Throughout the age of science and theology, there has been a constant controversial
debate regarding the existence of an intelligent designer, specifically, the idea of
irreducibly complex systems. Michael Behe defines this as a single system composed
of several well matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function,
wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease
functioning... An irreducibly complex biological system, if there is such a thing,
would be a powerful challenge to Darwinian evolution (Behe, p. 39). On one side,
most Christians believe that God, as the intelligent designer, is responsible for all that
earth inhabits, including their biological systems in which they live by.... Show more

When reviewing the different responses, there was a majority of support for the
notion of the existence of an intelligent designer. There were some compelling
arguments, including a few that conversed about the flagella of bacteria. One of my
peers brought up the point that the flagella has quite an interesting make up that
allows it to have various functions in its individual components. Its ability to cause
locomotion of bacteria is stunning because the chances of all that machinery coming
together in the proper manner are next to none. The molecular motor of the bacterial
flagellum is amazing in its interior design as how every component compliments one
another. With the existence of a completely complex, irreducible system in the
flagellum, it is difficult not to believe that there could have been an intelligent
designer behind the whole process. Another idea that is in support of intelligent design
is DNA. Specifically, the transcription and translation process in DNA. The driving
factor in the DNA argument is the presence of the enzymes. This is because without
the enzymes, there would be missing functions and undesired results. Either that or
the process itself would be immensely slowed down or simply stopped. The ability
for DNA to spontaneously fold, unfold, and form is a highly

Words will be able to be illuminated into roads, warning of wildlife ahead, a detour a
couple of miles in the distance, a recent accident blocking the road, or construction
will now be much easier to avoid than waiting to encountering it as it comes.
The LEDs can also be programmed to move along with cars at the speed limit,
warning drivers instantly when they are driving too fast. The LEDs will also be
used to paint words right into the road, warning drivers of an animal on the road, a
detour ahead, an accident, or construction work. Central control stations will be able
to instantly customize the lines and words in real time, alleviating traffic congestion
and making the roads more efficient as well as safer. Cities and towns will be able
to customize the lines for roads and parking spaces to meet their own unique needs.
For example, here in Sandpoint, Idaho, we have Lost in the 50 s Weekend each May.
Currently, the city puts out orange cones to remark the parking places and block off
streets for the parade, car show, and street dance. With Solar Roadways, they would
push the Lost in the 50 s button which would repaint the road lines instantly. After the
celebration, they would equally quickly return to the default setting.

they burned the city before the French got there, so the shelter and supplies that
Napoleon was counting on were destroyed. So, his army had to retreat back to
Germany, while being chased and hunted by the Russians. The whole Russian
campaign ended up as a complete failure. He lost almost all of his 500,000 men that
he had started with. In 1810, he divorced Josephine and married the daughter of the
Austrian Emperor, Marie Louise, in a last attempt to improve relations. Upon his
return to France, the Prussians, Russians, Swedish, and the British started the War
of Liberation against him. His army was soon forced over the Rhine at the Battle
of Leipzig. However, the allied armies did not accept the plan and they demanded
that the brother of Louis XVI, Louis XVIII, be put on the throne. Napoleon was
sent to rule the Island of Elba in 1813 with the British Navy guarding the Island.
But, in 1815, he returned to Paris and his old armies quickly gathered around him,
already sick of the new king. The allies were threatening to invade France again since
they heard of the return of Napoleon, so he quickly organized a new army and
marched them into Belgium to meet the British and Prussian armies. In Ligny, he
defeated the Prussians and then marched to Waterloo to meet the British under
Wellington. At first, he was doing well in the battle.
7. Examples Of Identity In Huckleberry Finn
The Hoax of Personalities In Mark Twain s the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,
the true identity of an individual is questioned countless times between three
central characters. Along with identity, one s self pride can also be at task. The
inheritance of money, faking death, and the will to be free are at hand to become a
true successor in the journey northward. With help from the so called King and
Duke, their mission to Cairo is put more at risk rather than if Huck and Jim
remained alone. Before the trip even started, Huck had to escape the imprisonment
of his cruel and abusive father, Pap. Huck s idea of a good father was far from what
Pap was, a drunk. Pap had kidnapped him because he claimed Huck was more
advanced personally; he could read, write, and he had money Miss Watson gave
him. Huck s only chance of a life outside abuse was an escape. I took the axe and
smashed in the door I beat it and hacked it considerable, a doing it. I fetched the pig
in and took him back nearly to the table and hacked into his throat with the ax, and
laid him on the ground to bleed (Twain 25). In cases as such, faking death, or
fraudulency in general can be used for good. If escaping a bad life can get you into
a better one, many would say go for it, however; now that Huck is dead he must
cover up his identity to save his true self. In 2013, a film known as Identity Thief ,

