.
The implications of tactile communication or touch is important to know not only as a HRM but as an
employee working in a diverse workplace.
Since we communicate a great deal through touch, there are benefits by being knowledgeable about this type of

Rough Guide To Exoplanets
Alex s Rough Guide to Exoplanets
Intro
By exploring outer space, astronomers have found distant planets, called exoplanets. Properties of these planets
can be determined by using various techniques and technology.
The definition of an exoplanet is a planet that orbits a star outside our solar system. The first exoplanet was
discovered in 1995.
Nowadays techniques are becoming more refined and by using them predictions can be made based on the
many data points that we have for these planets. For example the presence of certain elements can be detected
via spectroscopy and then that data can be used to aid a prediction into a planet s climate. Because there are so
many factors that determine properties such as climate the more data gathered ... Show more content on

This is because for a planet to be detected it must have an orbit that transits between the observation point and
the star. This means that the planet must orbit in a very specific plane and that the plane becomes smaller for
planets that orbit at a greater distance from their host star. So planets that are detected using the transit method
are usually planets known as Hot Jupiters . To break down this description it means that these planets are
comparable to Jupiter because of their size and density, and are described as being hot due to their closeness to
their host star (usually between 0.015 and 0.05 AU) and the high surface temperature that comes with that
closeness. Also if the host star is small such as a neutron star then the size of the plane that a transit is visible in
is also reduced.
Another drawback is that the amount of false positive candidates is higher than many other methods and it s
thought that, in some cases, as many as 35% of detected planets from Kepler are false. This means that in some
cases follow up investigation is required before a planet can be confirmed. A common source of false positives
is caused by fluctuations in the star s brightness which are not caused due to a transiting planet but are often
hard to differentiate and so they can cause false negatives

John Stuart Mill Is A Man Essay
John Stuart Mill is a man that has been immortalized by the public as both a genius, and a man before his own
time. He has made countless contributions to philosophy, ethics, economics, and politics; he was a man not
afraid to speak his mind, often to a candour level that become expected of Mill s works (Browne 274). This
frankness became attached to Mill s, as he was typically swift and cunning in the disablement of opposing
views and logical backing of his own. However, because of this, and his often debated stances, Mill often faced
scrutiny over his beliefs, from authors such as Matthew Browne. His opponents were often quick to say how
much it pains them to argue against Mill s point of view. As Browne said, To any one who regards the genius

There appears to be debate with regards to definitions of EI. Mayer, Salovey and Caruso (1997, as cited in
Cherniss, 2010) model EI on the ...psychology of emotions, personality theory and mental abilities (p.112)
seeking to develop an original and different type of intelligence. In contrast, Boyatzis, Goleman and Sala
(2004, as cited in Cherniss, 2010) characterise EI as encompassing emotional and social competencies related
to workplace performance. However, Bar On s model of EI (1998, as cited in Cherniss, 2010) as emotional and
socially competent conduct, enabling successful adaptation to the pressures and demands on one s
environment, would seem to lend itself most adaptably to health care administration.
Dickens (n.d.) emphasises the limitations of IQ testing in a variety of areas due to its focus on geometry,
mathematics and general knowledge. These include concerns of cultural bias resulting from limited access to
knowledge, the effect of inheritable factors, gender differences and sensitivity to environment (Dickens, n.d.).
Schmidt and Hunter (2004) also support limitations of IQ by suggesting that it may be less instrumental in job
outcomes and performance where the variances of specific jobs are dependent on the type of organization
involved. Schmidt and Hunter (2004) explain that although job description and skills are the same in some
professions, they may differ between organisations by way of the criteria required

Essay On Dante s Inferno
See no Evil. Hear no Evil. Do no Evil.
Trapped up to his waist in ice, Dante s Satan with his warped wings pushes freezing gusts of air throughout the
caverns of the ninth circle of hell. With him, the worst of all sinners are warped into fantastical shapes while
encased in the frigid ice. They are the betrayers of love, the godly ideal of voluntary benefaction, and now must
spend eternity without warmth or light. Nothing is felt; by being a traitor to their state or their benefactor, they
have lost their right to God s love, condemned in the center of the Earth.
I admire Satan in this situation the rejected angel thrown deep into Hell because of his power over his realm.
His wings freeze the ice and trap both him and the sinners within it, and his heads, a warped holy trinity,
continually chew on the three apparently worst humans in history: Judas, Cassius, and Brutus. Thrust into this
duty of penultimate torturer, Satan delivers the worst treatment of all of the sins because he too is deserving of
it. The power of reciprocal judgment would be the greatest way to force me to become a perfect human. With
this, I would be willing to give up my sense of touch, as those surrounding Satan must also do. ... Show more

