...noticed strange and unusual lights? Chances are that you’ve might have just seen a UFO. Aliens may be all around us but are being kept discreet from mankind. There may be supernatural operations occurring at Area 51, where aliens are being tested and advancing our technology we have today. Area 51, may be testing on aliens, but it hasn’t always been that way. Area 51 is a military base located 100 miles from Las Vegas. It was originally used to test aircrafts such as the U-2 and OXCART surveillance aircraft which dates back to the 1950’s. During the time period of World War 2, it was believed that Area 51 was used during World War 2 as a training ground for the US Army. It was also believed that aircraft flew out of the base to secretly photograph the Soviet Union and their military operations. But as of today, many people feel this has changed. Today it is believed that Area 51 is a testing ground for supernatural beings and their technology involved....

...ENG. 111 Area 51: Alien testing facility? Area 51 is located near the town of Rachel, Nevada; Groom Lake surrounds the base (Strickland). To enter Area 51 you need a top secret clearance, a need to know, and an invitation by the upper most ranks of the CIA (Jacobsen xi-3). The majority of employees travel to Area 51 on unmarked aircraft from Las Vegas (Strickland). The U.S. government has never officially admitted to the existence of Area 51 (Jacobsen xi-3). This fuels the Alien controversies surrounding Area 51; theorists believe the government has aliens and alien aircraft on site (Strickland). Have aliens visited Earth? It is possible but unlikely that aliens are at Area 51. The majority of conspiracy theorists believe aliens crashed at Roswell, New Mexico, on July 2, 1947 (Soodin). The UFO wreckage and three aliens were retrieved by the US military and sent to Area 51 for research. Lieutenant Walter Haut, a public relations officer at Roswell Army Air Field, claims to have seen the UFO and the alien bodies (“Roswell Theory”). He describes the aliens as having enormous heads and being approximately three and half feet tall. General William Blanchard wrote an official statement saying the Army had recovered UFO remains on the 8th of July, 1947 (Strickland). According to Haut there was a second crash site where more wreckage was recovered. This is why the U.S Army gave the first statement to take the attention away from the more significant site (“Roswell Theory”). ...

...“Letter from Birmingham Jail” by Martin Luther King Jr., presents a well-constructed critique of the white church in the 1960s. In his letter, King skillfully composes an argument utilizing ethos, pathos, and logos to call the church to action. He remarks, “I have been so greatly disappointed with the white church and its leadership” (King 5). King’s letter, addressed to his fellow clergymen, describes a Civil Rights Movement that Jesus himself would have likely participated in: “Jesus Christ, was an extremist for love, truth and goodness, and thereby rose above his environment. Perhaps the South, the nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists” (King 4). Furthermore, King’s frequent reference to scripture and citation of the...

...accurate and should actually be considered credible is up for debate. On one side it is argued that use of this information is credible and valid, and on the other side it is argued that the information is unreliable and not worthy of citation. Arguments for Wikipedia Wikipedia is basically a free encyclopedia that allows users to edit the information it contains. In the website’s own words, Wikipedia states that “their scientific articles come close to the level of accuracy in Encyclopedia Britannica (Wikipedia, 2012)”. When an outside source edits information it is reviewed and tested for reliability. Any edited information that is not accurate is taken out of the section that it appears in. The process of scrubbing doesn’t happen as quickly as preferred by most people, but the process does lead to the information being reliable. “The website’s ease of use is expected to serve as a self-regulating tool, designed to ensure or at least promote accurate, verifiable, and unbiased information from its 85,000 users. (Matei, Dobrescu, 2011)”. These facts lead students to believe that Wikipedia is indeed a credible source of information for scholarly use. Arguments against Wikipedia While Wikipedia does satisfy research requirements in the areas of currency, relevance and...

...Midterm Essay of Mills and Dahl The representations in political science about aspects of political theory and such subjects like representation or group action are relevant to the understanding of the current political atmosphere in the United States today. Their relevance to political science becomes important in understanding the mechanisms of equal representation or the function of the government because political thinkers such as C. Wright Mills or Robert Dahl wrote and discusses the aspects of who governs, who is represented, and who rules in a democracy like the United States. While C. Wright Mills and Robert Dahl worked off the ideas of one another, they also maintained different ideas in the sense of such subjects. Applied to the current political scene today, their philosophies provide a unique understanding of who governs as well as give their respects to the ideas of the Founding Fathers. What lasting philosophies of these two men provide in context to the state of current events? Author R. Hofsteadter published a book entitled The Founding Fathers: An Age of Realism and the contents of the the publication argued that the Founding Fathers of the United States held a particular view of their fellow man, one in which shaped their thinking and ultimately, the writing of the Constitution. Hofsteadter argues that the Founding Fathers of the country held a rather negative view of their fellow countryman. Such view made an impact of the writing of the Constitution and...

