...Dr. Chan Thrs 231 Jannie Or Paper1 I disagree that the best way to study religion is learning from a page from the World Almanac. The information is not accurate and not adequate when comparing the world non-Christian on a few paragraph. First, Among all those ambiguous religion questions, one of them is very difficult to answer- who is the founder of the religion? According to the informative paper: "Founder of Hinduism--The Aryan invaders" which actually in the modern history people consider that there is no single founder. However, the religion is originally established by God Himself (dharman tu sakshad bhagavat pranitam) which claimed by the ancient scriptures of India; as well, "Islam's founder is Muhammad" who is known as rasul Allah, or God's Messenger to the Arabs, and to all of humanity. In my opinion, it is very difficult to specified the founder of religion into a particular person. The sacred text is difficult to conclude in some religion. For example, Buddhism's "sacred text is the Tripitaka" however, Buddhism's sacred text might include not only The Tripitaka, the Mahayana Sutras, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead. I need to think the reason why only list The Tripitaka as Buddhism's sacred text might be it is because The Tripitaka is the most important one. Another problem is how to classified the most influential sacred text, the information is not very precisely stated. For example, the sacred text of Hinduism can...

... We agree to something and we decide to put it on paper for how long no matter what comes up we stick to it. Now contract can be so testy we don’t know if we are breaching it or right on task. There are contract almost everywhere that we go, when we get a car, buy a house, even when you sign up for a credit card you are putting yourself in a contact. Now every time that you think about something that you want to get into a contract with, it's always smart to think research and make sure that what you are doing is great for you. For example people everyday get into a new car contract because they really need it. Now I have done this in the past but before we got into the contract I made sure that we were able to afford it. Now something that my wife does is takes all the information that we gathered from the car lot and made sure that it would fit in our budget. Now after a long talk we were able to come to the decision that we would take the car. But we wanted to make sure that this is something that really wanted to, I know that if we were not going to be able to afford it then we would be in more trouble for not having that ability to pay for it. Now we are really going to get into this car contract a little deeper and by that I mean we are going to see what is good and what is bad about all decision that will be made in the final hours of the contract. So we will skip past the months that you test drive, and research everything about the new vehicle that you want. And...

...September 11, 2001 9/11 was an inside job. A bold statement to a beginning of a bold paper. Several credible people support this claim. 9/11 is a very touchy subject, as it should be. This research paper will offend most people. The attack was very real. The deaths were very real. The people responsible for the attack was not the Taliban. 9/11 was an inside job, 9/11 was a false flag operation designed to get the American people to back a war that we had no business to be in. Moving forward know this, I have the upmost respect for our military and the lives lost due to 9/11.

To increase sales, you should • Train all salesclerks to be more helpful, friendly, and courteous to the customers. • Target sales to fraternity members and freshmen. • Run ads in The Daily Illini on Fridays stressing the style and quality of Redwood and Ross's products and stating the store hours and campus location. • Advertise special sales so that price-conscious students will go into the store and become familiar with the products and store qualities. If Redwood and Ross continues its present promotional activities and fits the new advertising strategy into the program, awareness will increase, which will lead to greater sales in the long run. I enjoyed having the chance to apply marketing theory to a real problem. If you have any questions about the material in this report, please call me. Sincerely, [pic] Deanna...

It can only be speculated how language began and evolved; the lack of direct evidence suggesting that it is perhaps a riddle that cannot be solved (Deacon 7). Yet this has not stopped many various theories from emerging over the years, speculations ranging from wild guesses to educated, scientific deductions. According to prominent linguist Eric Heinz Lenneberg, theories surrounding the origin of language are categorized into two main groups: continuity theories and discontinuity theories (Hill 134). Continuity theories hold that language was formed through a long process of evolution. Discontinuity theories are based on the belief that language is too complex to have evolved out of natural systems and is the result of a significant evolutionary jump which took place relatively abruptly. On the side of continuity theories...

...Video research paper Kim Peek: The Real Rain Man Kim Peek was known as a savant, something so rare it was said that an individual such as himself with such abilities only comes around once every century. Kim has the amazing ability to read and memorize books and other things in a way that seems nearly impossible. He truly has a rare gift. Kim is able to memorize things that like books, addresses, calendar dates, birthdays and several other things that that most people couldn’t even remember after a few hours or minutes. Contrary to this nearly unbelievable ability to read and retain information, Kim has a hard time doing things that most people don’t even think about doing or put very little effort into. Kim can’t simple things such as combing his hair, getting dressed, or holding a simple conversation is often a struggle for him. Kim is socially outgoing with poor social skills. Kim wants to engage in conversation but he’s not really sure what to talk about. If some ones asks him a question on something that he has memorized in the past he can give you answers all day, but if he is asked something like a metaphor he thinks that the metaphor is literal, and he tries to come up with an answer, whereas most people wouldn’t even think twice about simple metaphors, it almost registers in one’s mind automatically. Doctors examined Kims brain to make comparisons of his brain to a normal brain and they discovered that his Kim was missing connectors...