Research Paper On Paul s Thorn
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly
therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take
pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ s sake: for when I
am weak, then am I strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9,10 The word thorn speaks volumes on its own, we can relate
immediately to thoughts of sufferings, pain, trouble, humiliation and physical ailments. Paul s thorn remains
vague and cryptic, so that all of us with a thorn may readily relate and hopefully apply the spiritual lessons in
this passage of scripture, into our own lives. Some say Paul s thorn had to do with his eye condition, possibly
from the light that shown on him when he was traveling to Damascus, I m not so sure (we will go into that
another day), others say Paul s thorn is attributed to the origin of demonic activity permitted by God, still
others believe Paul s thorn was given to him to keep him from becoming proud over revelations he had
received from God. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
So what is and how can God s Grace work in our lives to help us live with our own thorns? Our first thoughts
of grace may be poise, finesse, beauty and agility. Still, God s Grace is sufficient, it is adequate for the purpose
and it is enough for us. Grace is God s presence, God s favor and God s power. It is a force, a heavenly strength
given to those of us who will call upon God. This grace will rest on faithful believers who accept their
weaknesses, sicknesses and difficulties for the Gospels sake. See Philippians

When a customer buys a bottle of Champagne she buys a bottle of good quality wine. She also pays for the fact
that the wine is exclusive, it is from the region of Champagne and that is something that differentiates it from
other sparkling wine. This is something the customer experiences as added value to the product. However, this
value does not count as much when the product becomes available to a bigger number of customers. It looses
its exclusiveness. When it comes to sparkling wine that is not from Champagne the Spanish Cava and the
Italian Prosecco have long been two popular varieties. Today, in the UK, there is also a growing interest in
sparkling wine from the United Kingdom
Target Segmentation
Market segmentation is the process of dividing a market into segments or groups that have identifiable
differences between them. For the wine industry, we will be using 4 bases of marketing segments divide the

A tidal salt marsh is a community of plants and animals that thrive in wet saline conditions (ADBC, 2010),
which rely on the tides to bring nutrients, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous. As the tide leaves the
wetlands, pools are exposed which shorebirds can feed on larvae without competition from fish that was
impossible during the time period of water diversion and dam construction. The land became baron; an area of
waste land, until 1967, when the water originally diverted for irrigation of fields, was redirected to the lowland
area. In 2006, a tidal inlet was successfully opened after 107 years, allowing the tide to flow to various parts of
the wetlands which had previously been closed off (ADBC, 2010).
During the process of Bolsa Chica environmental change, much has been learned about ecosystem destruction
and restoration. Wetland areas are as Wright states among the most productive ecosystems on earth, rich in
breeding grounds for many species of fish, shellfish, and waterfowl (2008). Interfering with the natural
biogeochemical cycles can have devastating effects, completely wiping out ecosystems. Lessons learned are
valuable for other restoration projects, many of which are in progress throughout the United States (U.S.).

Differences In Joseph L. Mankiewicz s The Quiet American
In America in the 1950 s there was a massive fear of communism. During this time in Vietnam, the Communist
North and the Colonialistic French controlled South, waged war against each other. This is brought together in
peace by Joseph L. Mankiewicz s 1958 film adaptation of The Quiet American. He does so by highlighting key
differences in the novel to give a completely different perspective. The novel, written by Graham Greene
shows the two central characters; Fowler, a British journalist and Pyle, a young idealistic American in Vietnam.
Granted there are very few differences between film and novel that affect the character s development in the
story, these differences change the way the characters are looked at and how their personalities come ... Show

Mankiewicz most successfully illustrates the adaptations between the characters in the novel and film. In the
scene, it starts off with a shot of Fowler dining by himself, where it is quiet. Then out of nowhere there is an
explosion in the square startling Fowler, as he quickly realizes where Phuong might be he rushes out of the
restaurant. The next shot shows all the destruction from the bomb as Fowler goes outside. As we watch Fowler
try and fight through the crowd unsuccessfully we see how unhelpful he is to Phuong. From there we see Pyle
burst into the scene like a knight in shining armor riding on an ambulance, making Fowler look even more
miniscule and useless. Following Pyle s entrance to the scene, Fowler joins the all too heroic American on the
ambulance where he immediately starts accusing him of his involvement to the bombing. Fowler being too
caught up in the lies Mr. Heng told him, he doesn t realize or seem to care about the severity of the situation.
Pyle is actually forced to yell at Fowler, shut up and help someone . Which shows how obsessed he is with
showing everyone how the American is bad. He wants to put a damper on the way the American is looked at,
not as the hero, but as the villain. This in the end keeps true to the original thought of Pyle being the heroic
humanitarian he was perceived to

