...the cause of blue eyes. The genetics in La Brana´s eyes went wrong somehow and made what is called a mutation, that, created the first blue eyes in the world. As the generations went on blue eyes spread throughout the world. But let's get back to La Brana 1, he was a caveman and lived in a family with all brown eyes. Scientists believe that in the beginning of the world everybody had brown eyes, and scientists still don't know how La Brana 1 got blue eyes other than the mutation, and that's how La Brana 1 got blue eyes. So, now let's compare blue eyes to brown eyes. Let's start with the simple stuff, they both have a certain amount of pigment in them to be colored, pigment is the stuff that makes your eyes have color. They both have irises in the eyes, and they both have normal eye shape and structure. Both brown and blue eyes make tears and have tear glands. So now let's look deeper in the eyes, the eye structure is the same so they both have a retina, ( a part of the eye that can detach easily) both have all the normal parts of the eye. Those are some of the similarities that blue eyes and brown eyes have, now let's talk about differences. Differences? How are there differences? You may be asking yourself these questions, but there are differences to the eyes. People with brown eyes have a different facial structure than people with blue eyes, and they have different colored pigment in their eyes. The genetics of the eyes are different, the would have be the same color if...

...Well I am here to tell you about HOW both speeches compare. What were the differences? What were the similarities? Read on and you will find out. How was Barrack Obama’s speech like? Barrack Obama’s speech was very long; maybe because it was his victory speech, after all he did win the place as president. What I also saw was that Obama did not talk only about him, he talked about us. He didn’t boast in Romney’s face, he said that he hopes that they could work together. What was the surroundings like? Well I know for sure that it was huge, the headquarters in Chicago was humongous. There were also a lot of people in the headquarters listening to Obama’s speech. How was Romney’s speech like? Well Romney’s speech was not too long. The speech was technically all about how he would make a better president if he won; I think that is why it is called a concession speech, because concession means to accept that something is true, or acknowledging defeat, and it is a speech. In all his speech he only talked about how he would make a great president, and how his wife would make a great first lady. I also realized that there were barely any people. How do both speeches compare? Well let’s tell the differences first. First, Obama’s headquarters in Chicago held more people than Romney’s did. Second, Romney’s speech as shorter than Obama’s. Third, Obama did not only talk about himself, he talked about us. Now let’s talk about the similarities. First, they both were speeches by two respected...

...In Greek mythology there’s this one man whose name is Prometheus. He was a powerful deity and they have similarities with Equality, protagonist of Anthem. So let’s talk first about the first part. Prometheus stole fire from Zeus and gave it to humans. Humans can now make war, their own food, and etc. This made Zeus mad that he punished him by having him chained to a rock. Now, let’s talk about Equality’s part. On page 35, you’ll see that Equality stole candles from the Home of the Street Sweepers. Not only that, he also stole many things like manuscripts, flints, knives, papers, and etc.Why did Equality stole them? It’s because he uses it for his creations, experiments, and he rebels to his society. All the transgressions that Equality had committed were against the rules. Now, let’s take a look at their differences. First Prometheus stole fire,and Equality stole candles. Do you see the difference? We all know that fire is for candles so it has some connections in it.You know fire and candle thing. Was Equality chained too? No, he was put in a ‘’prison cell’’, but the reason was different. As you read in this essay, you’ll see the reason why Prometheus stole the fire from Zeus....

...Let’s Move Campaign Twinkies, Dunkin Donuts, Supersized fries, X box and Play Station Games, are all staples of today’s youth. These staples are causing an alarming problem in the youth of America. In the past 3 decades childhood obesity rates have tripled according to the United States Government website on the Lets Move campaign. In fact studies show that obesity in African American children and Hispanic children is almost at a staggering 40 percent. This alarming fact has caused First Lady Michelle Obama to make eliminating childhood obesity her number objective during the President’s term. Mrs. Obama launched on February 9, 2010 the “Let’s Move” program, a dedicated program to get kids off the couch and become more active and to eat healthier. With many young Americans faced with obesity, the goal of Lets Move is to promote a healthier life style in a younger generation. Studies as reported on the Center of Disease control show that if a child is obese early in life they will be more than likely obese as an adult. Obesity as reported in numerous websites is the leading cause for diabetes, heart problems and certain cancers. No one can pinpoint the exact cause of why more children are obese. Theories including; less school activity at recess and gym, larger portions of foods, less eating at home, no after school playing are some of the reasons cited for the problem. These current trends if left unchecked will only cause a greater problem for generations to come....

...act is motivated only by our own self interest. Even when an act appears on the surface to be totally unselfish it is in all reality a selfish act. Simply feeling good about doing an “unselfish act” makes it selfish. Ethical and Psychological Egoism may seem similar at first glance but they are actually quite different. We will discuss these two theories and their differences, compare the doctrines of motivation for both and discuss selfishness and self interest. Let’s first take a look at the fallacy of Psychological Egoism. The fallacy of Psychological Egoism is the belief that people are only motivated by self interest but as we all know there are many things that can motivate people to do things. Take for instance the seven deadly sins; sloth, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed, and pride. Any one of these can be a motivating factor. So it is easy to see that the fallacy of Psychological Egoism is the erroneous belief that the only motivating factor is self interest. Furthermore you can never know without doubt that you are acting in your definitive self interest because your actions could have undesired results in the future. Psychological Egoism fails without the ‘method of reinterpreting motives’ (Rachels, 1995). Now that we know the shortcomings of Psychological Egoism let’s discuss the versions of Ethical Egoism. Ethical Egoism...

