...example, palmistry deals with prediction of a person’s future by examining their hand, but that does not means a person without limbs has no future in this case the person is simply not eligible for this process just like an atheist who does not believes in religious foundation of ethics but has his/her own understanding and application of it. If we observe, religion’s claim on ethics are basically the same, for example the seven deadly sins in Christianity, The noble eight-fold path for cessation of suffering in Buddhism,the three-fold path of life in Jainism, Five evils in Sikhism, the path to salvation in Hinduism, moral duties in Islam. All the religion laid an ethical and moral foundation for its followers and believers. But nature breeds so many other living beings that practice ethics without the knowledge of .existence of religion. it has many such examples that directly or indirectly practice ethical values in their actions of day to day lives. A child who does not understands anything about religion acts ethically in various circumstances as the teachings (at home, school) and his/her observations in environment are clubbed to his persona. Getting into the ethical grassroots a dog is a pet known for its loyalty towards his/her caretaker. Loyalty is a moral virtue according to human practice and is followed by living beings in spite of there no involvement in any religion or an...

...reasons of course but he still lived for what was right. Two thousand four hundred years after his death however, the Nazis managed to destroy the very essence of justice, and life, for millions of their victims. In Auschwitz, as with all concentration camps, justice was non-existent. There are very important things missing from Auschwitz that Socrates would have considered essential for justice to exist. Let us start by confirming above all things that the main point of punishment is a consequence of wrong doing: the degree of punishment agreeing with the degree of crime (hopefully but not always the case). That is the basic idea of justice in my mind. For Primo Levi and twelve million others of the Nazi’s victims in the concentration camps, this was most certainly not the case. Yes the Nazi’s did have political and criminal prisoners that somewhat earned their spot there but the large majority of the prisoners never did anything wrong whatsoever. This is the first and most clear way in which justice was destroyed. Their crime was existing, whether they Jewish, gypsy, handicap, or what have you. On top of that, the crimes against humanity that the Nazis committed were so horrible, so grotesque and unspeakable, that the only deserving victims of such treatment were the ones responsible for it. Socrates stated "Happiness surely does not consist in being delivered from evils, but in never having them." (Gorgias) The second method in which justice was destroyed in Auschwitz was the...

...Abstract The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a characterization tool used to image sample surfaces. The AFM operates under many modes and can be manipulated to be used under many different circumstances. Previously, the main applications of the AFM included analyzing surfaces of materials and surfaces forces. More recently, applications of AFM have come to include analyzing living cells as well. By changing the type of tip used to polymer ones, living cells can be scanned without damaging them. Also, because AFM can be done in a liquid environment and dehydrating or coating the sample is not necessary, it aids in creating more accurate image analysis. Some modifications of the AFM that can be made besides changing the material of the tip include using the cantilever without the tip, using different cantilevers, and analyzing samples in different environments. These changes allow the AFM to be used to monitor many different living organisms as will be further described in depth later. The AFM has advantages over both TEM and SEM in that living organism samples are not destroyed during preparations. One limitation of AFM includes the fact that scanning one sample can take several minutes while analysis of an SEM sample occurs in near real-time. Applications of AFM will continue to expand and improvements to the technique will continue to be made. Introduction to AFM Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an imaging technique that can be used in a number of different scientific...

...Watersheds, Watersheds, Watersheds Water is essential to have for any living thing, any given day. Most humans use, consume, or waste the most amount of water. Humans have the mindset that water will never run out, when in fact that is just the case. Our water is slowly vanishing, being contaminated, or wasted. There are key factors to take into consideration when determining how our water is doing not only internationally, but globally. When it comes to water, the World Health Organization (WHO) is one of the main corporations responsible for passing along the information on how the water security is doing. There are more ways to infect water than to help it. The WHO clearly states on the front page of the water section of their website, “The amount of fresh water on earth is limited, and its quality is under constant pressure. Preserving the quality of fresh water is important for the drinking-water supply, food production, and recreational water use. Water quality can be compromised by the presence of infectious agents, toxic chemicals, and radiological hazards” (WHO). This is just an emphasis on the importance of being aware of the preservation of water and how it easily it can affect anything when infected. The WHO does everything in order to ensure the safety of the water and creates opportunities to become informed about the water one drinks. Water has a huge affect on anything living. Water has the same impact on the United States as it does globally. If water...