Gender Wage Gap Inequality And Gender Inequality Essay
Armando Suqui Carchi
Professor Pantano
English 201
13 December 2016
Gender Wage Gap Inequality The gender wage inequality topic is one that has quietly laid in Americas closet
of problems for decades. A female worker in Louisiana makes on average an alarming sixty six cents compared
to the dollar a man makes in twenty sixteen. When a father comes home after a forty hour long work week
making fifteen dollars an hour, he will open up a paycheck to six hundred dollars. When a mother comes home
after working the same hours as the father, she will prepare dinner, change your diaper, lay you down to sleep.
The only difference is her paycheck reads three hundred ninety six dollars. It is only getting more challenging
for females in today s society as well. A defining term in the last two decades pertaining to gender wage gap
inequality is the glass elevator effect. More men are choosing female dominated jobs such as nursing, teaching
etc. While females slowly try to advance by increasing their salaries and rise up to higher paying and important
positions, men seem to effortless glide their way to the top by an invisible escalator. This is called the glass
elevator effect (Forbes). In America, this problem may go unnoticed, it is an issue dealing with cultural sexism.
The broader impact of this is generations of women doing their best to advance in society but somehow
constantly being beat. The specific claim of this topic is to bring justice and equality to women across in

Life Is A Loss Of Life
Life is a given but death is where life is being taken away and within this time people mourn people are sad
emotion and confused and question why this had happened. I was 11 years old when I experienced my first
official lost and my heart had felt like it had shattered into millions of pieces and all of a sudden where you
thought you were full of joy a cloud of darkness comes over you. With this type of darkness it s more than just
grief because if you compare a lost thing such as a toy you can replace it or have a chance to find it again but in
this case you are left with a place in the ground to visit and there s no way or finding it s a lost item that will
not be able to be retrieved again. I lost my a family member but she was so much more to me she was my best

The Definition Of Effective Leadership
Definition of effective leadership
Most historians rank George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Theodore Roosevelt as
America s finest leaders. Agreement on their quality is so strong, in fact, that in the 1920s, their likenesses
were immortalized on Mount Rushmore, which has since become an iconic symbol of great leadership.
On the other end of the spectrum, Warren G. Harding, Pierce, James Buchanan, and George W. Bush are
ranked as among our worst leaders. Herbert Hoover, John Tyler, and Millard Fillmore sank to the bottom as
well.
The unanimity among these rankings suggests that the qualities that make an effective leader do not change
with place and time, with the governed body or with the situation. America s sixth president, John Quincy
Adams, defined leadership this way: If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and
become more, you are a leader. I agree that effective leadership is distinguished by four critical qualities:
passion, vision, emotional intelligence, and confidence. Leaders who possess these qualities are able to make a
positive impact on their institution as Adams did, improving American life through his strong hand on the
wheel of the ship.
Without a leader s clear vision and guidance, a business is like a ship drifting aimlessly. The leader s vision
provides the map, establishing a path that leads to the desired destination. Effective leaders create clear,
concise visions that identify the key actions

Where The Grand Canyon And Lake Mead Collide
Where the Grand Canyon and Lake Mead collide, sits an ecological and historical oasis. The Virgin Mountains
stand tall in the background as waterfront views of Mead paint an unforgettable scene. This desert abode
served as host for early prehistoric inhabitants, Native Americans, early pioneers, Spanish miners, and
presently outdoor enthusiasts. Adventurists have the opportunity to explore over 800 miles of intertwining
roads that braid the landscape. Gold Butte has remained one of Mojave s most precious secrets for decades.
This elegant desert hides only an hour and a half drive east of Las Vegas and just south of Mesquite Nevada.
Gold Butte s ecosystem is comprised of diverse organisms, many of which are sacred and protected plants and
animals. Joshua trees sit nestled deep in the mineral enriched sand, while the bighorn sheep and tortoise roam
the vast desert terrain. The almost 350,000 acres of public land is sculpted with rugged mountains, sandstone
outcroppings, yucca forests, slot canyons, and flat top mesas. Is it possible that a place with such a unique array
of wildlife and history can exist and remain a secret? Unfortunately, due to many factors over the past 20 years,
Gold Butte has been on center stage, but not just for tourism.
The technological uses of smart phones, GPS, digital maps, internet, and even social websites have made it
inherently impossible to keep public lands a secret. However, Gold Butte s fame did not sprout from

Of the three main sports that I play, basketball seems to be my favorite. It challenges endurance, speed, accuracy, agility, and strength. I feel guilty not knowing who created the game that takes up most of my free time. It is time for me to learn about the inventor and the games past.

