...they found out that the feather was matched to a kind of bird called “Hyacinth Macaw”. They have 4 suspects including the two neighbors, namely Rory Kendell and Zach Alfano and the two fumigators, Ted Martin and Nate Allen. They examine the outside of the tented house by snapping photos of the tent, discovered a trail of sand leading from it and straight to the neighbor’s house. They interviewed Rory Kendell and found out that he haven’t left his place and has been laid up in his house for two days and asked for a urine sample to test if he is affected in the sulfuryl fluoride poisoning. In the laboratory, they found out that the termite fumigant enters the victim bronchioles causing his lungs to fill with fluid. They also noticed the bruise in the victim’s cheek. One of the chemist revealed that several prints of the clamps in the open window is matched to Zach Alfano. Brass then interviewed this person in the hospital obtaining some information. Alfano tried to help the victim by entering the window but due to suffocation he failed to do so. He ran out of the tented house without Mr Beckmann. According to the results of urine analysis of Rory Kendell, he is positive of...

...Crystal Huesca Professor Wallace ENGL 1302 Composition II November 9, 2015 Infestation in Africa Collie, Asher. "Sole Hope - Offering Hope & Healthier Lives in Uganda, Africa." Sole Hope. N.p., 2014. Web. 23 Nov. 2015. This website was by far the most interesting one that a viewer can come across when researching about the jigger flea. It is a valuable resource that describes how a group of passionate, committed people are putting closed toed shoes on African children, one pair at a time. It all started with an encounter with a YouTube video, a video that touched a young couple so deep that in their hearts they knew that they had to do something to help the children who lived in Uganda. They realized that not only could they help African children live lives free from jiggers, but they could also help African men and women by teaching them a trade, how to make shoes. Young couple and founders of Sole Hope, Asher Collie and her husband Dru Collie, lived an ordinary American life. Dru managed a chain of coffee shops and Asher was building her photography business and taking care of their young children and foster children. Just by online researching and a couple of trips to Africa the couple realized that there was an issue that needed to be dealt with. Together they formed a team that created medical clinics, provided education, and jobs for the people in Uganda. After the expansion of their organization they knew they had to create a web-site that provided...

...years as a nation. The Exodus, meaning way out or departure, is the impressive liberation of the Israelites from enslavement in Egypt, under the guidance of Moses. Throughout Exodus we are introduced to a God who is the Lord and Savior of his people. Exodus covers a crucial period in Israel's early history as a nation. Most conservative scholars believe the Hebrews left Egypt about 1440 B.C. Some believe it took place much later, around 1280 B.C. About two-thirds of the book describes Israel's experiences during the two years after this date (Sanford, 1996). This was the period when Israel traveled through the wilderness toward Mt. Sinai, and received instructions from God through Moses, as he met with God on the mountain. Summary and Analysis of Passage: Moses, while tending his sheep in the desert near Mt. Horeb, comes across a burning bush and thinks to himself “I will go over and see this strange sight – why the bush does not burn up” (NIV, Exodus 3: 3). When the Lord sees that Moses has come over to look, God calls to him from the bush, Moses approaches the bush God tells him that the ground he is standing on is holy, and he should remove his sandals. He then proceeds to instruct Moses to return to Egypt to free the Israelites from bondage. Moses has fears that no one will believe him, and expresses his doubts to God. God then reassures Moses that he will succeed and that the Israelites will believe that he has been sent by God the Almighty. Moses is still reluctant...

...W.B. Yeats's "The Second Coming" W.B. Yeats' poem "The Second Coming" was written in 1919, just one year after WWI ended. The beginning of this poem reflects on how evil has taken over the minds of good Christians, and the world has turned into chaos. It is apparent that Yeats believes that a Second Coming is at hand, and he spends the last half of the poem discussing what that Second Coming could look like. Turning and turning in the widening gyre (line 1) Yeats imagines the world in a cyclical sphere known a gyre (shape of a cone). In Yeats' note on the text, he states that "the end of an age, which always receives the revelation of the character of the next age, is represented by the coming of one gyre to its place of greatest expansion and of the other to that of its greatest contraction" (2036). Yeats believes that the two thousand years of Christianity will be coming to an end, and after a violent reversal a new age will take its place. The widening part of the gyre is supposed to connote anarchy, evil, and the loss of innocence. The falcon cannot hear the falconer; (2) The falconer in this analogy is most likely God (or Jesus), and the falcon is the follower (or devotee). Humanity can no longer hear the word of God, because it is drowned out by all of chaos of the widening gyre. A wild falcon can symbolize an unconverted Gentile; someone who has sinful thoughts, and does sinful things. A tame falcon (one who listens to the word of God) is a Christian convert. In the...