...He states, “ As previously observed, in 1851, almost 6 percent of England’s population, including the newborn-to-nine-year-old children, were Irish immigrants who arrived during the previous ten years. I estimate that only one-third of their children were born in England and that the remainder had been born elsewhere. However, all female children, wherever their place of birth, figured in the group of newborn-to- nine-year-old girls, which implies that the birth totals in 1841–51 in relation to the conversion factor for 1841–51 are about 4 percent too low, because my method assumes that all children younger than ten years old who lived in England in 1851 were born there.” (Nusteling 62). Many of Nusteling’s methods use his own estimates, and he disregards information that contrasts his points by using equations (Nusteling). The analysis of the population decline of the Irish potato famine is biased towards his views in his...

...Plato. Thus a supernatural identity has always been the centre of attention among people, Empire, states, ever since man has been derived by intuition of knowing certain things. God has been called by people at times of distress and reassurance. The ancient Egyptians and civilizations called gods when shaken by ordeal. Christians remember God as the embodiment of salvation. People offered god with festivals, coronation ceremonies and even blood sacrifices. The identity of God is perceived differently by people of different beliefs, times and areas. The image of God ranges from Pantheism in the Vedic references to strict Monotheism in Islamic scriptures. This idea is imperative for proceeding and constructing research based on pure rational and Philosophical grounds. The objectivity demands reviewing God and existence within the context of a specific frame of thought and then appropriate approach is utilized to construct an argument. Thesis statement:The belief in God is a cardinal question in dealing with the soteriological and moral implication of mankind which is better contemplated by reviewing theodicy which dealt in the problem of evil and objective morality. This issue has its significance as some contemporary scholars assertion that the problem remains the greatest challenge to theism even after ample work is done resolving the matter. All this is important as it is directed to Abrahamic faith which make more than half of the world population. What makes Islam...

Abstract Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for rapid application development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python’s simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed. This reference manual describes the syntax and “core semantics” of the language. It is terse, but attempts to be exact and complete. The semantics of non-essential built-in object types and of the built-in functions and modules are described in the Python...

...respective Chicana and black, “native tongues “. The pros and cons of their arguments is contrasted against authors’ Allen, Chapman, O’Connor and Francis (2007), whom address the significance of language and writing within the area of professional nursing that upholds the elite verbal and written communication standards practiced in nursing today. The Communications and the Language of Nursing The language spoken in the profession of nursing requires a wide spectrum of core communication skills that provide a verbal bridge of common understanding of illness, healing, wellness or prevention. These skills require the continual change and transformation of the nursing profession’s language. From the perspective of the patient’s bedside and nurse-to-nurse communications, through the nurse to the specialist, the criteria for common core can be acknowledged. Additionally, the personal slang and reflections of self identification shared in Anzaldua and hooks’ essays demonstrates the immediate need for the requirement of a common core language required to maintain and protect the elite standard of care expected in the medical profession, as a basic minimum to keep the focus on the patient’s care and medical wellbeing. Metamorphosis of the Professional Identity of Nursing The nursing profession is “enveloped in metamorphosing their professional identity” (Allan, Chapman, O'Connor, & Francis, 2007, p. 47-51).

...NATURE V.S. NURTURE The Nature vs. Nurture debate is one of the oldest and most commonly debated psychological conflicts around. Arguments from both sides on this subject are hard to dispute. Whether it is in our DNA or it was predisposition it’s hard to agree or disagree with either stand-point being that they both offer interesting and intriguing views that are insightful, informative and unfortunately unfounded. With that being said it’s still an argument that will continue to stand the test of time and continually be debated for centuries down the road until a definitive explanation can be fathomed. Nature vs. Nurture is a phrase for the long-standing controversy as to the relative influences of genetics versus the environment in the development of personality traits. Nature is represented by instincts and genetic influences and nurture by social influences and environment. The Nature part of this debate is influenced by the idea that we get our traits and characteristics from our DNA and nowhere else. It is easy to ascertain and prove that we get our physical traits such as eye color, hair color, height and otherphysical traits from DNA. The unknown is whether we get our more abstract traits from DNA like character, intelligence, sexuality and preferences to likes or dislikes. The Nurture side of this is debatea agrees that genetic influence is a key factor in the abstract physical traits but nothing more. It also goes on saying that the environment that we...

...Richard Smith BMGT 482 Socioeconomics Essay Professor Rick Schultz March 31, 2013 How Socio-Economic Programs Impact Contracting Small business plays an integral part of the US economy in job and wealth creation. The U.S. uses the procurement process to advance socioeconomic policies and objectives. As a result, the Federal government has a vested interest in ensuring the growth and health of small businesses by creating opportunities for these enterprises to get a slice of federal dollars through government contracts. Socioeconomic Programs originate from the Small Business Act created in 1953, which declares “it is the policy of the United States that small business concerns shall have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts let by any federal agency, including contracts and subcontracts for subsystems, assemblies, components, and related services for major systems” (SBA, 2011). In 1997, Congress established a 23% goal for the awarding of federal contracts to small businesses. These programs, which include incentive, set-aside, and preference programs, give small businesses and small businesses owned by special minority and disadvantaged groups’ advantages in bidding on federal contracts. The following five types of socioeconomic programs require agencies to limit competition on certain contracts to qualified small businesses so that small firms do not have...