...Accepting differences in people leads to harmonious relationship Mediator: Good afternoon to all of you. We are all the products of our own individual upbringing and experiences so it is completely natural that we will all have differences in opinions on a wide range of issues. So we are here now to witness a debate with a topic of accepting differences in people leads to harmonious relationship. In my right side are the pro we have Joana, Maria Nicole and xyrah. In my left side are the against we have Ronin, Christopher and clarries. So let’s get started. Pro: (xyrah) Accepting differences in people leads to harmonious relationship definitely because as we accept that we are different from each other we are starting to build up a good relationship with others. Well a good relationship can lead great ideas, creativity and achievement. Against: (clarries) I have nothing against your point; however did you ever think already that if we treat each other equally it can lead more to a harmonious relationship? Against: Definitely, that is also what I’m thinking because as we accept that we are all equal, like the gender equality what boys can do girls can also do. With that I think we can achieve a more harmonious relationship if we accept that we are all equal. Pro: Well yes I get your point but we really need to accept that we are different from each other. We have different capabilities, likes and dislikes, different lifestyles and others. We are really...

...Welcome to our Week 1 Discussions! To get us started, let's consider the following questions. 1) Would a traditional income statement differ depending on whether the business is a service organization, merchandiser, or manufacturer? 2) Could we use managerial accounting tools to assess the profitability of an organization other than a manufacturing business, or are the topics that we are learning only related to manufacturing? 3) If we could use these concepts in service and/or merchandising businesses, how would we go about doing so? Let's start with the first question. According to Casteele (2013), income statements are important to most business. It allows owners, managers, and shareholders to see how money is flowing into the company. This article also stated that service and manufacturing companies have several differences between their statements since the businesses have different types of expenses and different income sources. The article further explains, businesses adapt their income statements to their needs based upon the industry the business is in. A business in the service industry could not use the same income statement template as manufacturing industry businesses, because of the significant differences in how the businesses operate and earn money.

...Welcome to VangoNotes for Organizational Behavior, 13th edition by Stephen P. Robbins and Timothy Judge. Chapter 1: What Is Organizational Behavior? Section 1: Big Ideas Do you ever wonder why people at work behave the way they do? Or why you act as you do? Chapter 1 sets the stage for learning what Organizational Behavior is, how it will help you understand yourself and others at work, and what some of the organizational behavior issues are that people are talking about today. Let’s start with interpersonal skills. Practicing managers have long understood the importance of people skills for organizational success in today’s competitive and demanding workplace. Who do we mean by managers? Managers get things done through other people. They do it by planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Managers also fill interpersonal roles, such as being a leader, a liaison, or a figurehead. They serve in informational roles such as monitor, disseminator of information, or spokesperson. Finally, in their role as decision maker they might be entrepreneur, disturbance handler, resource allocator, and negotiator. All these roles are important to the functioning of the organization and its people. Who’s the best manager you’ve ever known? Think about the special skills that helped this person to be effective. Researcher Robert Katz has identified three essential sets of management skills. The first set includes technical skills, the ability to apply specialized...

...First, a few basics on Hangul (Don't worry! You will be reading in Hangul perfectly extremely soon!). Hangul is an alphabet, just like the Roman alphabet English speakers use. The only two differences are Hangul blocks syllables, and there are no lowercase or capitalize letters in Hangul. The letter is always written the same, no matter when it is used. Characters will be stacked into squares to form each syllable. For example ㅎ, ㅏ, and ㄴ are three separate characters. But, as they would form one syllable, they would be written 한 instead of ㅎ ㅏ ㄴ. ㅎ + ㅏ + ㄴ= 한 want another example? ㄱ + ㅡ + ㄹ = 글 We then combine syllables to form words, just as we do in English. 한 + 글 = 한글 Recognize that word? That's right! It's Hangul . It consists of han (한) and gul (글). Two syllables. Six characters. As you begin to learn all the different characters, you will see how to construct the syllables properly depending on which character you are using. Just keep this one thing in mind. Every Korean word, syllable, anything...begins with a consonant. A vowel will always follow it, either positioned to the right of it, or below it. With each vowel, I will tell you where it should be positioned. Also, there will be 2,3, or rarely 4 characters in a syllable. 한 is one way of stacking, having the vowel to the right of the first consonant, with the third character under those two. 글 is the other main way of stacking, where the vowel falls below the first consonant, with the third character below...