...Absentee ballots played a large part in the debacle of the 2000 election. By Florida law, overseas absentee ballots could be counted until November 17. Overseas absentee ballots often come from wealthy Americans living abroad, or from members of the military. At midnight, the deadline passed for receipt of overseas absentee ballots. There were an estimated 2,300 of these ballots for Florida (over 25,000 overall), which were expected to have an impact on the final results. After counting the overseas absentee ballots, Bush's lead over Gore increased to 930 votes in Florida. Bush picked up 1,380 of them and Gore received 750 votes. Democrats sued Seminole County Canvassing Board for including certain absentee ballots in the vote totals that did not satisfy the legal requirement that the person requesting the absentee ballot provide the elector's registration number on their application. Although the Democrats could make a valid legal argument for challenging these ballots (and thereby likely stopping Bush from padding his vote lead), this move left the impression among many that Al Gore was a hypocrite. The Bush team dropped its lawsuit intended to force Florida counties to reconsider overseas military ballots that were rejected for technical reasons. Presumably, they wanted to avoid criticisms of hypocrisy similar to those made against Al Gore. On November 27th, Another lawsuit arose. Apparently, Republican volunteers in Seminole County corrected mistakes made by...

...Introduction to business model innovation in mobility and automotive aspects The purpose of the following paper is to demonstrate the different possibilities of business model innovation in mobility and automotive aspects. More precisely, the written report focuses on business model innovation in respect of urban mobility. Since, urban mobility is getting more and more relevance of future management tasks. Moreover aspects of car sharing and renting cars are discussed in literature often. Therefore, the paper gives a detailed overview of the theoretical and practical background of business model innovations of urban mobility including automotive issues. The paper is structured in three main passages…. Mobility is a basic condition for participating in working life. Other relying aspects of mobility are engaging in social, cultural and political activities and availing educational opportunities. In the future, urban mobility will cost 829 billion euro by 2050. The amount of people and goods transported is expected to triple. On top of that, urban mobility will use 17.3 % of the planet´s bio – capacity (Lerner, 2011, pp. 1-15). The development of automotive issues and mobility reflects the economic, social and technical trends in the cities. The population of cities is constantly growing both for demographic reasons and migration into cities aspects. Cities are the central points of economic growth and thus of individual prosperity which lead to a growing differentiation...

...SOLAR ENERGY INTRODUCTION Without the sun, living life on earth is indeed impossible. Sun as we known is a ball of fire that gives us light and heat. The energy that we receive from the sun is called as the solar energy. With the help of this energy serious problems regarding energy that is needed everyday can be solved. Solar energy means capturing the rays of the sun and storing and its heat. This heat can be converted with the help of solar panels into heat or electrical energy. When we talk about solar energy, there are two kinds of solar energy namely, thermal energy and electrical energy. Thermal energy is something which we can find everywhere and is totally free of cost. It helps us ding our daily chores like dries things such vegetables, clothes, heats water, and many other things. Water can basically be heated in two ways i.e. actively and passively. In active method, when a heating element inside the solar hot water system heats the water during hot season. In the passive method the water is pre heated and flows through a cold inlet that of a conventional electric geezer. Talking about electric energy, the power of the sun is used to produce electricity with the help of solar cells. It can be used through a solar home system that helps in conducting electricity where there is no power supply. Apart from that it can be used a system where the electricity supplying utility is connected to the property and lastly it can be used as a backup system where...

U.A.E is also known to be an oil-wealthy company and therefore most of the business’ prevailing there are that of oil mining or oil production or oil marketing. A major portion of U.A.E’s population is dominated by the immigrants from the east. People from Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India and Iran are in majority. However, Arab nationals and Americans and Europeans also live there. The culture of U.A.E mainly comprises of the Arab values and norms. It shares significant aspects of its cultures with neighboring Arab countries and the larger Arab culture. However, the emigrants try to bring their own culture to emirates and therefore the now we can see a modern and urban style of living in U.A.E.

About Microbes within Athletic Facilities Microbial populations of viruses, bacteria, and fungi are among the oldest living things on earth. They require very little to grow--moisture, specific temperature, and a food or energy source are all it takes to get them going. For some microbes, their food source can be anything from which they derive energy. Some get it from minerals in the earth and can grow on bare rock, while others get energy from any organic material living or dead When colonies of...

...differences. Bilateral kinship does not have a descending family chain. Instead they start with "ego" which is the person who's life the perspective is taken. This is where the group starts in this type of kinship. This is extremely useful when you are living with a nuclear mobile family, and usually includes neolocal residence. The group then continues upward(backwards) to create a family tree, thus creating a family kindred group. On the other hand there is descent groups. Which start with one person who is usually no longer living and descends downward(forward) in time to whomever is biologically connected to the starting person. It is usually unilineal which means it only includes one side of the family to form the group instead of both. It is either matrilineal or patrilineal depending on the society you are living in. Descent groups have 2 distinct laws. The first is that it has to be a public or recognized social entity and it requires a direct lineal descent from a specified ancestor. All members of the group must always be related to the specified person. It can be either a lineage descent group, it can't go back further than 10 generations. Or it can be a Clan. Where several linked lineages gather to make up a large clan. It includes more generations and usually shares legendary, mythical, or religious importance. Each of these types of kindred groups main purpose is to create the strongest possible functional group and to keep the family history growing....
