...The Axial Age is a duration in which new thinking emerged in various parts of the world. The Axial Age is widely considered to have be from about 800 to 200 B.C.E. The term axial is interchangeable with the word axis. The focus of new thinking in sages and schools spread across Eurasia in regions and Mediterranean region that bordered each other. In the years revolving around 500 BCE, great advances in religion, philosophy, science, democracy, and many forms of art - occurred independently and almost simultaneously in China, India, the Middle East, and Greece. In these times of social upheaval and political turmoil, a new crop breeds became the carrier of a new cultural and social order. Great religious leaders rose to prominence attracting a mass following, and many sociological, cultural, economic and spiritual changes were made. In China, for instances many individual thinkers, such as Confucius, Lao-Tse, and Mo Tzu, began to reflect on the ethical and metaphysical implications of human existence and reasoning. From their teachings arose Confucianism, Daoism and Jainism ideologies of religion. In India, the authors of the Upanishads expanded the scope of their explorations to include metaphysical thinking in the search for the ultimate truth and the meaning of life , death & its causes of existences. India experienced a dramatic socio-political and intellectual transformation, and produced the teachings of the Buddha and Mahavira. Like China, new teachings ran the whole gamut...

...The “Axial Age” is a period coined by Karl Jaspers that took place between the 8th and 3rd centuries BCE where there were major philosophical and religious developments across the world. Many different philosophers such as Socrates, Confucius, and Siddhārtha Gautama (Buddha), spread their beliefs throughout their respective countries. Eventually, the people, including the governments/rulers, around them adopted their ideologies and integrated them into their societies. During the chaotic Autumn and Spring Periods in the East Zhou Empire in China, Confucius; a bureaucrat from the Lu State, believed that a combination of ritualistic order, respect, and strong leadership were the keys to a functionable society due to growing up around much...

...Season and the planets, that’s been a question that’s has limited answers because of the limited research. In this essay we will discuss the common misconceptions that students have when understand the seasons of the earth, Along with identifying the other planets and if they have season or not. Also we will explain the aphelion, the perihelion and how it affects planet seasons. There are few common misconceptions that students think are true regarding the reasons for seasons on earth. Students usually believe that because of the earth’s distance and its orbits around the sun causes the seasons. That is because students believe that the earth is in an elongated elliptical path that causes the season depending on the distance. When all actuality the sun is in an orbit, as well as an elliptical path is an almost perfect circle. Another misconception is the earth is either far or close to the sun at various points of the path of orbit, in fact the earth stays in alignment almost constantly all year. The sun all around stays in the heat range of 5,778 Kelvin, there are no season on the sun since it is a star. The moon on other hand has various temperatures. During daylight the moons temperature grows to 253 degrees, and when its night the moon reaches -387 degrees. Mercury is in a tilt of an axis of zero. This means that there’s no seasonal type on the plant mercury. Mercury also as no atmosphere, that means that the weather changes don’t look like regular seasonal changes but...

...DIFFERENT TYPES OF AIRCRAFT ENGINE AIR INLET Air intake (inlet) — For subsonic aircraft, the inlet is a duct which is required to ensure smooth airflow into the engine despite air approaching the inlet from directions other than straight ahead. This occurs on the ground from cross winds and in flight with aircraft pitch and yaw motions. The duct length is minimized to reduce drag and weight.[1] Air enters the compressor at about half the speed of sound so at flight speeds lower than this the flow will accelerate along the inlet and at higher flight speeds it will slow down. Thus the internal profile of the inlet has to accommodate both accelerating and diffusing flow without undue losses. For supersonic aircraft, the inlet has features such as cones and ramps to produce the most efficient series of shockwaves which form when supersonic flow slows down. The air slows down from the flight speed to subsonic velocity through the shockwaves, then to about half the speed of sound at the compressor through the subsonic part of the inlet. The particular system of shockwaves is chosen, with regard to many constraints such as cost and operational needs, to minimize losses which in turn maximizes the pressure recovery at the compressor. An intake, or especially for aircraft inlet, is an air intake for an engine. Because the modern internal combustion engine is in essence a powerful air pump, like the exhaust system on an engine, the intake must be carefully engineered and tuned...