...guides published after each exam sitting, there are a number of consistent themes that crop up in almost every one. The one single most common complaint from examiners is “students just don’t answer the question”, but there’s a whole range of different ways of not answering a question… Many students are determined to prove how much they’ve learned, regurgitating learned material, and ignoring the question. Others answer only part of the question, even though the examiner may have required several things to be done in order to get full marks. Some answer the question they hoped would be there, rather than the one that actually is. Whilst doing any of these will make it difficult to pass an exam, another very common reasons for getting poor marks within the exam lies in misinterpreting the verb. Firstly, let’s look at verbs in the syllabus… The syllabus Each syllabus section contains a series of learning outcomes. These are the things that you might be asked to do in the exam. If there isn’t a learning outcome, there can’t be a question in the exam. In addition, the learning outcomes set an upper limit in the skill level for that area of the syllabus. Let me explain… Every learning outcome uses a verb, or verbs, from the approved hierarchy published with the syllabus (see Figure 1). This hierarchy gives a brief definition for each verb, but also ranks it in one of five CIMA February 2010 1 levels. Although the hierarchy is upside-down, it’s fairly obvious...

...“Critical Thinking – Hinduism Worldview” Hinduism is the world's oldest extant religion, with a billion followers, which makes it the world's third largest religion. Unlike other religions, Hinduism is a way of life, a Dharma, the law that governs all action. It has its own beliefs, traditions, advanced system of ethics, meaningful rituals, philosophy and theology. In this paper I will attempt to explain my view on Hinduism worldviews and will also elaborate on differences between Christianity and the Hinduism religion. The question of Origin asks "How did life begin?", "How did I come into existence? There is no central person to whom Hinduism can trace its origin unfortunately. The word “Hinduism” is not to be found in the scriptures, making it difficult to present a moment in time when the movement launched. Hinduism is a system that “attempts to maintain a complex polytheism on the one hand, and an earth-based worship of nature on the other” (Hindson and Caner, 263). Somewhere in the middle, these two religious impulses collide, and Hinduism is born. The question of Identity seeks to identify "What does it mean to be a human?" Hinduism states that humans are the highest of all creation. Souls can take many births in lower forms to get the eligibility to be born as human. Life can form lower than human beings, such as insects, plants and animals to name a few. The question of meaning/purpose asks, "Why does mankind exist?”, “Why do I exist?" In Hinduism they...

...Text Preview I)Appraise the results of operations of Prestige Data Service. Is the subsidiary really a problem to Prestige Telephone Company? Consider carefully the differences between reported costs and cost relevant for decisions that Daniel Rowe is considering. 1.The prestige Data Services grew from the needs of the Prestige Telephone Company to meet their needs of data handling at the time but the problem now is that the company is still operating at a loss. But is that a problem for the parent company? We do not think so, if the Prestige Data Services does not exist anymore, the Prestige Telephone still have to pay for the cost such as: lease, maintenance, computer services..., but they get no contribution. In order to check if the data provided are relevant to make the decision at hand, the data has to satisfy the following criteria for it to be a relevant data. •It has to be an accepted future revenue or cost, •It must have an element of difference among the alternatives The future alternative may be to short down the site but some costs need to be considered- the cost of getting these services from another company, the loss of the corporate service revenue. Also there are benefits to be considered if this subsidiary is not existing, the vacated space could be used for another profitable purpose, since the parent company provide some services to the Data services, these services can be canceled, the employees can also be reduced thereby saving on labour costs.

...they can just give you one dollar. Poverty means sleeping in a bed with your three other siblings and sharing the little bit of bread your mom could get. It means not being able to send your children to school, not being able to send them off to college and not being able to give them the life they deserve. About ½ of the Earth's population lives off of less than $1.25 a day. People around the world are suffering and we wealthy countries aren’t doing anything. If we have the chance to unite in countries and help each other, then let’s take that chance. But in the process, let’s not reject our own people. There are thousands of people in the United States that are living on the streets. That have nowhere to go and live off of the food people give them. There are people on the streets here in Nevada that live on the ground and feel shameful when people look at them. They feel hate, disgust, repulsion all from one stare.

...The Speed Math Bible written by Yamada Takumi, with the special collaboration of Danilo Lapegna Transform your brain into an electronic calculator and master the mathematical strategies to triumph in every challenge! "The 101 bibles" series More Ebooks ..Ahashare.com I - The Speed Math Bible I'm quite sure we could all agree about a fact: the traditional way to teach mathematics has a lot of structural problems, and in most of cases it doesn't really help students to get confident with the subject. In fact, too many students finish their schooling still having a real "mathematical illiteracy", united with a burning hatred of everything concerning numbers and operations. In particular, talking about classic method of teaching mathematics, I'm strongly of the opinion that: It's really poor incentive for individual creativity: in fact, too many times school will teach you that the proper method for performing a set of calculations i s "rigidly" one, and that everything should always be made in the same way. This obviously can't do much more than boring every student and generating the feeling that the matter itself, rather than improving one's mental skills, actually shrinks them, gradually transforming him/her into something that's more similar to an industrial machine. This book, however, is designed to go far beyond this restricted vision and will teach you that the classic approach is not the only possible approach and that every set of mathematical calculations can...