where the body gauges the quantity of energy it has produced and its body rate
through direct measurement of the heatthat is produced in the body. Indirect
calorimetry can be defined as a method of measuring the body s respiratory gases
that will give us an estimate of the body energyexpenditure.

circumstances that are beyond their control. In The Sapphires they do not have
much of a leverage because of their race and continue to be looked down upon by
the white people because they are black. In the case of Ned Kelly, Kelly was born
into a disadvantaged family. Due to being part of the Kelly family he too was looked
down upon by society. Both Australian films represent the idea of the underdog. They

#Introduction
In modern society, people produce a significant amount of waste, such as
agricultural, nuclear, solid, or electronic waste. While some waste goes to the
landfill in the United States, some are exported to developed and developing
countries. These exports include hazardous waste and harmless waste, in which some
of the countries specialize in recycling them, but even so, there has been
controversies about improper disposal of wastes in other countries. Exportation laws
in regards to waste export can be complex. In this paper, exportation regulations are

Aside from the regulations set in place by the EPA, The United States is a part of five
notable international agreements: Decision of the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD), Basel Convention, Agreement between
Costa Rica, Malaysia, and the Philippines, and bilateral agreements with Mexico and
Canada (International Waste Agreements EPA). These agreements were a way to
regulate international trade in a way that would appease all parties. The OECD
consists of thirty democratic governments that focuses on the economic and
environmental issues of globalization (OECD 2). The organization provided
precautionary steps in order to ensure that wastes are handled in a way that will
protect the environment from any effects and will protect the wellbeing of the
people, whether the waste is being exported or being recycled (8). With this in mind,
the OECD put into place some Core Performance Elements (CPEs) that are part of the
recommendations by the OECD Environmentally Sound Management (ESM) Council
(BIR 33). There were six CPEs identified and were deemed as common requirements
in order to ensure that waste is handled in a way that is environmentally sound. Some
of these CPEs include putting in place an Environmental Management System (EMS)

17. Introduction Of Internet Based Procurement Essay
The term e procurement gained popularity around the year 2000. Emergence of the
two competitors Ariba and Commerce One, companies that specialized in the support
of electronic procurement for MRO products, changed the way indirect MRO spend
used to be looked upon. Introduction of internet based procurement applications
prompted a change from a centrally organized procurement(central buying)
department to desktop procurement environment, where the employee in need of a
product would initiate the purchase transaction electronically. With these two trends,
decentralized purchasing and multi vendor catalogues , the conduit toward electronic
support of the MRO buying process was paved. Thus, over the period, spend analysts
have started observing carefully, to increase spend under management and implement
better control over tail spend in order to reduce the amount of fulfilling formalities
and time consumed in procuring these products.
Understanding E Procurement in the MRO space
With the advent of Internet technology in the area of MRO, the procurement of
indirect material such as office supplies and services also became feasible for
electronic support. Indirect procurement is based on ad hoc activities which are
difficult to put into an electronically supported workflow. Since the products needed
in this area are less frequently bought and usually of low value, companies shy away
from maintaining material master data for indirect products. The study of