...Turbine Engines The history of turbine engines date back to nearly a century ago when Frank Whittle was the first to register a patent in 1930; six years later Hans von Ohain registered his independent work (Bellis, 2012). Frank Whittle, as an English aviation engineer and pilot, gained private financial support to start designing and manufacturing his first turbojet in January 1930 (Bellis, 2012). His first engine was a single-stage centrifugal compressor attached to a single-stage turbine was tested in 1937 (Bellis, 2012). The jet engine has become very complex engine based on simple concepts; in simplest terms, the jet engine produces thrust for flight by compressing, combustion, and accelerating air out the exhaust faster than when it came in the inlet. Throughout my career, I have maintained, troubleshot, and repaired several different types of turbine engines, all of which are similar because of this theory of operation. When looking at a jet engine, everyone usually sees the fan blades, but before this component, there is the inlet, or intake, which is the structure in front of the fan. For aircraft that cannot fly supersonically, the inlet is a basic housing that directs air straight into the fan; for much faster aircraft, the inlet is longer and contains a slight curve as it leads to the fan. This is because when the aircraft is flying at supersonic speeds, the air entering the jet engine must be slowed to subsonic speeds (“the jet engine,” n.d.). It is...

...The Dewey Bozella Story It can take some people many years to accomplish a dream; Dewey Bozella was one of those people. Mr. Bozella lived a very hard life, at the age of eight he saw his father beat his pregnant mother to death and at age sixteen his brother was stabbed to death in a fight. He then entered into the foster system and a life of petty crime. This was not a very good start at life in which he had so much going against him. At age seventeen he moved upstate New York to start a life which would involve boxing but instead he began an ordeal that would last twenty-six years. On June 14, 1977 a 92-year old woman was brutally attacked and murdered in her house. There was much pressure on the police and the district attorney to solve this crime. It wasn’t until 1983, a time in which he was turning his life around, that a tip from two of the suspects, who were convicts, would bring Dewey’s name into question. At age eighteen Dewey would be charged with murder. There was no physical evidence and that should have been the end of the case, but he was convicted based on testimony from two convicted felons. It wasn’t until 1990 that he was able to get a retrial due to the fact that his civil rights were violated. But again the jury found him guilty and he would return to prison. In prison he was able to get a bachelor’s degree as well as a master’s degree. He also had the opportunity to take up boxing, something he thought her would never get a chance to do. During...

...REACTION PAPER At the age of 16, what are you doing at this age? Ordinary teenagers at this age used to go to school particularly high school, and enjoy their teenage years. Aside from this routine, teenagers may earn money by different stuffs around them. Most of the teenagers enjoy playing online computer games as for now. And who knows you can use this stuff to earn money and lead your first step to become a successful entrepreneur or I should say technopreneur. Like Ittipat who is now a successful businessman. I just can’t imagine how these young people became successful in their life in a simple way like using technology. Ittipat made his first step when someone offer the money to buy the equipment of the online game he was addicted. Of course that way is illegal but he does not think the risk about that. Maybe this is the starter for Top to think about the business. But likes the other gamer addictive he forget his duty as a student, always playing game every day. Because of that he always get low score in his school and he didnt make up to enter state university of Thailand. Until his account became unable to use because of the transaction that he did in the game. And one day when he bought some DVD units but he was cheated by the seller of the DVD. But he didn’t give up. He try other business and like the other successful businessman, he went through many struggles in life like his family go to Shanghai because of the debt in bank, broke up with her girlfriend and many...

... has gone on through the centuries. In this country it was with the beginnings of rock and roll and has continued on today. Rock music is huge when it comes to censorship because of the allusion to sex, drugs, alcohol, and violence. The Government believes that profanity is what they need to censor people from, though the freedom of speech is a First Amendment right to all people. The Government sees it as what the average person would find offensive and lacks any serious value in literature, artistic, political, or scientific. It is the sexually explicit and violent material in the songs that makes it so a person has to be a certain age before they can buy a CD with this type of music. This is why many parents have to buy the CD’s that their children like. Many have found out in after doing research that this is a strictly state by state policy. There are families that have witness this because they have lived in different states, they can tell the difference from one to another. There are stores that also refuse to carry any music which can be offensive, even though they sell...

