Whereabouts in America Presentation for Environmental Science (2014)Nate Crimmins
A presentation I gave for an Environmental Science class detailing my bike ride across the United States, connecting the ride to identifying notions of "the Sacred" in the natural world.
As the guest speaker at a DevFaction Meetup Group, I presented this talk on the power of visual storytelling. I also shared strategies for creating content that is meaningful and culturally relevant through embracing ancient archetypal patterns and universal human emotions. Inspired by the work of Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung.
Light is a very common topic to make a presentation on.
i hope my ppt will help you all.

Taboos are a global phenomenon. Some cultural. Some universal. They change with time and seasons. Are they good? Are they bad? Or are they something else entirely?
Taboos help set the standards by which we live as a society. There are even niche taboos within communities (e.g. Comic Sans among designers, or in agile, missing stand up and iteration planning, commiting code without unit tests, and YAGNI etc.). But do these boundaries help or hinder us? Do they protect or enslave us? How can we tell?
This talk explores the history and nuance of taboo in society at large and in the agile community, and challenges them all. I present four standards by which you can judge taboos, challenge them, and use them to better yourself and your work.
Taboos will be broken during this talk. Are you ready to be a little uncomfortable?

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

3. Introduction: Scientific Method
⚫experiments and empirical observations
⚫basic assumptions:
1) there is an objective reality shared by all
rational observers;
2) this objective reality is governed by
natural laws;
3) these laws can be discovered by means of
systematic observation and experimentation
5. Science & Philosophy
● What is it that distinguishes the two?
!
● What are the questions science can ask?
!
● Why do we act in a certain way – survival instincts, or a
higher power?

of nature. And that is because, in the last
analysis, we ourselves are a part of the
mystery that we are trying to solve.”