19. Identity Development Model for LGBT Population
Cass (1979) introduced, what is still today, the most widely used identity
development model for the LGBT population. It was thought that gay identity
development would serve as the most significant moderator of the physiological
stress response. Findings from this study suggest that it affects the stressresponse, but
not to the degree that was expected. It is possible that a GayIdentity Questionnaire
(GIQ) will not accurately capture the gay identity development, or that the
homogeneity of the sample might not produce statistically significant results.
However, as one of the post hoc analyses self esteem could account for more of the
variance in the stress response. It is not to suggest that gay identity development is
not an important construct to understand, but perhaps it could be captured more
accurately. Mohr and Fassinger (2000) identified the many dimensions to the gay and
lesbian experience. It might be that this current study could support the difficulty in
quantitatively measuring one s global identity development, as many individuals
possess countless identities and mood can significantly affect one s response to the
test items. As with any generalization, one must be cautious in its interpretation.
Self esteem appears to be similar to gay identity, in that it is difficult to capture its
true effect on an individual s health, although there is an exorbitant amount of
literature that supports its protective properties (Henley, 2010). In this study, self

readily take the loss in living space for these benefits than their previous
generations did. At the same time, a growing number of millennials are facing
burdensome student loan debt. Rather than come out of college with pristine back
end ratios primed for a hefty mortgage, they are handcuffed by the debt that they
have amassed in their early twenties. As the Pew Research Center has noted, 37
percent of people under the age of thirty have student loan debt. They contribute to
the $1.3 trillion in student debt, leverage that could presumably be used for a
mortgage or some other useful credit if it were not locked up already. Millennials
are trying to increase their earning power by going to school so that they have the
opportunity to advance economically, but it is simultaneously holding many of them

Elephants The Retreat of the Elephants is a book in which the author Mark Elvin
presents two large issues: How has the Chinese culture changed in the past four
thousand years? And, in what ways did the distinctive characteristics of this ancient
civilization effect the process of change? Elvin separates his study into three sections.
The first section is Patterns in which he illustrates the environmental history of China,
describing some of the changes the country went through environmentally and
economically. The author also explains the reasoning behind the title of the book.
Four thousand years ago, there were elephants in the area that was later to become

History has the tendency to cause a great deal of curiosity. For instance, someone
may wonder what the War of 1812 was and what difficulties the United States had
in waging the War of 1812. They also might ponder about why the War of 1812 was
widely viewed as a victory for the United States or how the war lead to an increasing
pattern of diplomatic cooperation between the United Statesand Britain. Our very own
seventh president, Andrew Jackson, has meant a great deal in our history and some
may ask what it was about his presidency that distinguished him compared to his
predecessors, or how he refined the role of the president. Last but not least, there
remains the important question about what factors lead to the increasing production of

Before getting to that point, we must first discuss the events that led to increasing
tensions between the United States and Britain. One of the difficulties that led to the
War of 1812 was because of the failure of economic sanctions. In 1810, congress
had replaced the Nonintercourse Act with Macon s Bill No. 2 in hopes of creating
easier trading throughout the nations. Through this time, and with the replacement
of the Nonintercourse Act with Macon s Bill No. 2, Napoleon had promised to
withdraw decrees against U.S. shipping on the condition that if Britain should not
follow suit, Madison would have to force Britain to respect U.S. rights.
Unfortunately, French seizures of U.S. ships continued and by the time Napoleon s
requests were clear, he had worsened Anglo American tensions. In November of
1810, Madison had reimposed Nonintercourse against Britain which only caused
the two nations to have more conflicts. Another difficulty leading to the decision of
war in 1812 was due to the frontier and Indian resistance. Madison was also pushed
toward a war against Britain because of mounting frustrations in the South and
West. Farm prices plunged when Jefferson s embargo shut off exports, but stayed
low after the embargo was lifted. Much of the blame for persistent agricultural
depression focused on the British and their hold on overseas trade after 1808. As we
can see, Britain and the U.S. had not been on good sides of the other. In fact, western

There is a long history of conflict between federal and state power in the United Sates.
Federalism in the U.S. started with the need for a central power to unite the country
after the Revolutionary War, and with the failure of the Articles of the Confederation.
The Constitution was the solution and federalismwas one of its four political
principles. The Federalist Debates followed the adoption of the Constitution. The
debate was between the Federalists and the Anti Federalists, the Federalists supported
the Constitution s idea of a strong central government and believed that the
Confederation was too weak while the Anti Federalists, on the other hand, supported
the Confederation and believed a federal government was too far removed from the...