In 1861, James worked at the YMCA Training School, where he earned his physical education degree, as a physical education teacher. He was asked to invent a game by Luther Gulick, who was head of the Physical Education Department at the school. Gulick wanted it to be something that wasn t too rough, and could be played indoors. A game that would serve as some kind of distraction for the disruptive students in order to keep them out of trouble during the winter. The students were growing sick of the long winter and began to moan and pick on one another. Naismith was given fourteen days to accomplish this requested task.

I used time management to complete assignments on time. For example, I would complete my discussion posts a day before they were due or I would reflect on my postings with turning in the portfolio early. Because I turned assignments in on time or even early, I would evaluate my own work through comprehending the productions in a manageable amount of time. I also created a strategy to help me be successful. I would read the articles and the videos associated with the production before watching the show. This would help me understand the production better by the little details of the theme and character evaluations. I also would write notes for each production to help prepare for the discussion postings and quizzes. This helped me remember details of the show and for reviewing purposes before the quiz.

Extreme Apathy in John Guare s Six Degrees of Separation Many authors go to great lengths to explore the limits of human experience, testing realms beyond the imagination. Anything from physical boundaries to social boundaries are broken and thus redefined; Kafka explores the life of a man turned into a bug, Nabokov examines the life of a man ruled by a sexual desire that is taboo. With so much effort focused on the extremes of life, one work, a play by John Guare entitled Six Degrees of Separation, stands out.

How then, do we go about proving that the experience does not mark them indelibly, as they claim it does? By examining the characters entrances, the structure of the play, and the art within the play, we can more fully understand whether we trust the characters. Also, since there is one admitted con artist among the group, he serves as a valuable standard against whom we may measure the others. After we decide whether Flan and Ouisa have indeed experienced a life changing event, the question that remains is whether there is enough depth, enough substance to their lives so that they can learn and change from the experience. In the final scene, Ouisa desperately laments the state of their lives, shallow and pointless, and makes a break from Flan. Based upon all that we know from examining Flan and Ouisa throughout the play, can we believe that Ouisa has truly made a break and found a way to keep ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Full Range Leadership Development Paper Full Range Leadership Development (FRLD) and effective communication plays an essential role in employee satisfaction and is linked to productivity and the financial success of an organization. Dissatisfaction can result in people providing less attention to care in their job performance and eventually quitting. According to (Daft, 2012) One secret for the success in organization is motivated and engaged employees (p.451). Motivated employees are very important for the success of the project, unmotivated employees are unlikely to work hard or to be productive when compared to motivated employees. According to (DeRosa, 2010) Treat people as you expect to be treated (p.73). Example; we should provide monetary rewards, like gift cards or praising them for their efforts in front of their peers like in a huddle or in meetings. Successful leaders use a variety of methods to motivate and lead the individuals they are responsible for.

Almost everyone was alleged that stock markets and securities market are highly efficient in response to any new information in the market. It was argued that when information regarding factors influencing market arises, the information spread like wild fire in the market and the prices of stocks adjust accordingly without any delay.

In some journal an interesting example related to the idea of random walk is that random walk is like a blindfolded chimpanzee throwing darts at Wall Street and selects any portfolio which yields equal to the portfolio selected by any expert. The idea of random walk is just like throwing a towel on the stock of different category to formulate an appropriate portfolio at lower cost. Most of the investors try to select the securities which are mis priced undervalued due to the reason that in future price of these securities will increase and they are able to outperform the market. The portfolio managers identify the securities which are able to outperform the market and they use variety of different techniques to predict the performance of the securities and stock. The financial analysis gives comparative advantage to the investors which results in substantial profits. The efficient market hypothesis argues that any technique is not capable to generate excess due to dependable predictability of stock and securities return. The efficient market hypothesis argues that it is very difficult to predict the future stock return and also the predictions are not consistent.

  • 8. European Colonialism In The Film Pelo Malo We often villainize the countries of Latin America, making them out as lands filled with violent, less civilized, poor people. Those who are uneducated about Latin America and the culture may apply the things they know about one culture in Latin America or the Caribbean to other countries in the area. We don t realize that some of the stereotypes are directly influenced by the legacies left by European colonialism. Scholars studying colonialism have determined five colonial legacies that are seen in many post colonial countries. These colonial legacies are authoritarian government, power of the Roman Catholic Church, a social hierarchy, economic dependency, and the large landed estate.

