A Study On Inverted Topography
Abstract
Inverted topography in a different of scales from large scale to fine scale has been observed in
numerous localities on Martian surface. Also, Inverted wadis in Western Desert of Egypt in seven sites
cover an area of about 26.000 square kilometers, provide us a natural museum for a different of scales,
mechanisms of development, and planimetric patterns. Therefore, we carried out field study in four
sites of inverted wadis in Gabal El Na aloon, east of Baharyia, west of Ghard Abu Moharik, and west
of Tahta city rane with laboratory analysis for collected samples. In this paper, we shed light on the
morphological, sedimentological, and mineralogical aspects of inverted wadis in Western Desert of
Egypt. We conclude that the majority of minerals which led to the cementation of inverted wadis in
visited sites, are calcite, iron oxide, gypsum, illite, magnesite, alunite, vermiculite, aerinite, surite,
hematite, silicon oxide, epidote, magnetite, and clay. In addition, the grain size distribution for 18
samples of inverted wadis in two localities ranges from ( 6 to 4.5 ɸ scale), with boulders are
commonly 1 m in diameter. Lastly, inverted topography on Mars as a landform is extremely valuable
to give us detailed data about paleoenvironmental conditions, including paleohydrological and
sedimentological, this is making it an important candidate sites for landing.

Large scale industry consolidation, a global slowdown in category growth, significant increase in
input costs and cost pressures and above all, an unprecedented economic crisis unfolding in the second
half of the year. Against this backdrop, Heineken delivered strong organic growth in net profit of 11
per cent, revenue growth of more than 27 per cent (7 per cent organic) and 16 per cent increase in
Group volume (4 per cent organic). However, the exceptional economic circumstances required the
company to reduce the value of goodwill in Russia, its investment in India and in its pub portfolios in
the UK . These non cash exceptional charges, together with low profit contributions of new businesses
and the related financing costs resulted in a substantially lower reported net profit. Looking back over
the last three years, Heineken has become more resilient, performance driven and competitive. They
have achieved an average top line growth of 16.5 per cent per year and grown the Heineken® volume
in the premium segment by 3.4 million hectolitres, an average of 7.3 per cent per year. They are more
efficient thanks to the successful delivery of more than €450 million of cost savings between 2006 and
2008 linked to their Fit2Fight programme. And they have a much stronger global footprint.[1]

At this time, Jesus came like a thief in the night, to see to the death and removal of his followers, lest
they fall into the trap of worshiping the delusion. No one saw him come or go. They were sent to a

The world became an endless graveyard with millions of dead Christians strewn wherever they had
fallen. Mounds of dead bodies filled every vacant lot in every city and country, waiting to be set
aflame. Gathering dead Christians became the number one priority for the world. Once again,
mankind believed they were witnessing the supernatural powers of a madman. Soon the sky above
Jerusalem turned from blue to white because of the strangest phenomenon ever to appear. It was not a

European Colonialism, Imperialism, and Cultural...
European Imperialism and Cultural Superiority
Many factors contributed to the colonization of Africa by European powers between 1895 and 1905.
Among these factors were the effects of European history, the growing capitalist economy, and the
growing competition between European powers. Most important was the belief that European culture
was superior to African culture. During the height of imperialism, the vast majority of the African
continent was controlled by Europe (ìExtentî 19). It is important to understand what gave the
momentum for European dominance at the time.
Imperialism is present in European history, beginning with the Roman Empire (Lenin). Lugard

Europeans found opportunity to create monopolies in the newly conquered lands (Lenin). It was also
necessary to find new sources of raw materials, in order to keep production going (Hobson). This was
largely a result of the Industrial Revolution (Hobson). Increased demand for raw materials led to
increased demand for imperialism (Lenin). Cecil Rhodes, a British advocate for imperialism, believed
it would solve Englandís domestic economic problems (Lenin). People who were likely to gain wealth
from colonization further pushed the movement (Schumpeter).
The element of competition between European powers played a role in imperialism in Africa. When
England was the only dominant economic power, imperialism was unnecessary (Hobson). When other
nations began to gain power and become significant competition for each other, the argument
developed that it was important to stop rivals from gaining the upper hand (Paton). Paton writes about
the importance of keeping colonial gains for Britain (Paton). Countries felt that they had no choice in
seeking colonies because they would not be able to compete economically if they didnít (Schumpeter).
Religion was a strong influence in pushing Europeans towards imperialism. They believed that it was
important to teach Christian beliefs to the Africans (Lugard). Missionaries went to Africa, attempting

Freedom Vs. Domination In Cathy Davidson s Project...
Freedom vs. Domination Often times, two things which have no similarities at first sight, can actually
be related through ways which are not clearly obvious. The concept of the authority principle and the
hegemony of Wall Street are two such examples of this. In Cathy Davidson s Project Classroom
Makeover , she wrote about an experiment that was conducted at Duke University. During the course
of the experiment she gave all the students a chance to think outside the box by offering them all
iPods, and in doing so, asked them to dream up learning applications for [the] cool little white device

With the authority principle taken away, students were on equal terms with the professors and
everyone was learning together (Davidson 52). Credentials had no place in the school and although
not expected, it ended up benefiting all those involved in the experiment. In Karen Ho s Biography of
Hegemony , the situation was the exact opposite as the students were continuously under the authority
of Wall Street and their University. This early and intense branding of Wall Street careers as the
symbol of arrival, the equating of investment banking with career in general serves to narrow students
notions of success and gives the impression that for graduates, there s nothing else out there besides
investment banking and consulting (Ho, 171). The students of Harvard, Yale and Princeton were
basically forced into a one way tunnel with no other easy opportunities being presented to them and
had individuals that were working in the interests of Wall Street, continually looming over them. Their
superiors remained their superiors throughout the whole schooling experience and students and
teachers were never once on equal terms with each other. The hierarchy was never changed in