One of the many purposes of a federal government is to maintain unity and solve
problems that affect the entire nation; if there was no uniting force, the states would
act like their own separate countries, deciding on laws, policies, and leadership as
they please, that would ultimately lead to conflict and unrest. Some would argue that
power should return to the states as it was in the beginning, however too much
individual power can cause a rift to grow between the states and cause the nation to
lack unity and relative consistency. Take right

Guantanamo Bay sits on what was once called Oriente Province. Located on the
southeast corner of the island country of Cuba. Oriente Province has since been
divided into five distinct provinces, Las Tunas, Holguin, Granma, Santiago de Cuba,
and Guantanamo. Guantanamo Bay is situated in the belt of the Caribbean trade
winds; it receives sea breezes from the southeast during the afternoons, and shortly
after sunset, the wind changes to a northerly direction and becomes a land breeze.
The constant breezes help to keep the bay cooler than most semi arid deserts.

family members of the service people were evacuated to the U.S. as President
Kennedy announced the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba. In 1964 Fidel Castro
cut off the water supply to the base, in retaliation of some Cuban fishermen getting
fined for fishing in Florida waters. So water had to be shipped in to the base. Fidel
Castro accused the United States, of stealing water. So base commander John D.
Bulkeley had a portion of the supply pipe excavated and an 18 inch portion of the
pipe was cut and removed, to prove that water was not being stolen from Cuba. The
hole was never filled in and the pipe is still exposed, at the northeastern corner of
the base, where the Marines sleep when they are on the fence line duty. Since the
water was shut off, Guantanamo Bay has been self sufficient, and produces 3.4

26. Pros And Cons Of Standardized Testing
Noddings describes the main dilemma of standardized testing from a teacher s point
of view, Today, even elementary teachers complain that the pressure to produce high
test scores inhibits the work they regard as central to their mission: the development
of caring and competent people (Barrier Ferreira). Because the risks have reached
disproportionate levels, educators are often forced to forget all things that do not
relate to the standardized tests and consequently lose sight of what is important: the
whole child, who is not simply composed of intellect but is emotional and spiritual as
well (Barrier Ferreira).
Superintendents, one of the highest levels in the school district have varying things to
say on the subject of standardized testing.
Victoria superintendent Robert Jaklich said the system was comparing apples to
oranges. Shiner Superintendent Trey Lawrence, whose schools fared relatively well,
said of the various standardized tests, I don t prefer any of them. We ve gone testing
crazy in the state of Texas. Clay Robinson, a spokesman for the Texas Teachers
Association, told the Associated Press that the new grading system shows what
educators already know: The schools in the upper middle class neighborhoods do
pretty well, generally, and the schools in poor areas don t ( EDITORIAL: Texas

How the First Seed Plants Froze the Earth
With a little bacteria and a little bit of dirt, the first plant on earth was created. This
plant was no more than mats of algae that layered on top of itself in water, but it
was a first nonetheless. It was not until the end of the Ordovician period, some 480
million years ago, that plants began to grow on land. Bryophytes were the first to
grow, which included mosses, hornworts, and liverworts. Lacking any leaves, these
plants went through a Gametophyte stage, reproducing by dividing cells into spores.
Also reproducing with spores, the Lycopodiophyta (Lycopods) evolved simple
microphyll leaves with just one leaf vein bringing sunlight and nutrients in to support
the plant.
The beginning of the Silurian Period (440 million years ago) brought vascular plants
such as ferns, with megaphyll leaves, or many veined leaves, ... Show more content

The lignins in plants becomes buried over time, not allowing the carbon atoms to
release back into the atmosphere. Two historic climate changes that took place around
the same time could possible be explained by the evolution of seed plants. The first is
the Snowball earth theory that suggest the equator and therefore the whole earth was
at one point completely covered in ice. Evidence for this theory is found in
earthforms that contain markings similar to those that glaciers make. Another theory
is the Cambrian explosion which resulted in creating the first fossils of every animals
category. There are still many debated and unproven theories about the evolution of
plants but one thing that is for certain is that they had one of the largest impacts on
the planet, shaping the atmosphere and biosphere the most in establishing conditions
to support animal life, by supporting the soil, air, water, food supply, shelter, and