Both were subject to work under the Spanish, but African slaves seemingly received harsher treatment. Natives were expected to provide labor, but this was not to the same degree as the Africans who s fate lie in the hands of their masters. (Wright, 22 24). This order clearly places people of color below those of European, which is the major part of the hierarchy that has persisted into the modern era. Though some Latin American societies have attempted to end this legacy, by egalitarianism in Cuba (Wright, 225) or the creation of the first black republic in Haiti, many other areas had persisting threads of the legacy weaved into their peoples everyday lives. In Pelo Malo, the scene in the school shows an example of a society breaking away from the social hierarchy. During colonial times, only men who were Spaniards or Creoles could obtain an education. Women or people in a lower class were unable to be educated formally (Wright, 23). However, the film shows the school to be filed with both girls and boys, from a variety of social classes it seems. There were children who looked like they could have been of full Spanish descent sitting next to people like Junior who were of mixed race. Having this integration helps break the expectation of a hierarchy in the children s minds, which may lead to even less use of the hierarchal social order.

The American War for Independence, the French Revolution and the Haitian Revolution were all decisive events in world history that would lead to dramatic change in the respective societies. Countless documents were written about each of these exchanges, but only a few capture what each movement stood for and what was being fought for in the situation. These documents include: Common Sense by Thomas Paine, the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America, What is The Third Estate?

Each of these revolutions were caused by an uneasy social and political climate in their societies by a ruling group of people who were eventually ousted from the respective countries and firmly established the global decline of absolute monarchies. These now empty political seats would be used to authorize a republic or democracy. Each of these revolutions were also prompted by documents that were circulated widely and evoked enough rational thought and persuasive prose that caused the wars to be planned and commenced. For the American War of Independence, this would be Common Sense, written by Thomas Paine. The French Revolution and Haitian Revolution were influenced by the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (the Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen would be written shortly after) and What is the Third Estate? written by Abbé Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès.

Some of these dilemmas include administrative discretion and nepotism. First, investigators and administrators have to maintain the highest levels of discretion while making decisions regarding particular cases (Padfield Gelsthorpe, 2012). The question that many people, therefore, ask is whether these decisions are justified or not.

Ethical Dilemmas with Governmental Crime, and Public Corruption in the News. Most of the news stories today report on several scandals involving high profile government officials with corruption being the major criminal aspect. In a news story reported by Thomas, Ryan, Date, and Cook (2009), one brazen crime occurred in Tennessee whereby the then Hamilton County Sheriff William Horace was caught on tape taking bribes. Another case is reported by Wines (2014) whereby Virginia governor Bob McDonnell was indicted on fraud and conspiracy charges. These are the only few cases among several strings of scandals that have continued to affect the credibility of public service. According to Wines (2014), since 2000, there are eight governors and former governors who have been found guilty of crimes. Doss et al. (2013) point out that there are ethical dilemmas that exist in all these cases. In a way, one would be right to assert that it is odd to haul politicians and high profile government officials before judges and prosecutors. Investigators also have a hard task dealing with such cases especially considering that the persons they are investigating are of high status in society. This has always created fear among investigators because they have to make hard choices. The same case applies to prosecutors who feel that ruling a case in favor of a politician would spark public outcry. However, they ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

He squirmed to rest on all fours, retching in the snow, whatever food he had in his stomach now mixed with the snow and ice on the ground.

It could mean anything from the inherent character or basic constitution of a person or thing to the external world in its entirety to a spontaneous attitude (Merriam Webster). However, despite its many forms, in its essence, nature as a concept implicates powerlessness for individuals. It will always be something that is beyond human control, whether it be the forces that work around people such as weather or animals, or the innate and uncontrollable characteristics within one s personality. Nature has control over the world, and one can decide to either fight this authority or succumb to it. This idea is seen very ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In this play, words function as a mask that characters hide behind, while actions show their true intentions. Accordingly, after the daughters who have no deep love for their father profess their affection for him in a mendacious display of emotion, the daughter that loves Lear most, Cordelia, refuses to compliment him, claiming she cannot heave [her] heart into [her mouth] (1.1.88 89). She decides to rely on the actions of her past to reveal her affections, however, Lear has yet to accept the value of honesty, so he rails against his youngest daughter exclaiming Let it be so! Thy truth then be thy dower ...here I disclaim all my paternal care, propinquity and property of blood, and as a stranger to my heart and me hold thee from this forever. (1.1.110 115). Both Lear s strong reaction and his rejection of truth and honesty reflect his own insecurities and inability to divulge his genuine nature. Having lived his whole life like a performance on stage, he feels threatened by Cordelia s rejection of a false grandeur which Lear, whether he realizes it or not, sees as a personal attack against his own fabricated identity. Consequently, lashing out from his jealousy for Cordelia s ability to remain true to herself, Lear acts against his better judgment by banishing her, and foreshadows the ironic trajectory of this story.