Memory Essay
Memory is defined as the persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of
information. Our memory can be compared to a computer s information processing system. To
remember an event we need to get information into our brain which is encoding, store the information
and then be able to retrieve it. The three stage processing model of Richard Atkinson and Richard
Shiffrin suggests that we record information that we want to remember first as a fleeting sensory
memory and then it is processed into a short term memory bin where we encode it ( pay attention to
encode important or novel stimuli) for long term memory and later retrieval. The premise for the three
step process is that we are unable to focus on too much ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The amount remembered depends on the time spent learning. Even after we learn material/names,
additional rehearsal increases retention. For novel verbal information, practice effortful processing
does indeed improve our memory. We also retain information better when our rehearsal is distributed
over a period of time, known as spacing effect. People who have experienced serial position effect
strengthen the benefits of rehearsal. When shown a list of words/names and then immediately asked to
recall the items in any order, they struggle to recall the list. They remember of the first and last
words/names better than those in the middle. This is probably due to the fact that the last names/ items
are still in short term memory; people briefly recall them especially quickly and well. But after a
delay, after they shift their attention from the last names/items their recall is best for the first
names/items. We must remember that our memory system processes information not just by repetitive
rehearsal but also by encoding its significant features.
Strategies and devices that help us remember information that requires effortful processing are:

b. The time it takes the Moon to complete one full cycle (New Moon to New Moon) is called a
synodic month. (Slater)
c. The synodic month is longer than the sidereal month. This is because the Earth is orbiting the Sun
while the Moon goes through its phases. (Slater)
19. What is the difference between the umbra and the penumbra of a shadow? (Page 22)
a. The umbra is the darkest part of a shadow whereas the penumbra is the portion of a shadow in
which only a part of the light source is covered . (Slater)
20. Why doesn t a lunar eclipse occur at every full moon and a solar eclipse at every new moon? (Page
21 22)
a. An eclipse requires that (in the case of Lunar and Solar one) the Moon, Sun, and Earth align
perfectly. However, the Earth and the Moon do not share the same orbital plane which causes eclipse
to be infrequent.

Kesey uses several symbolic references that lead the readers to believe that McMurphy symbolised

The poem, Advice to Young Ladies , crafted by A.D. Hope, does contain similar dominant discourse
of conformity in Kesey s novel. Although it foregrounds a particular viewpoint similar to the one
presented in Kesey s novel, the representations of religious and sexuality supports the conformity
discourse. Postumia is not conformed to the Vestal Virgin as she is thought to talk too witty for her
age. This can be demonstrated by: Too witty for a young girl, her eyes, her walk. Too lively, her
clothes too smart to be demure. (Line 7 8) The poet positions readers to see Postumia s smartness as a
threat for men and her life being torn from her. A religious discourse can be used to explain this
phenomenon. Hope portrays to the reader is that back then, men were superior and women were made
invisible. Females did not have the right to use intelligence or even the right to express themselves.

Physics of Color Vision and Color Blindness Essay
What is Color?
To understand what color is, we first need to understand what light is. Light, as perceived by humans,
is simply electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between roughly 380 nm and 740 nm.
Wavelengths below 380 nm and above 740 nm cannot be seem by the human eye. Electromagnetic
radiation with a wavelength just below 380 nm is known as ultraviolet radiation. Electromagnetic
radiation with a wavelength just above 740 nm is known as infrared radiation. The sun, black lights
and fluorescent lamps are all sources of ultraviolet light. Heat is a source of infrared radiation, which
is how thermal vision works.
Electromagnetic radiation between the wavelengths of 380 nm and 740 nm constitute light and the

Based on our current knowledge, there is no observable physical explanation (in our brains or
elsewhere) as to how a 650 nm ray of light becomes red . As it stands, there s no proof that one day
you couldn t wake up with your visible color spectrum flipped. For more information on the debate
between physics and psychological interpretation of sensory experiences, search for the term qualia .
Now back to the physics (this is a physics webpage after all)...
The point is, color is a purely subjective experience that would not exist without eyes to see it. We can
only understand color based on how we see color, even though other animals can see it differently.
The human eye contains both rod cells and cone cells to interpret light. Rod cells interpret lower levels
of light than cone cells; they also do not see color. In light environments, cone cells become activated
and replace the rod cells as the primary source of visual information. Cone cells are the photoreceptors
used to discriminate color.
The human eye contains three different types of cone cells which interpret their own ranges of
electromagnetic wavelengths. These three cone cells are often oversimplified as the blue, green and
red cone cells when, in fact, they each cover a range of colors. Each cone cell s sensitivity to light is
distributed as a bell curve over a range of wavelengths. The three cone cells

Comparing The Lottery In Babylon And The Library Of Babel
Jorge Luis Borges was a Spanish speaking Argentinian writer who wrote many influential short stories

Wright s directorial flair further emphasizes this comedy by making scenes look as if they came out of
a typical modern noir film. Dark blue shadows contrast against bright white florescent lights, while

is against such cartoony, and yet far too real, imagery of drunk kids with traffic cone hats, or when
those closeups focus on the mere paper work being done, instead of something more thrilling. Lastly,
Dickens editing style is reminiscent of high intensity action films, something similar from Tony Scott.
The subversion then comes when the palpating intensity of the shots and the edge of your seat feel that
the editing style shows off is for the mundane job of writing up paperwork for these kid s arrest. These
subtle details in the scene turn what could ve been a normal, bland, unimportant scene into a truly

Strong Characterism In Ship Breaker By Paolo Bacigalupi
Killing isn t free. It takes something out of you every time you do it. You get their life; the get a piece
of your soul. It s always a trade. Sadhna, a prominent character in Ship Breaker, says.
Strong theme, harsh tone, powerful message, good dialog, strong character development, an overall
amazing story. Paolo Bacigalupi s sci fi post apocalyptic book Ship Breaker includes everything a
book would need to attract multiple audiences, and keep readers intrigued.
Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi is set in a post apocalyptic world where the ocean levels have risen
and oil is scarce. The story focuses on a boy named Nailer. Who is on a light crew. He gets in the air
ducts and small spaces in beached and broken ships. They do this because they are younger and
smaller than everybody else. They then collect what the other people could not. His ... Show more