28. The Development Of Telescope
Throughout human history, civilization was built and developed upon a sense of
mystery. In the ancient time, people believed the existence of eternal God, who
lived beyond people s vision in the vastness of dark sky, and developed their own
routine upon that. Observed this mysterious sky for centuries, Greek astronomer
Ptolemy finally developed a geocentric model in the Second Century A.D in his
book Almagest. In his work, Ptolemy made all of his assumptions were purely
based on observations. In 1543, a Polish astronomer Nicholaus Copernicus polished
a heliocentric model, which again was derived on visual evidences. These
revolutionary discoveries took years to complete. As a comparison, modern
astronomical science, which explains the origin of the universe and life cycle of
stars, was established and rapidly developed in merely four hundred years: people
now understood so much about the universe. These astonishing developments were
the result of observational technology advancement: everything people know about
this universe is from observation. From simple optical telescopes to radio telescopes
and high energy telescopes, people constantly improve observational technologies to
make more discoveries. This scientific development reached its climax as people
launched a revolutionary telescope above the atmosphere for a better quality of
image. These revolutionary changes in observational technology help this universe be
more comprehensive to human. The first telescope like

A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings The story A Very Old Man with Enormous
Wings is a reflection of human behaviour towards good and bad circumstances in
his life. Weak, innocent, dependent, and shy individuals ever need love and extra
care from their outer environment, but mostly they are being ignored because of
cruel and selfish thinking of the people around. Materialistic things have become
the first priority of selfish people, which is the major cause of evil and bad
activities in society. On the other hand, not all individuals are selfish and cruel.
Kind hearted people always care for everyone, whether they are weak or strong. In
the story, there are two opposite situations for the readers. The old man, by having
the wings in the story, is depicted as an angel on the Earth. Some people care for
him showing a sympathetic behaviour, and it becomes a good sign in the world
because of selfless love and care of humanity (Kennedy, 2014). On the other hand,
the role of spider girl is a sign of evil on the Earth that does not care to harm anyone
to fulfil her needs. A competition between good and bad people has been seen in the
story (Rabassa, 2014). A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings When Pelayo and his

old man, it seems that the old man was an angel: But he turned them down, just as he

parents could roll on top of their baby or the baby could get smothered by the
blankets. You can still experience most of the pros if you choose to share a room,
and you can eliminate the safety concerns. Another con of co sleeping is that you
and your baby could get less sleep. When the baby wakes up, being super alert and
picking the baby up right away when it makes a sound could harm your baby s
sleep pattern and could be resulting in the baby getting less sleep. You also get less
sleep as well. Babies are very noisy when they sleep, and having them sleep with
you could result in getting less sleep than you would like to. Co sleeping could
also get the child used to sleeping with you and that could develop into them
needing you to sleep with them in order for them to fall asleep. If the baby needs
you to sleep with it at night, it could develop the need for you to sleep with it
during the daytime too. The average child will stay in the family bed for around
three or four years. Parents can find it difficult to transition their child into their own

Internal Domain Name System for Company Alpha Introduction The DNS is a
vital Internet component providing mechanisms for resolving host names into IP
addresses and vice versa. In addition, DNS supports other Internet directories
concerning DNS name servers and mail exchangers among others (Garfinkel
Spafford, 1997). Despite being a universally accepted and widely used system,
insecure protocols and lack of authentication among other factors within the DNS
threaten proper functionality of the DNS. Moreover, the accuracy of the
information contained within the DNS is vital to many aspects of IP based
communications. Domain Model for the Organization The domain appropriate for
this organization is the Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND). This domain
name is selected since it compatible with most operating systems including UNIX;
it is also used by most Internet Service Providers (Stevens, 1990). In addition,
BIND is recommended for the firm since its configuration files are easier to
maintain than other server DNSs such as Sendmail (Terry, Painter, Riggle, Zhou,
1984). Using this DNS, cache only name servers are easily placed strategically
within the internal network to remove unwanted traffic and expensive WAN links.
Moreover, BIND supports DNS SEC, TSIG IPv4 among other DNS protocol
enhancements. Given the popularity of BIND, it is often targeted by hackers.
Therefore, limiting zone transfers to slave name servers and limiting transfer in the