...so that we can capitalize on it. Since Macy’s, Inc has a long standing tradition of believing that giving back is the right thing to do (Macy's Inc, 2011) , we would like to help Kava try to recover from all the disasters they have gone through, and help to overcome the challenges that they are now facing. Macy’s will do this by addressing the issues found in the business scenario, forces involved in the formulation of the problem, and organizational and environmental obstacles impacting key stakeholders. After looking at the business scenario and seeing what the director of strategic planning had to say, it was easy to see what issues are present. Challenges now facing the island of Kava are 1) over 50% of the population are under the age of 15 years old; 2) the ethnic mix of languages and cultures indigenous to the South Pacific area of Kava; and 3) the economy for which the natives of Kava depend is constantly threatened by natural disasters such as tsunami,...

...What impacts the behaviors of individuals? There are several characteristics that contribute to this such as age, attitude, education and gender. How do these impact each other in the work place? Diversity plays a large role in the work place, many people working together daily and having to deal with many things that they may not agree with. Age Age impacts people in a few ways there is stereotyping, ageism and discrimination. Many workers that are over the age of 40 are considered ‘old’ and these people are thought to be ‘set in their ways’ and not willing to chance. This is not necessarily the truth, but they are more likely to be seen this way, this causes more discrimination and in turn more law suits. A perfect example of this is my father-in-law. He is in his 70’s and has been retired for 8 years, but he likes to work a couple of days a week to keep himself active. The move from another state proved to be very difficult for him to find work; he looked for 7 months before he was actually able to find work. This may not be because of his age, but he has been working for over 50 years finding a job one would think would be somewhat easy. Attitude Attitude impacts individuals in the workplace in one of two ways either negative or positive. One that has a positive attitude in the work place going to be do better at the job, whereas a person that has a negative attitude is more likely going to work as little as they can. One of the best ways to have a positive attitude...

...ascertain the age of N.O. As set out in Regina V. SLATER in the Saskatchewan court of appeal (2005) * appeal was denied because the crown proved that slater had not taken all the reasonable steps to ascertain the ages of his victims. * We believe that our client did indeed take all the reasonable steps to determine age before engaging in sexual activity with N.O. The first step outlined by Justice Jackson was Physical appearance. In relation to this step the defense would like to introduce exhibits A & B 1st slide: Notice the similarities of exhibit A to our complainant, she has large breasts and fits into the category of a 34-22-30 measurement. 2nd slide: Although exhibit B has smaller breasts she still fits into the same category as N.O. So put yourself in the shoes of our client, now can you guess how old she is? The next reasonable step that Justice Jackson pointed out was…Behaviour the fact that N.O. was observed drinking alcohol& smoking marijuana at a biker bush party can be used as relevant information pertaining to Chester’s belief that N.O. was not actually 13 In relation to our case The third step stated was…. The ages and appearances of those whose company the complaint has been found in…on this particular night N.O. had been found in the presence of bikers. it is reasonable to assume that to a be a biker one must hold a valid driver’s license. This makes majority of bikers hypothetically attending this party well above the age of consent. ...

...How can we describe a matured student? Could you say that you are already a matured student? Do you think that being matured is about the age or the years of existence? Well, that is not right because maturity is not about the age, instead, maturity is marked by the qualities of self-denial, determination, and dependability. The first important quality that can be found in a matured student is self-denial. We can see that self-denial is possessed by a student when he/she prioritizes or gives more importance to the needs of other people than himself/herself. There are many examples where we students experience self-denial, first is when we just want to relax or go to the mall, we don’t do it instead we just study our lessons. Another example is that when I was not able to join my high school friends when they asked me to hang-out with them because there was an upcoming examination that I will take. Another characteristic that can be found in a matured student is determination. Determination is about not giving up even if things or situations are getting more difficult. In order to be determined, we should think of our motivation in reaching our goals. As students, if we are really determined, we would still study and prove that we can do our bests even if our teachers put us down. Also, if we fail, we should stand up and don’t lose hope to make things right. Last, but probably the most important measure of maturity is dependability. Dependability is a characteristic possessed...