But the place where this takes place is very unique. Such a simple story arch, but with a twist of death,
savagery, and an apocalypse.
Bacigalupi creates strong character development with Nailer. He starts out the book with Nailer being
afraid of his father and is sceptical of killing and the subject of death. But once he sees Blue Eyes get
killed he realizes that killing is essential to survive in his world. In the beginning of the story one of
his light crew members, Sloth, doesn t help him out of a oil tanker. Nailer is forced to do it himself,
and is ready to die. But then he realizes that he must man up and get out of the tanker. This is where
Nailers determination, later in the story, comes from.
Whilst reading the story you will feel like it has gone by fast. This has to do with Bacigalupi s writing.
He writes in a very fast paced way, but when he needs to slow down and focus on something he will.
He also writes with a lot of figurative language which creates a picture of what is happening in the

This issue was doctrinal. In chapters 4 and 5, Smith takes boundless lengths to show that historically
Baptists have detained that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and it alone stands as the principal
authority in all substances of doctrine. This did not refute the use of confessions. Baptist associations
did use confessions to express their views and differentiate themselves from other denominations.
Though Baptists also contributed to the notion of soul liberty, this was not seen as a chance to advance
from confessional ethics. (Pp. 11 12) In the last chapters of the book, Smith explains how a committee
was developed, which was led by Hobbs, to revise the BFM of 1925. Smith shares how Hobbs s only
goal was to enhance the BFM not rewrite it. There were no main changes made. The manuscript went
through numerous drafts and was done so with a combine effort of the SBTS and Mercer University.
The areas that were examined with the changes were scripture, Ecclesiology, Anthropology, and
Soteriology, because they were re worded or revised in some form. (p. 13) The goal was not to make
any key variations; some important balances were made. In respects to the Scriptures, the committee
dampened down the Bible as inimitable revelation and only recognized it as a printed record of
revelation. The emphasis was taken from scripture understanding to Jesus Christ of Nazareth being the

The Laws Affects People s Everyday Life And A Business
The law affects people s everyday life and a business is not an exception. There are many definitions
of law, but nor one can be generally accepted, because with so many types of the law, these definitions
cannot cover every aspect of the law properly. Therefore, the law can be simply described as the
principles, rules and regulations, created by the state (the parliament) and established within a
community.
From the history, in the time of Henry II, the law was based only on the customs that were then
applied by all other judges all around the country, known as common law. Common law principles
created the basis for today s law and helps distinguish between the law created by previous decisions
and the law created by legislation. For instance, murder is a common law because it is not defined by
the Act of Parliament, unlike theft what is defined by Theft Act 1968. Martin(2010)
Since the Human Right Act 1998 section 2(1)(a) English law is determined by the European Union
and the judge must take into account human right cases of the European Court of Justice as well as the
English law cases. However, it is very different from the other countries law. In contrast, while
deciding a case in the UK, judge is bound to apply a judicial precedent of a higher court, based on the
previous cases judgements and principles known as ratio decidendi (the reason for deciding), rather
than being only guided by previous cases like other European Union countries. Based on

Coastline Erosion Research Paper
The very nature of our ocean is to rise and fall, to sway with the pull of the moon, and to churn
violently as the winds howl. The ocean has been this way since its inception and it will continue to do
so as the arrow of time marches on. There have been cycles in which the nature of the ocean has
wavered, but an equilibrium is kept, and life adapts. However, in our grotesque folly, we have decided
that this should no longer be the case. We have changed the nature of our oceans so suddenly that life
is crushed by force exerted through this change. Temperatures rise without regard to ecosystem or
environment. Glaciers sweat profusely from the bombardment of heat. Sea levels rise. The importance
of the oceans to the world at large cannot be understated. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
As the sea rises, the waves push more into the coast and drag the coastal deposits back into the ocean.
Similar to hill sides and mountain sides that experience erosion when they have low or no existing
vegetation to protect from the eroding effects of the weather, coastlines face the issue of erosion as
well. If this were to happen, the recession of coastline ecosystem may lead to more damaging effects
due to the sea and its weather on the nearby land area and people. Fortunately, the effects of coastline
erosion can be somewhat mitigated. With regards to diminishing coasts, there will be a massive
displacement of people. As the sea level rises, the current coastlines will recede. Unfortunately, there
are large portions of people who live near coasts. This is especially true on islands. With the sea level
rising, we will need to find ways to take care of the people that will leave the area and the large
amount of damage done by the encroaching coast line. There are remedies to these issues, one of
which is build up fortifications against the sea rise. The sea rise can be mitigated through various

are likely to perceive themselves as heavier if they have perceived weight discrimination (p. 92). They
also explain, perceived discrimination poses a threat to health (Schafer Ferraro, 2011, p. 92) and the
sense of being marginalized because of one s weight can actually contribute to steeper health declines
(p. 81). These findings are congruent with what Miller (2013) wrote. Similar to how Miller (2014)
discussed that lowering the self esteem of oneself can affect well being; Schafer and Ferraro (2011)
explain how perceptions other people have of a person s weight can affect that person s health. Miller

lower one s self esteem and conversely having positive perceptions can raise both parties self esteem.