35. The And Structure Of The Intellectual Argument
When you write a persuasive essay, it s good to think about how you will construct
your argument, from the way you will organize your key points to how and where
you will disprove opposing views. A lot of students find it hard to identify what it is
that makes a good piece of essay writing. At the core of such writing, it is the nature
and structure of the intellectual argument.
So, what is an argument? An argument is well defined as giving of reasons, evidence
and support for a claim that something is true. Most importantly, there are two
essential elements involved in addressing arguments as the basis of critical thinking.
The first component is argument identification and the second element is argument
evaluation. In this section, we will focus on identification of argument.
It is important that you recognize which kind of essay questions need some judgment,
and then be able to construct a compelling, convincing argument in your essay
writing. A key cause of complaint from tutors is that students at all levels do not do
this perfectly and end up making their writing descriptive instead of argumentative.
You may be caught by surprise to hear that the word argument does not require to be
written anywhere in your assignment for it to be an important part of your task. In
fact, making an argument then later on expressing a point of view on a subject and
going ahead to support it with evidence is often the primary aim of academic writing.

36. Comparison Of Harrison Bergeron And Harrison Bergeron
The story Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. and the short film 2081 directed
by Chandler Tuttle have many similarities and differences. Both the story and the
short film are about a boy named Harrison Bergeron who escaped from jail and ran
off to a theater. He ended up in jail for tearing off his handicaps in public. In their
community, people have handicaps in order to be equal in every way. In the short
film, Hazel and George Bergeron, Harrison s parents, switched roles. Harrison also
put a bomb under the theater where the ballerinas were performing. Harrison was
not even wearing glasses, a red nose, he did not have bad teeth, he even had all his
hair and his eyebrows. In these stories people start to realize that the equality they
ve always wanted is dangerous and in some ways torture. In the story, Hazel and
George were both sitting in their living room and watching a ballet performance
on TV. Then George gets up and goes to the kitchen and Hazel is alone. A news
report comes on the TV and it s about Harrison. The ballerina explained that
Harrison escaped jail and that people should avoid him. The ballerina stated If you
see this boy, do not I repeat do not try to reason with him. (2) In the film this scene
changes in some ways. In the film Hazel is the one going to the kitchen to wash
dishes and George stays to watch the performance. He forgets everything he sees in
a matter a twenty seconds while watching Harrison live on TV. Even though he
forgets everything he still has flashbacks from when Harrison was carried out of
their house. These changes affect the story because it was from two different point
of views. In Hazel s point of view some things don t make sense in general. Since
her brain is normal, unintelligent, she forgets everything. George is smart and that is
why he has a radio transmitter in his ear that sends out noise so that he can forget
things. In the film Harrison puts a bomb under the theater where the ballerinas were
performing. The bomb could have been fake but it made the film more intense.

brain is dopamine, which is deficient in people who have Parkinson s. The cause of
this deficiency is not known, but research suggests that several factors may reinforce
each other to produce Parkinson s disease. There may be a genetic predisposition for
some forms of the disease #8212;between 15 and 20 percent of people with
Parkinson s are closely related to an individual who displays the disease s
characteristic symptoms. In 1996 scientists identified a gene associated with a rare
form of Parkinson s disease. Genetic predisposition may be limited only to rare forms
of the disease, however. A 1999 study found that the most common form of Parkinson
s disease is not inherited, suggesting that exposure to certain environmental agents
may be a primary cause.
Although the identity of these agents remains unknown, candidates include harmful
pesticides or toxins in food; and free radicals, which are unstable molecules that may

metallic elements such as iron #8212;in the basic chemical process known as