...when you have diarrhea. The second issue is called Giardia lamblia. Which is a single-celled protozoan parasite that lives in the intestine of infected humans or animals. It is found on surfaces or in soil, food, or water that has been contaminated with the feces from infected humans or animals. Giardia lamblia can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches (WHO). Giardia is the leading cause of waterborne disease, which is a disease caused by contaminated drinking water. Also giardia is caused by recreational water, which is from swimming pools, hot tubs, fountains, and many others. Those places are contaminated with sewage or human feces. A good thing about giardia is that it is not spread by contact with blood. It is only spread by swallowing recreational water. Swallowing even a small amount of pool water that has been contaminated with the Giardia germ can make you sick (CDC Lamblia). Always remember while swimming in a pool, do not swallow the water. The third issue is Legionella bacteria. Which is commonly found naturally in the environment, mostly in water. Bacteria grows best in warm water, for example like the ones found in hot tubs, cooling towers, hot water tanks, large plumbing systems, or parts of the air-conditioning systems of large buildings (WHO). Having Legionella bacteria in your water is a huge health risk if the bacteria is aerosolized, for example in a shower and then inhaled. And if it is inhaled it can result in a type...

...but you are asked to be king and leader of your country? Would you refuse your king, and turn your back on your country, for the sake of two? Ridley Scott, director of Universal Pictures “Gladiator,” brought to life, writer David Franzoni’s epic tale of Maximus, an inspiring and powerful Roman General. After twelve years of fighting, Maximus longs for nothing more than the warm embrace of his family. Unfortunately, the king, Marcus Aurelius asked that he should be crowned king of Rome instead of his corrupt son Commodus. Maximus is caught in a power struggle, which leave him and his family condemned to death. This critical analysis of the motion picture “Gladiator,” will analyze the key elements of film, which embody the storytelling, acting, cinematography, editing, sound, style and directing, societal impact, genre, film criticism and analysis. The story of Maximus, once the most powerful, and respected, general, in Rome, reduced to a slave who fights for an opportunity to exact his vengeance for the brutal death of his family is written with three basic elements. It has character, desire, and conflict. The narrative structure of the film is organized in six stages. These stages are developed by the turning points in the plot. The stages are the initial setup, new situation, progress, complications and higher stakes, final push, and aftermath. In opening scene of “Gladiator,” the initial setup reveals the day and life of Maximus; it identifies him as powerful and...

...purification. For industrial water purification, see deionized water. For distilled water, see distilled water. For the treatment of sewage see sewage treatment Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, biological contaminants, suspended solids and gases from contaminated water. The goal is to produce water fit for a specific purpose. Most water is purified for human consumption (drinking water), but water purification may also be designed for a variety of other purposes, including meeting the requirements of medical, pharmacological, chemical and industrial applications. In general the methods used include physical processes such as filtration,sedimentation, and distillation, biological processes such as slow sand filters or biologically active carbon, chemical processes such as flocculation and chlorination and the use of electromagnetic radiation such as ultraviolet light. The purification process of water may reduce the concentration of particulate matter including suspended particles, parasites, bacteria,algae, viruses, fungi; and a range of dissolved and particulate material derived from the surfaces that water may have made contact with after falling as rain. The standards for drinking water quality are typically set by governments or by international standards. These standards will typically set minimum and maximum concentrations of contaminants for the use that is to be made of the water. It is not possible to tell whether water is of an...