The Millon Clinical Multiaxial IIi
The Millon Clinical Multiaxial III (MCMI III) is a frequently used self report personality inventory

The 175 items are self report true false items. The MCMI III measures 14 personality disorders and 10
clinical syndromes (Strack, Millon, 2007). It utilizes an ordinal scale to measure how well the
examinee fit the constructs being measured. Each construct is split into two groups of items. One type
of item (prototype) represents features that are unique to a disorder, and the other type of item
(peripheral) represents features that may be similar to different construct item (Strack, Millon, 2007).
This accounts for why there is so much crossover between constructs. The prototypal items are
weighted two and the peripheral items are only weighted one. The item weighting system of the
MCMI III was changed to a two point system in comparison to the three point systems used in
previous versions (Craig Bivens, 1998). The 24 scales are broken down into four sections designed to
distinguish between the personality characteristics (Axis II) and the disorder displayed (Axis I)

Depressive, Dependent, Histrionic, Narcissistic, Antisocial, Aggressive, Compulsive, Passive

These techniques are, cinematography, editing, colour and lighting, and sound. Spielberg uses these
four techniques to create a mood and build suspense. The use of these techniques links to the theme
that Frank s actions will eventually have consequences because the director is making the audience
believe that Frank could get caught, meaning Frank s actions will have consequences.
The first film technique spielberg successfully uses is cinematography. Specifically, he uses close up
shots on Frank and Carl s face during their conversation about whether Carl is telling the truth and
then swears on his daughter s life. During these close ups, there is a good use of camera movement by
zooming even further into their faces. The use of this technique gives a strong effect on the audience

A Doll House Analysis
Simon Stephens modern adaption of the 1879 play by Henrik Ibsin, A Doll s House, has allowed for
audiences to experience the intense play in modern times. With Carrie Cracknell s effective use of
realism conventions and elements of drama, she has successfully displayed themes of deception to the
audience. The play follows the story of Nora Helmer, and all the interactions between 6 other
characters that follow while she maintains a major secret from her husband Torvald. The director
demonstrates combined use of elements of drama along with realism conventions to effectively
portray the themes of betrayal such as roles and relationships, use of the fourth wall, and personal
objects. Her effective use of these conventions has led to a brilliant adaption of the classic play A Doll
s House.
Cracknell s portrayal of Nora in the play is one of the clearest portrayals of betrayal. The role of her
character and her interactions with other characters gives the audience an insight to what her character
is like. Nora s close relationship with Doctor Rank is shown multiple times through the show, such as
this scene in act 2. Nora and Doctor Rank are left alone in the loungeroom, initially they speak about

The Absurdity in Waiting for Godot Essay
In Waiting for Godot, Beckett often focused on the idea of the suffering of being. Most of the play
deals with the fact that Estragon and Vladimir are waiting for something to relieve them from their
boredom. Godot can be understood as one of the many things in life that people wait for. Waiting for
Godot is part of the Theater of the Absurd . This implies that it is meant to be irrational and
meaningless. Absurd theater does not have the concepts of drama, chronological plot, logical
language, themes, and recognizable settings. There is also a split between the intellect and the body
within the work. Vladimir represents the intellect and Estragon the body, both cannot exist without the
other. In the beginning we are thrown into the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
ESTRAGON:Unforgettable.
VLADIMIR:And it s not over.
ESTRAGON:Apparently not.
VLADIMIR:It s only beginning.
ESTRAGON:It s awful.
VLADIMIR:Worse than the pantomime.
ESTRAGON:The circus.
VLADIMIR:The music hall.
ESTRAGON:The circus
It makes an interesting point since neither of them aren t saying anything new, it s like having a
conversation with a parrot who only knows a few words, so he continuously repets the same words
over and over even though the dialogue changes slightly, they are still saying the same thing. When
Estragon and Vladamir continuously repeat their actions day after day and unable to go about life as
they please, Estragon finally asks:
ESTRAGON:(chews, swallows). I m asking you if we re tied.
VLADIMIR:Tied?
ESTRAGON:Ti ed.
VLADIMIR:How do you mean tied?
ESTRAGON:Down.
VLADIMIR:But to whom? By whom?
ESTRAGON:To your man.
VLADIMIR:To Godot? Tied to Godot! What an idea! No question of it. (Pause.) For the moment.
ESTRAGON:His name is Godot?
VLADIMIR:I think so.
Since they are tied to Godot they cannot leave the scene like Estragon wants to do throughout the
whole play. Even if they could go it is doubtful that they will since both scenes end the same way:
VLADIMIR:We can still part, if you think it would be better.
ESTRAGON:It s not worthwhile now.
Silence.
VLADIMIR:No, it s not worthwhile now.

Outline Of Proposed Proposal For A Proposal
Introduction The introduction of the proposal should be one complete page long and will most likely
be divided into two paragraphs. Notice that the section headings (Table of Contents, Abstract,
Introduction, etc.) are still formatted in Times New Roman, 12 point font. Titles, cover pages, and
section headings do not need to be in oversized font, but these may be bolded or underlined to create a
separation between the heading and the text. Also, notice that the section heading appears on the first
line and the text begins on the second line (extra space and/or skipped lines should not be present).
The introduction will give more details about the problem that the proposal solution will address.
While the problem was identified in the letter of transmittal and the abstract of the proposal, this
section will allow for more details to be identified about the exact problem. The reader should have a
complete understanding of exactly what led the author to write this proposal. This will be the only
place that the problem will be discussed in detail and may include data or statistics related to the
problem. Ideally, this portion of the proposal should not include any figures, tables, or illustrations.
Instead, those can be utilized in the body of the proposal to explain the solution plan and benefits. The
second paragraph of the introduction can discuss the purpose of the proposal (the solution and
request). This should briefly introduce or outline what the proposal suggests as

Dharma Bums Analysis
This week we started the reading of the Dharma Bums, which is related to Zen Buddhism. In addition,
we also get in touch with some Zen stories. Zen stories are usually very short and easy to read, using
just couple of sentences to tell people the main thoughts of Zen. When first read them, I found some of
them are interesting and easy to understand, at least part of the meaning, while some of them are
confusing. MUDDY ROAD is one of the several Zen stories we read in class. This story talks about
the two monks, Tanzan and Ekido. When they met a lovely girl who was unable to cross the stream.
Tanzan took the girl in his arms and helped the girl across the stream. Ekido did not say anything at

The Representative Free Decision Act

EFCA would adjust the National Work Relations Act ( NLRA ) to:
(1) Require the National Work Relations Board ( NLRB ) guarantee a union based upon a dominant

Supporters of EFCA are naturally hopeful about the charge s prospects for being marked into law