Should Human Reproductive Cloning Be Legal Essay The matter of human reproductive cloning is a complex topic, in which there are many issues that must be addressed before any actions take place. Any decision based on reproductive cloning will not be clear cut, and instead will host a multitude of ideas. In this paper, I will determine, through philosophical thinking, if human reproductive cloning is morally appropriate. First and foremost, it is important to discuss what human cloning is. It is the conception of in vitro embryos that produces individuals that are exact genetic copies of the donor from whom the DNA was obtained (Munson 366). In Laymen s terms, cells are inserted from the donor host into an unfertilized egg from another host (meaning it is asexual) and the new egg is ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This theory is applicable to the topic because it is based on doing our moral duty, no matter what our own desires entail. Our tools in determining the correct action to do are universality and respect for others. Therefore, any solution of our problems must stem from these necessities. We are hence in search of the maxims that satisfy the categorical imperative , or the motive force behind our actions ...that determines [our] moral character (Munson 872). Initially, we must consider the major possible courses of action. The first possibility is that human cloning is allowed. Scientists test experiments freely without constraints from the government. To analyze this in the views of Kantianism, we must apply universalizability or the idea that we must act consistently and apply a moral maxim to all similar cases (Munson 871). By applying this idea, we now cannot allow this first course of action to take place. By allowing any sort of experimentation to exist would lead to high probability of birth defects and can also cause great detriment to the surrogate mother, as discussed above. It simply cannot be morally permissible to allow this freelance kind of research to occur without monitoring, as the act of implanting an embryo can be perilous within itself, and is bound to harm someone. By causing harm to a person, we are then causing the person to suffer. Causing a person to suffer goes ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Additionally, those who suffer from mental illness may feel uncomfortable sharing their feelings and experiences with a doctor or counselor, so they face their mental battles alone.

  • 23. Pros And Cons Of Mandatory National Service The topic of mandatory national service has been around for years now, and there will always be arguments on whether it should be enforced or not. Some may say that it takes away our freedom, but is it not what gives us freedom in the first place? The United States military, national service, as well as community service is based on volunteers. That is what makes this country great, but there are less volunteers as years go by. Crime increases, streets are not safe anymore, Americans are oblivious to what is happening around the world. There are so many opportunities to give back to the country, yet, not many care. Today s generation is based on social trends, and self gratification. There is also the fact that many young people do not know what to do with their life after high school, some continue to college or focus on work, others do not work nor study. Therefore, all young men and women should be required to give two years to national service because it can help solve problems as well as build the community back together. Having mandatory national service implies that every young person between ages 18 through 25 will be required to give back to the country through some type of national service. This includes the Military, Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, and other nonprofit organizations. It does not necessarily involve preparing for combat, nor risking a life, but helping those in need, making the world a better place by taking care of the environment. Everyone should have the obligation to serve. John F. Kennedy ones said, A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today s military rejects include tomorrows hard core unemployed. Meaning that national service is something every citizen should be a part of. After all, it provides young adults with strength and pride of their country, as well as training in the career they are leaning towards.

Factors Influencing The Adoption Behavior Of Coffee Producers Selected explanatory variables A micro level approach was used in order to test which factors influence the adoption behavior of coffee producers with regard to SMPs. The model incorporates farm and management characteristics, the socioeconomic profile of producers and social capital indicators. Table 1 presents the descriptive statistics of the data collected. Several factors that were considered are accepted as common predictors of adoption in developing countries. However, three questions related to explanatory variables were not included in the final questionnaire. Firstly, we did not take into account access to bank loans since coffee farmers in Mexico are mostly unable to obtain investment credit from lending institutions. Producers usually have the option of obtaining short term financing (cash advances) either from local traders or from coffee cooperatives for those who are members. However, the availability of long term credit has virtually disappeared making it difficult for producers to defer the costs of implementing new practices over several years (AMECAFE, 2009). Secondly, tenure arrangements were not considered since households in the sampled area are governed by a communal land resources committee, an institution independent of the municipality. Under this system, producers hold usufruct rights to their coffee parcels.