Acda Department of Forest Products and Paper Science, College of Forestry and Natural Resources University of the Philippines Los Baños, College, Laguna 4031 Philippines This study investigated the use of waste chicken feather (barbs and rachis) as reinforcement in cement-bonded composites. A series of composite boards consisting of various proportions of waste feather, cement, sand, and chemical admixtures were prepared. Mix workability decreased significantly as the proportion by weight of feathers or ground feathers increased from 5% to 20%. Boards containing 5% to 10% fiber and/or ground feather by weight showed comparable strength and dimensional stability to commercial wood fiber-cement composites of similar thickness and density. Stiffness, flexural strength, and dimensional stability of the feather-cement boards decreased as the proportion of feathers was increased above 10%. Higher proportions of feather, however, showed significant reduction in modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR), and increased water absorption and thickness swelling after 24 hours of soaking in water.

References: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/embalming References: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/embalming Embalming is the preserving of a corpse from decay which was originally done with spices but now is usually done by arterial injection of preservative. How were mummies embalmed? References: http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/mummies/story/page2.html References: http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/mummies/story/page2.html The mummies body would be taken to the ‘ibu’ or the ‘place of purification’ this is then were the embalmers would wash the body with wine and rinse it with water. Next one of the embalmers would make a cut in the left side of the body to remove the internal organs (they are important to be removed as they are the first part of the body to decompose). The liver, lungs, stomach and intestines are washed and packed in natron to dry them out. The heart however is not taken out of the body. A long hook is used to smash the brain and then it is pulled out through the nose. The body is then covered and stuffed with natron to dry the body out. All of the fluids and rags from the embalming process will be saved and buried along with the body. Once forty days have passed the body is washed again with water and then it is covered with oils to help the skin stay elastic. The dehydrated organs are then wrapped in linen and returned to the body. The body is then filled with dry materials such as saw dust, leaves or linen so it looks...

...Javed 1 Talha Javed Professor Cagidemetrio 13th March 2015 Paper 2 Psychological Subtexts in Kanafani’s Men in the Sun Ghassan Kanafani’s novel, Rijal fi al-Shams, translated by Kilpatrick as Men in the Sun, is a work that has a realist, relatively straightforward storyline but is deeply complex in its various interpretations and profound symbolism. Though the text is brief, it conveys influential messages and thus it is renowned as an exemplar of Palestinian fiction, and considered “among the best in Arabic literature” (Kilpatrick 12). Through its plot, Men in the Sun illustrates the plight of Palestinians and the psychological subtexts of the novel act as focal points of Kanafani’s writing. Through analysis of symbolism and several distinctive interpretations of the story, this paper seeks to underscore the important subtexts related with the journey of the characters that are embedded within Men in the Sun. The story of Men in the Sun presents a disaster that ends with three tragic deaths. It describes an incomplete journey in which three men attempt to cross the desert between Basra and Kuwait. The three men are from different generations: the old man Abu Qais and the young man Asaad and the young boy Marwan. Travelling from the refugee camps, where the three men stay, to Kuwait is a central motivation for the main characters who are smuggled in a water tanker. These three men moved to Basra to cross the frontier into Kuwait, with the help of a guide. The main aim of...

Alonzo, Krizzel Marie M. Sevilla, Rica Allona N. Flores, Ma. Cristina D. Mangulabnan, Kimberly M. March 2015 I. INTRODUCTION Glomerulonephritis literally means inflammation of the glomerulus or the clusters of microscopic blood vessels in the kidney that filter wastes and fluids from the blood. It includes a number of disorders that affect the structure and function of the glomerulus without any prominent inflammation. It is therefore also referred to as glomerular disease or glomerulopathy. In glomerulonephritis, various known and unknown causes trigger immune activity against the glomeruli which damages it. It is characterized by body tissue swelling (edema), high blood pressure, decreased protein in the blood (anemia), and the presence of red blood cells (hematuria) or protein (proteinuria) in the urine. (Christian Nordqvist, Medical News Today, 2009) Collin, Rull, and Huins (2012) articulated that glomerulonephritis results from a variety of immune and inflammatory mechanisms. It is often described as primary, when it arises on its own and originated on the kidney, or secondary, when glomerular involvement is part of a systemic disease like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and polyarteritis nodosa. Furthermore, glomerulonephritis can be classified...