EFCA s key components are portrayed in more detail beneath.
I. Confirmation Taking into account Greater part Card Check
EFCA would revise Area 9(c) of the NLRA to require that, where a worker s party documents a
representation appeal, the NLRB must ensure the union as the restrictive dealing illustrative of the
representatives gave two conditions are met: (1) that the requested of for bartering unit is a proper
unit, and (2) that a lion s share of representatives in that haggling unit have communicated their

through marked approval cards.
Right now, under the NLRA, a business need not perceive a union in view of marked approval cards

cast in a mystery poll race led by the NLRB. Under EFCA, a business would not be approved to

substantially stuffed garment bag, and an oversized platter of peanut butter cup cookies. She moved

When she finally got to the changing room, only a few other girls had arrived. Miss Claudine was in

I m so excited! Abby cried.
I can t believe it s finally here, Shannon added with a bounce. We ve been practicing forever.
Are you nervous, Becca? Abby asked.
Becca nodded. A little, but I m ready.
You don t have anything to be nervous about. You re, like, the best dancer. You re amazing! Shannon

Thank you, Becca replied with sincerity.
I don t know how you do it, Becca, Abby said with eyes bulging, especially the drop.
Miss Claudine finished her call and came over. You girls have worked so hard, she said. I have a

Summary Of First Missionary Journey
First Missionary Journey
The book of Acts describes how Paul was ministering in Antioch with Barnabas, when he was directed
by the Holy Spirit to be released from his Church duties. The Holy Spirit had another assignment for
Paul, and that was to go and take the Gospel more widely. Some believe that this notion came from the
Holy Spirit through fasting and prayer. Paul began his first missionary in the town of Antioch.
Throughout Paul s first missionary journey he was accompanied by Barnabas and Barnabas cousin
John Mark.
God gave Paul a mission to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles. They traveled from city to city
spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. However, the message was not always being received. It is really
no confirmed certainty on why John Mark eventually left Paul and Barnabas to return to Jerusalem.
The Jews went on record as being in opposition to the Gospel, but Paul kept preaching the Gospel to
the Gentiles. Paul saw that the Gentiles were very receptive to the Gospel.
Although many Gentiles accepted the Gospel of Jesus Christ, there were Jews that continued to
display their anger towards the Gospel. There were some Jews that came and stirred up the crowd at
Lystra against Paul and Barnabas. This crowd also stoned and left Paul for dead, but Paul did not
allow that to stop him from preaching the Gospel to the city of Lystra. Lystra and Derbe proved to be
fruitful areas to preach the Gospel, but not without their difficulties. One convert at Lystra on this

Conformity Quotes
The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity. This powerful quote comes
from Rollo May, an American psychologist. This quote acts as a huge indicator as to how hard it is to
break norms. Subsequently, it also reveals that society tends to reject or make it difficult for those who
go against the grain. A few examples of society having adverse reactions to deviation can be found
throughout the world. A significant example is the treatment of women like Malala Yousafzai who
attempt to gain an education. Another event in which society rejected those going against the norm is
ongoing persecution of homosexual men in Chechnya. Additionally, the theme carries with the
mistreatment of the Rohingya population in Myanmar. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The treatment of the Rohingya, an ethnic group native to the Rakhine state of Myanmar have faced
this prejudice in almost aspect of their lives. While under British rule, lots of migration occurred
between India and Myanmar, as it was considered internal migration it was legal under British rule.
After independence was gained by Myanmar, they declared all the immigration was illegal during that
time and accused the Rohingya of coming to Myanmar illegally. This led to the rejection of citizenship
for those under the Rohingya ethnic group, leading to them being stateless. In response to their
presence, the Myanmar government forced these Rohingyas into ghettos and restricted almost every
single right they once had, eventually going as far as raiding those in Rohingya camps.. This
population faced countless atrocities simply for being of that ethnic group. The actions of Myanmar s
government show the how far extent that persecution against those who differ from the majority can

My Experience At The Hamburg Airport
It is a Saturday ,about 4 o clock in the morning, on the way to the Hamburg airport. I am with my
parents and we just left the hotel. I am about to leave Germany and my family to play basketball in
Texas and also to go to college.
I made this decision half a year ago. I signed with a scholarship agency, and a coach from Texas
contacted me the last week before the deadline of recruiting. Therefore, everything was complicated. I
had to prepare, do paperwork, take English tests, and several other things in two and a half ,months.
One month before I had to take the flight, I thought I had finished everything; unfortunately, that wasn

Describing the furor at Marc Bohan s first haute couture collection for Christian Dior, the New York
Times reported the shouting, clapping, surging mob at the press showing caused chaos in the elegant

Spring/Summer 1961 collection, the Slim Look, surged a wave of enthusiastic admiration that
signaled the beginning of his spirited tenure at Dior. From 1961 until 1989, Bohan was the House of

At this position, he learned how to create a collection to satisfy a new market: London. Suddenly in
1960 Yves Saint Laurent, the current artistic director, was drafted into France s military service and
Bohan was positioned to fill the void. The House of Dior anticipated that Bohan would be fit to restore
the classic, conservative nature of the brand back from Yves Saint Laurent s final controversial and
criticized collection.
In the years before Bohan s arrival at Dior, the house had struggled to maintain a cohesive brand. With
the death of Christian Dior in 1957, chaos ensued as Yves Saint Laurent was appointed to artistic
director. Initially producing designs lauded by the industry that contained exquisite fabrics and the
finest craftsmanship, Saint Laurent began to construct clothing that was more daring and that strayed
farther from Dior s idea of the brand. Saint Laurent s last collection, labeled Le Beat Look, consisted
of leather skirts, black turtlenecks, and crocodile embossed leather that mimicked a bohemian style,
heavily inspired by youth culture. When he was called to serve in the French Army during the
Algerian War of Independence in 1960, the House of Dior was relieved of his departure; they ushered
Bohan back to Paris and instated him as chief designer and artistic director. Because Bohan s career
had mirrored Dior s, they both trained under Piguet and Molyneux, the