  • 26. The Pledge Of Allegiance And Star Spangled Banner The Pledge of Allegiance and Star Spangled Banner are examples of compulsive patriotism in America that not everyone can see. The Pledge of Allegiance and the Star Spangled Banner are orthodoxes Americans have recited for many years since they were created during the 1800 s. The Pledge of Allegiance was practiced everyday in the beginning of class, starting at kindergarten, having all the students and teachers participate. I do not call to mind ever learning about what the pledge signified or meant. Never did I ask myself why we said this pledge of allegiance every single day, it was just a mandatory order of each day. The Star Spangled Banner is the national anthem that is recited before sporting events and official government procedures. Both are traditions in America that show pride for their country, it s freedom, and history. Since the Pledge of Allegiance was something that was recited every single school morning, it did not have much importance to me and just became a school routine, you stand up, place your hand on your heart, say the words, and sit down. Even at one point it became annoying to me because it was something that was sort of being forced. If you were to not fully participate you would be scolded by the teacher or given a look. Now that I am older I have learned more about what it means and understand that it has an emotional meaning to some Americans. The Pledge of Allegiance is a patriotic vow to the United States to remain loyal and obedient to the country that offers freedom and justice for all. But why do young kids have to say the Pledge of Allegiance? I believe students should be taught the history behind the pledge and what every line in it means and denotes. In addition, the students should be at a more mature age before having to make this promise. Rosenbaum said The America I feel allegiance to isn t the America that requires compulsory displays of loyalty (Rosenbaum, 56).

The canal that links the waters of Lake Erie to the west of the Hudson River in the east, is the Erie Canal. The Erie Canal is an example of Henry Clay s vision to harmonize and balance the country s agriculture, economy and industries.

The idea was criticized by some and given the name Clinton s ditch . The idea turned out to be a critical turning point for the country since it opened up many new possibilities. In the early 19th century the transportation of goods between the east and west was expensive and time consuming. The normal way of transportation before the canal, was by horse drawn carriages.

According to Anonymous, 2012, touch is necessary for human social development, and it can be welcoming, threatening, or persuasive. The meaning of a simple touch differs between individuals, genders, and cultures. It is important for the Human Resource Manager (HRM) to recognize these differences in order to improve communication and be effective in the workplace. Tactile communication can help or hinder business and employee interactions. A firm handshake might be interpreted as confidence or credibility while other physical touches such as lingering touch on the shoulder, might be seen as being intimate (Anonymous, 2012). However, a pat on the shoulder or arm might help initiate interactions and show inclusion and respect. Proper knowledge of tactile differences among employees have important implications on how interactions unfold and relationships established. The implications of tactile communication or touch is important to know not only as a HRM but as an employee working in a diverse workplace. Since we communicate a great deal through touch, there are benefits by being knowledgeable about this type of nonverbal communication and the differences among various ethnic groups.

Properties of these planets can be determined by using various techniques and technology. The definition of an exoplanet is a planet that orbits a star outside our solar system. The first exoplanet was discovered in 1995. Nowadays techniques are becoming more refined and by using them predictions can be made based on the many data points that we have for these planets. For example the presence of certain elements can be detected via spectroscopy and then that data can be used to aid a prediction into a planet s climate. Because there are so many factors that determine properties such as climate the more data gathered ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is because for a planet to be detected it must have an orbit that transits between the observation point and the star. This means that the planet must orbit in a very specific plane and that the plane becomes smaller for planets that orbit at a greater distance from their host star. So planets that are detected using the transit method are usually planets known as Hot Jupiters . To break down this description it means that these planets are comparable to Jupiter because of their size and density, and are described as being hot due to their closeness to their host star (usually between 0.015 and 0.05 AU) and the high surface temperature that comes with that closeness. Also if the host star is small such as a neutron star then the size of the plane that a transit is visible in is also reduced. Another drawback is that the amount of false positive candidates is higher than many other methods and it s thought that, in some cases, as many as 35% of detected planets from Kepler are false. This means that in some cases follow up investigation is required before a planet can be confirmed. A common source of false positives is caused by fluctuations in the star s brightness which are not caused due to a transiting planet but are often hard to differentiate and so they can cause false negatives ...

  • 41. Essay On Dante s Inferno See no Evil. Hear no Evil. Do no Evil. Trapped up to his waist in ice, Dante s Satan with his warped wings pushes freezing gusts of air throughout the caverns of the ninth circle of hell. With him, the worst of all sinners are warped into fantastical shapes while encased in the frigid ice. They are the betrayers of love, the godly ideal of voluntary benefaction, and now must spend eternity without warmth or light. Nothing is felt; by being a traitor to their state or their benefactor, they have lost their right to God s love, condemned in the center of the Earth. I admire Satan in this situation the rejected angel thrown deep into Hell because of his power over his realm. His wings freeze the ice and trap both him and the sinners within it, and his heads, a warped holy trinity, continually chew on the three apparently worst humans in history: Judas, Cassius, and Brutus. Thrust into this duty of penultimate torturer, Satan delivers the worst treatment of all of the sins because he too is deserving of it. The power of reciprocal judgment would be the greatest way to force me to become a perfect human. With this, I would be willing to give up my sense of touch, as those surrounding Satan must also do. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... A mispronounced word. An awkward glance.

Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Paul s thorn remains vague and cryptic, so that all of us with a thorn may readily relate and hopefully apply the spiritual lessons in this passage of scripture, into our own lives. Some say Paul s thorn had to do with his eye condition, possibly from the light that shown on him when he was traveling to Damascus, I m not so sure (we will go into that another day), others say Paul s thorn is attributed to the origin of demonic activity permitted by God, still others believe Paul s thorn was given to him to keep him from becoming proud over revelations he had received from God. ...

A tidal salt marsh is a community of plants and animals that thrive in wet saline conditions (ADBC, 2010), which rely on the tides to bring nutrients, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous. As the tide leaves the wetlands, pools are exposed which shorebirds can feed on larvae without competition from fish that was impossible during the time period of water diversion and dam construction. The land became baron; an area of waste land, until 1967, when the water originally diverted for irrigation of fields, was redirected to the lowland area. In 2006, a tidal inlet was successfully opened after 107 years, allowing the tide to flow to various parts of the wetlands which had previously been closed off (ADBC, 2010).

Wetland areas are as Wright states among the most productive ecosystems on earth, rich in breeding grounds for many species of fish, shellfish, and waterfowl (2008).

During this time in Vietnam, the Communist North and the Colonialistic French controlled South, waged war against each other. This is brought together in peace by Joseph L. Mankiewicz s 1958 film adaptation of The Quiet American. He does so by highlighting key differences in the novel to give a completely different perspective. The novel, written by Graham Greene shows the two central characters; Fowler, a British journalist and Pyle, a young idealistic American in Vietnam. Granted there are very few differences between film and novel that affect the character s development in the story, these differences change the way the characters are looked at and how their personalities come ...

In the scene, it starts off with a shot of Fowler dining by himself, where it is quiet. Then out of nowhere there is an explosion in the square startling Fowler, as he quickly realizes where Phuong might be he rushes out of the restaurant. The next shot shows all the destruction from the bomb as Fowler goes outside. As we watch Fowler try and fight through the crowd unsuccessfully we see how unhelpful he is to Phuong. From there we see Pyle burst into the scene like a knight in shining armor riding on an ambulance, making Fowler look even more miniscule and useless. Following Pyle s entrance to the scene, Fowler joins the all too heroic American on the ambulance where he immediately starts accusing him of his involvement to the bombing. Fowler being too caught up in the lies Mr. Heng told him, he doesn t realize or seem to care about the severity of the situation. Pyle is actually forced to yell at Fowler, shut up and help someone . Which shows how obsessed he is with showing everyone how the American is bad. He wants to put a damper on the way the American is looked at, not as the hero, but as the villain.

A female worker in Louisiana makes on average an alarming sixty six cents compared to the dollar a man makes in twenty sixteen. When a father comes home after a forty hour long work week making fifteen dollars an hour, he will open up a paycheck to six hundred dollars. When a mother comes home after working the same hours as the father, she will prepare dinner, change your diaper, lay you down to sleep. The only difference is her paycheck reads three hundred ninety six dollars. It is only getting more challenging for females in today s society as well. A defining term in the last two decades pertaining to gender wage gap inequality is the glass elevator effect. More men are choosing female dominated jobs such as nursing, teaching etc. While females slowly try to advance by increasing their salaries and rise up to higher paying and important positions, men seem to effortless glide their way to the top by an invisible escalator. This is called the glass elevator effect (Forbes). In America, this problem may go unnoticed, it is an issue dealing with cultural sexism. The broader impact of this is generations of women doing their best to advance in society but somehow constantly being beat.

  • 50. The Definition Of Effective Leadership Definition of effective leadership Most historians rank George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Theodore Roosevelt as America s finest leaders. Agreement on their quality is so strong, in fact, that in the 1920s, their likenesses were immortalized on Mount Rushmore, which has since become an iconic symbol of great leadership. On the other end of the spectrum, Warren G. Harding, Pierce, James Buchanan, and George W. Bush are ranked as among our worst leaders. Herbert Hoover, John Tyler, and Millard Fillmore sank to the bottom as well. The unanimity among these rankings suggests that the qualities that make an effective leader do not change with place and time, with the governed body or with the situation. America s sixth president, John Quincy Adams, defined leadership this way: If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader. I agree that effective leadership is distinguished by four critical qualities: passion, vision, emotional intelligence, and confidence. Leaders who possess these qualities are able to make a positive impact on their institution as Adams did, improving American life through his strong hand on the wheel of the ship. Without a leader s clear vision and guidance, a business is like a ship drifting aimlessly. The leader s vision provides the map, establishing a path that leads to the desired destination.

Adventurists have the opportunity to explore over 800 miles of intertwining roads that braid the landscape. Gold Butte has remained one of Mojave s most precious secrets for decades.