Prostitution And Its Effect On Society Essay
For a free society to keep violent crime to a minimum with little disturbance on individual liberty,
government should, alongside prosecuting victimless crimes, minimize the opportunity for the corrupt
to create victims. Prostitution has been practiced in all ancient and modern cultures. In the United
States, prostitution was originally widely legal. Prostitution was made illegal in almost all states
between 1910 and 1915 due to the influence of the Woman s Christian Temperance Union which was
influential in the banning of drug use and was a major force in the prohibition of alcohol. In 1917 the
legally defined prostitution district Storyville in New Orleans was closed down by the Federal
government over local objections. In Deadwood, South Dakota, prostitution, while technically illegal,
was tolerated by local residents and officials for decades until the last madam was brought down by
state and federal authorities for tax evasion in 1980 (Weitzer). Prostitution remained legal in Alaska
until 1953, and is still legal in some rural counties of Nevada, including areas outside of Las Vegas.
Prostitution is the provision of sexual services for a negotiated payment between consenting adults.
Prostitution is a service industry like any other in which people exchange services for money or other
reward. No person s human or civil rights should be violated on the basis of their trade, occupation,
work, calling or profession. Additionally, no law has ever succeeded in

Calpurnia Discrimination Quotes
Cry about the hell white people give coloured folks (Lee pg 170) stated Mr.Radley to Scout, Jem and
Dill. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee focuses on the main theme of racism. During
the 1930 s racism played a huge role in society for African Americans who faced discrimination and
segregation. The common occurrence of this theme is expressed throughout relations with individuals,
societal discrimination and law injustice for blacks. Racism can and does impacts the relationships
with individuals whether it is an employee, close friend or a family member. A white upper class
family, the Finch s, consisted of a father, Atticus, and two kids, Jem and Scout. The family also
employed a black woman named Calpurnia, as a housekeeper to raise the kids, but she had always felt
like family. Aunt Alexandra, on the other hand, did not feel the same way about Calpurnia; she did not
believe a black woman should raise white children. She mistreated and discriminated Calpurnia. As
Alexandra arrived, her first words were Put my bag in the front of the bedroom Calpurnia (Lee pg

highlight these allergens, for example, by listing them in bold, italics, highlighted or underlined, in
order to identify them.
3. Information about allergenic ingredients will be located in a single place, i.e. the ingredients list on

NER Case Study
As I mentioned earlier, mutations in your NER or more specifically your GG NER is responsible for
genetics diseases such as XP. This disease is mostly linked with the inability to repair cells that
contain photoproducts in your DNA that is initiated by UV light. These photoproducts include the (5
5) and (6 6) cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and the (6 4) pyrimidine pyrimidinone dimers
(PDs) that can involve T and C pyrimidines [7]. As these DNA are not repaired due to the lack of NER
proteins, a mutation will occur which will substitute a Cytosine base to a Thymine base, it is most
common when there are two Cytosine bases next to each other where it will go from CC to TT. This is
very commonly found in protein p53. Patients with XP C ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Patients with XP V will have different, more mild symptoms compared to other XP patients, as they
can still remove the damaged DNA.
There are no chromosomal abnormalities present in XP unlike Down s syndrome. Chromosome
abnormalities is associated with defective DNA repair. Irradiation of normal and XP cells by UV light
induces chromatid and chromosome aberrations, and one study indicates that more chromatid
aberrations are found in XP cells than in normal cells 24 hr after irradiation [11, 12]. As Sasaki et al.
[12, 13] showed, XP lymphocytes were more prone to growth delay and chromosome aberration
production of 4 nitroquinoline 1 oxide (4NQO) but in XP cells, the 4NQO reparation is defective. As
XP is autosomal recessive, only carriers with both recessive allele will show symptoms of the disease.
Studies of DNA repair in XP heterozygotes have revealed that heterozygous cells show the same
levels of DNA repair as normal cells. There are currently no cures for XP, the only solution is
consistent UV radiation protection which can significantly decrease the amount of skin lesions or
cancer. Keratosis can be treated with cryotherapy or fluorouracil. It hasn t been attempted but
according to Halpern et al. [14], theoretically by inserting functional endonuclease genes into every
cell in the body using the gene editing tool CRISPR, it might be able to cure XP and allow NER to
function normally.

  • 2. A Study On Inverted Topography Abstract Inverted topography in a different of scales from large scale to fine scale has been observed in numerous localities on Martian surface. Also, Inverted wadis in Western Desert of Egypt in seven sites cover an area of about 26.000 square kilometers, provide us a natural museum for a different of scales, mechanisms of development, and planimetric patterns. Therefore, we carried out field study in four sites of inverted wadis in Gabal El Na aloon, east of Baharyia, west of Ghard Abu Moharik, and west of Tahta city rane with laboratory analysis for collected samples. In this paper, we shed light on the morphological, sedimentological, and mineralogical aspects of inverted wadis in Western Desert of Egypt. We conclude that the majority of minerals which led to the cementation of inverted wadis in visited sites, are calcite, iron oxide, gypsum, illite, magnesite, alunite, vermiculite, aerinite, surite, hematite, silicon oxide, epidote, magnetite, and clay. In addition, the grain size distribution for 18 samples of inverted wadis in two localities ranges from ( 6 to 4.5 ɸ scale), with boulders are commonly 1 m in diameter. Lastly, inverted topography on Mars as a landform is extremely valuable to give us detailed data about paleoenvironmental conditions, including paleohydrological and sedimentological, this is making it an important candidate sites for landing.

Large scale industry consolidation, a global slowdown in category growth, significant increase in input costs and cost pressures and above all, an unprecedented economic crisis unfolding in the second half of the year. Against this backdrop, Heineken delivered strong organic growth in net profit of 11 per cent, revenue growth of more than 27 per cent (7 per cent organic) and 16 per cent increase in Group volume (4 per cent organic). However, the exceptional economic circumstances required the company to reduce the value of goodwill in Russia, its investment in India and in its pub portfolios in the UK . These non cash exceptional charges, together with low profit contributions of new businesses and the related financing costs resulted in a substantially lower reported net profit. Looking back over the last three years, Heineken has become more resilient, performance driven and competitive. They have achieved an average top line growth of 16.5 per cent per year and grown the Heineken® volume in the premium segment by 3.4 million hectolitres, an average of 7.3 per cent per year. They are more efficient thanks to the successful delivery of more than €450 million of cost savings between 2006 and 2008 linked to their Fit2Fight programme. And they have a much stronger global footprint.[1] II.2. Political legal forces ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. The Beliefs Of The Christian Bible have gone. Locked in the dungeon, shrouded in an all consuming cold where you will remain until you have paid your full price. Your reward will not be what you expect, but will be what you have earned. You cared not to listen to me. You can listen to the silence of darkness and the weeping and gnashing of teeth. You dwell in confidence now, but you will be left with only sorrow, and you will be filled with dreams of what could have been. All the preparations and schemes were not enough to save you from meeting your end and being destroyed. You took pleasure in adding imaginary winnings and dreamed of a boundless victory you can never have. You received strength in what you believed would be your reward, but you only deluded yourselves. I ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... At this time, Jesus came like a thief in the night, to see to the death and removal of his followers, lest they fall into the trap of worshiping the delusion. No one saw him come or go. They were sent to a prison where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. The world became an endless graveyard with millions of dead Christians strewn wherever they had fallen. Mounds of dead bodies filled every vacant lot in every city and country, waiting to be set aflame. Gathering dead Christians became the number one priority for the world. Once again, mankind believed they were witnessing the supernatural powers of a madman. Soon the sky above Jerusalem turned from blue to white because of the strangest phenomenon ever to appear. It was not a cloud s white, but a white coming from pure light of no source. Thousands of people came to the city to stand in awe of the light which canopied Jerusalem for hours. A whirlwind of fire appeared in the sky as the crowd grew to its largest size. People stirred in fright as the whirlwind fell closer and closer to Jerusalem and toward the crowd. The fiery whirlwind set down on the Mount of Olives and disappeared, leaving a man of unbelievable beauty standing before them. He stood motionless, holding a walking staff, and he waited for people to congregate around him. The crowd quieted when ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. European Colonialism, Imperialism, and Cultural... European Imperialism and Cultural Superiority Many factors contributed to the colonization of Africa by European powers between 1895 and 1905. Among these factors were the effects of European history, the growing capitalist economy, and the growing competition between European powers. Most important was the belief that European culture was superior to African culture. During the height of imperialism, the vast majority of the African continent was controlled by Europe (ìExtentî 19). It is important to understand what gave the momentum for European dominance at the time. Imperialism is present in European history, beginning with the Roman Empire (Lenin). Lugard believes that Europeans inherited ìinstincts of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Europeans found opportunity to create monopolies in the newly conquered lands (Lenin). It was also necessary to find new sources of raw materials, in order to keep production going (Hobson). This was largely a result of the Industrial Revolution (Hobson). Increased demand for raw materials led to increased demand for imperialism (Lenin). Cecil Rhodes, a British advocate for imperialism, believed it would solve Englandís domestic economic problems (Lenin). People who were likely to gain wealth from colonization further pushed the movement (Schumpeter). The element of competition between European powers played a role in imperialism in Africa. When England was the only dominant economic power, imperialism was unnecessary (Hobson). When other nations began to gain power and become significant competition for each other, the argument developed that it was important to stop rivals from gaining the upper hand (Paton). Paton writes about the importance of keeping colonial gains for Britain (Paton). Countries felt that they had no choice in seeking colonies because they would not be able to compete economically if they didnít (Schumpeter). Religion was a strong influence in pushing Europeans towards imperialism. They believed that it was important to teach Christian beliefs to the Africans (Lugard). Missionaries went to Africa, attempting to civilize ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. Freedom Vs. Domination In Cathy Davidson s Project... Freedom vs. Domination Often times, two things which have no similarities at first sight, can actually be related through ways which are not clearly obvious. The concept of the authority principle and the hegemony of Wall Street are two such examples of this. In Cathy Davidson s Project Classroom Makeover , she wrote about an experiment that was conducted at Duke University. During the course of the experiment she gave all the students a chance to think outside the box by offering them all iPods, and in doing so, asked them to dream up learning applications for [the] cool little white device (Davidson, 49). The experiment allowed kids to take charge of their own learning, in a way that benefited them more than traditional teaching ever ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... With the authority principle taken away, students were on equal terms with the professors and everyone was learning together (Davidson 52). Credentials had no place in the school and although not expected, it ended up benefiting all those involved in the experiment. In Karen Ho s Biography of Hegemony , the situation was the exact opposite as the students were continuously under the authority of Wall Street and their University. This early and intense branding of Wall Street careers as the symbol of arrival, the equating of investment banking with career in general serves to narrow students notions of success and gives the impression that for graduates, there s nothing else out there besides investment banking and consulting (Ho, 171). The students of Harvard, Yale and Princeton were basically forced into a one way tunnel with no other easy opportunities being presented to them and had individuals that were working in the interests of Wall Street, continually looming over them. Their superiors remained their superiors throughout the whole schooling experience and students and teachers were never once on equal terms with each other. The hierarchy was never changed in Biography of Hegemony and stayed consistent with the rest of the American collegiate ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 8. Memory Essay Memory is defined as the persistence of learning over time through the storage and retrieval of information. Our memory can be compared to a computer s information processing system. To remember an event we need to get information into our brain which is encoding, store the information and then be able to retrieve it. The three stage processing model of Richard Atkinson and Richard Shiffrin suggests that we record information that we want to remember first as a fleeting sensory memory and then it is processed into a short term memory bin where we encode it ( pay attention to encode important or novel stimuli) for long term memory and later retrieval. The premise for the three step process is that we are unable to focus on too much ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The amount remembered depends on the time spent learning. Even after we learn material/names, additional rehearsal increases retention. For novel verbal information, practice effortful processing does indeed improve our memory. We also retain information better when our rehearsal is distributed over a period of time, known as spacing effect. People who have experienced serial position effect strengthen the benefits of rehearsal. When shown a list of words/names and then immediately asked to recall the items in any order, they struggle to recall the list. They remember of the first and last words/names better than those in the middle. This is probably due to the fact that the last names/ items are still in short term memory; people briefly recall them especially quickly and well. But after a delay, after they shift their attention from the last names/items their recall is best for the first names/items. We must remember that our memory system processes information not just by repetitive rehearsal but also by encoding its significant features. Strategies and devices that help us remember information that requires effortful processing are: encoding its meaning, visualizing, and mentally organizing the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The time it takes the Moon to complete one full cycle (New Moon to New Moon) is called a synodic month. (Slater) c. The synodic month is longer than the sidereal month.

However, the Earth and the Moon do not share the same orbital plane which causes eclipse to be infrequent. Source Slater, Timothy F., and Roger A. Freedman.

Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength just below 380 nm is known as ultraviolet radiation. Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength just above 740 nm is known as infrared radiation. The sun, black lights and fluorescent lamps are all sources of ultraviolet light. Heat is a source of infrared radiation, which is how thermal vision works.

Based on our current knowledge, there is no observable physical explanation (in our brains or elsewhere) as to how a 650 nm ray of light becomes red . As it stands, there s no proof that one day you couldn t wake up with your visible color spectrum flipped. For more information on the debate between physics and psychological interpretation of sensory experiences, search for the term qualia . Now back to the physics (this is a physics webpage after all)... The point is, color is a purely subjective experience that would not exist without eyes to see it. We can only understand color based on how we see color, even though other animals can see it differently. The human eye contains both rod cells and cone cells to interpret light. Rod cells interpret lower levels of light than cone cells; they also do not see color. In light environments, cone cells become activated and replace the rod cells as the primary source of visual information. Cone cells are the photoreceptors used to discriminate color. The human eye contains three different types of cone cells which interpret their own ranges of electromagnetic wavelengths. These three cone cells are often oversimplified as the blue, green and red cone cells when, in fact, they each cover a range of colors. Each cone cell s sensitivity to light is distributed as a bell curve over a range of wavelengths. The three cone cells ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Though Baptists also contributed to the notion of soul liberty, this was not seen as a chance to advance from confessional ethics.

He then convinces Frank to handcuff himself and turn himself into the french officers. During this scene, Spielberg uses four main film techniques to create a theme and moods. These techniques are, cinematography, editing, colour and lighting, and sound. Spielberg uses these four techniques to create a mood and build suspense. The use of these techniques links to the theme that Frank s actions will eventually have consequences because the director is making the audience believe that Frank could get caught, meaning Frank s actions will have consequences. The first film technique spielberg successfully uses is cinematography. Specifically, he uses close up shots on Frank and Carl s face during their conversation about whether Carl is telling the truth and then swears on his daughter s life. During these close ups, there is a good use of camera movement by zooming even further into their faces.

Prostitution has been practiced in all ancient and modern cultures. In the United States, prostitution was originally widely legal. Prostitution was made illegal in almost all states between 1910 and 1915 due to the influence of the Woman s Christian Temperance Union which was influential in the banning of drug use and was a major force in the prohibition of alcohol. In 1917 the legally defined prostitution district Storyville in New Orleans was closed down by the Federal government over local objections. In Deadwood, South Dakota, prostitution, while technically illegal, was tolerated by local residents and officials for decades until the last madam was brought down by state and federal authorities for tax evasion in 1980 (Weitzer). Prostitution remained legal in Alaska until 1953, and is still legal in some rural counties of Nevada, including areas outside of Las Vegas. Prostitution is the provision of sexual services for a negotiated payment between consenting adults.

However, from 13 December 2014, information on any of the 14 allergens used as ingredients will need to be stated ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 53. NER Case Study As I mentioned earlier, mutations in your NER or more specifically your GG NER is responsible for genetics diseases such as XP. This disease is mostly linked with the inability to repair cells that contain photoproducts in your DNA that is initiated by UV light. These photoproducts include the (5 5) and (6 6) cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and the (6 4) pyrimidine pyrimidinone dimers (PDs) that can involve T and C pyrimidines [7]. As these DNA are not repaired due to the lack of NER proteins, a mutation will occur which will substitute a Cytosine base to a Thymine base, it is most common when there are two Cytosine bases next to each other where it will go from CC to TT. This is very commonly found in protein p53. Patients with XP C ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Patients with XP V will have different, more mild symptoms compared to other XP patients, as they can still remove the damaged DNA. There are no chromosomal abnormalities present in XP unlike Down s syndrome. Chromosome abnormalities is associated with defective DNA repair. Irradiation of normal and XP cells by UV light induces chromatid and chromosome aberrations, and one study indicates that more chromatid aberrations are found in XP cells than in normal cells 24 hr after irradiation [11, 12]. As Sasaki et al. [12, 13] showed, XP lymphocytes were more prone to growth delay and chromosome aberration production of 4 nitroquinoline 1 oxide (4NQO) but in XP cells, the 4NQO reparation is defective. As XP is autosomal recessive, only carriers with both recessive allele will show symptoms of the disease. Studies of DNA repair in XP heterozygotes have revealed that heterozygous cells show the same levels of DNA repair as normal cells. There are currently no cures for XP, the only solution is consistent UV radiation protection which can significantly decrease the amount of skin lesions or cancer. Keratosis can be treated with cryotherapy or fluorouracil. It hasn t been attempted but according to Halpern et al. [14], theoretically by inserting functional endonuclease genes into every cell in the body using the gene editing tool CRISPR, it might be able to cure XP and allow NER to function normally. XP is a rare autosomal recessive disease that ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