...INTRODUCTION Every year more and more ships are lost through fire and collision. Shipboard fire alone, however, results in more total losses of ships than any other form of casualty. The most common causes of shipboard fire are: maintenance, burning and welding are responsible for nearly 40 percent of all outbreaks. Smoking leads to countless fires that break out when no one expects. Lack of attention, spontaneous combustion and electrical faults are the major causes. The engine room is at special risk from flashbacks in oilfired boilers, leaky pipings carrying oil, overheated bearings and even the accumulation of rubbish (oil rags, dirty oil, tins of oil, etc.). According to Mikhail Grigorevich Stavitskii 1983, if most shipboard fires can be prevented, then who is responsible for preventing them? The answer is that fire prevention is the shared duty of each and every member of the crew. No fire prevention effort or program can be successful unless it involves everyone aboard ship. We have noted that every crewmember is responsible for the fire aboard ship. Similarly, every crewmember has a role in the ship's fire prevention program. Because attitude is so much a part of the fire prevention, it is also the most important part of the fire prevention program. So as with the Fire Figthing, if there is a fire aboard ship, everyone aboard ship must form the emergency response team. According to Lobo Gruppe, Oslo 1987, the emergency response team are consist of the following...

While I believe this show only proves to ramp up the paranoid to believe that we live in a society where you're tracked and monitored every step of your day. Some people live with the belief that the police and government agencies truly are watching our every move, even in our own homes. And are they? What does the research say? While a little far fetched, this TV show does bring up a valid point. Did you realize that every traffic light, and most streets, especially in larger cities, are equipped with a camera equipped with facial recognition in an effort to track terrorists and other criminals? Do you also realize that your own personal cameras can be used by hackers, terrorists and law enforcement? As I type this paper from my laptop, it's...

...WR-123 Research Paper NOT ALL MONSTERS ARE MAKE BELIEVE - A CASE STUDY ON THEODORE R. BUNDY What causes someone to become a serial killer? Is there something inherently evil about them that emerge as they age, or are they born that way? Do they become that way because of their upbringing? Most Psychologists feel that it is a combination of all these things that determine the psychosis exhibited by serial killers. (www.psychology.org/links) Psychologists have looked into the darkest recesses of human behavior, to try to figure out how and why people commit such gruesome and brutal atrocities against their fellow human beings. One of the best cases of documented psychopathic behavior is that of Theodore R. Bundy. On November 24, 1946 Theodore Robert Cowell (aka Ted Bundy) was born. His mother was a single young woman who decided the best course of action was to move back home to have her parents help her raise her son; as in the 40’s it was not acceptable for a young single woman to have a child out of wedlock. Until the age of four, Ted believed that his mother was his older sister, and grandparents were his mother and father. (Rule, A: The Stranger Beside Me) The signs that something was dreadfully wrong with Ted began to show themselves very early in his childhood. When Ted was barely three years old, one of his Aunt’s stayed the night with the family. The Aunt woke up in the early morning hours to find her young nephew Ted, lifting her blankets...

...was the Piltdown man? In 1912, Charles Dawson (an amateur antiquarian and paleontologist) made an audacious claim to fame; he asserted that he had discovered the missing link between man and ape1,2,3. Such a “transitional form” rocked the anthropology world as the final nail in the coffin, linking humans to apes by a common ancestor3. Prior to this find, the only evidence of transitional forms was the ancient Java man, the Heidelberg jaw, and Neanderthals1. Since the publication of Charles Darwin’s, On the Origin of Species, British anthropologist had been desperately searching for the remains of a transitional form that would simultaneously prove the theory of descent from an ape like ancestor, and show that Britain had played an integral role in human evolution4,5. The Piltdown man was able to deliver on all accords. Charles Dawson discovered the specimen in...

...wellbeing conclusion was not gladly available. In the 10 ear gap from 1987 to 1996 the number of RTAs had increased by 65%. The usual policeman statistics from 1992 to 1996 recognise two foremost determinants of RTAs; person going by car mistake, and strains with travellers, pedal cyclists and vehicles defects accounting for a little number of RTAs. CAUSES OF ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS Most traffic misfortunes are initiated by multiplicity of factors. This may be a blend of human mistakes and failings, poor street measures and situation and vehicle defects. Traditionally, RTAs are split up into three groups; therefore the Man; the Vehicle and the Traffic Environment. These three constituents are the foremost components which considerably assist to RTIs premier to either death or disability. Gekonge (1990) discovered that 85% of determinants were attributed to man; while 6% to the vehicle and 9% to the traffic environment. The ecological components include: therefore street defects, animals, diverse obstruction and The weather. He discovered that street defects for example potholes do not appear to be a foremost origin f street misfortunes against the conviction, that potholes and other street defects have been considered to be the major...

...captain in the Australian Army Medical Corps, served in England and France. In England, Dart took a post at University College, London, as senior demonstrator in anatomy. Then, he spent a year on Rockefeller Foundation fellowship in USA. He married to Dora Tyree, an instructor in anatomy, in 1921. In January 1923, he moved to South Africa, as a professor of anatomy at The University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. In November 1924 Dart was given a fossil skull that had been found recently at Taungs. He extracted the fossil from the hard matrix and found that the skull was a child’s. It was a mixture of apish and human features. Its teeth were human-like while its brain was the size of an ape’s. Raymond Dart had found the missing link in the man-ape line of evolution. He died on 22nd November 1988 at the age of 95 in Reno, Nevada. I am interested in Raymond Dart’s work because it is fascinating to see what a unique species we are, and how we have evolved into what we are today. I also think it is important to understand the differences between us humans and animals. Raymond Dart’s scientific areas of expertise was neuroanatomy (he taught neuroanatomy in university) and palaeoanthropology (since he discovered the ‘Taung Baby’)....

...Behavioral or Trait Theories Juliana Daza Medgar Evers College PSYC 215-Theories of Personality Professor Maureen D. Jarus April 27, 2012 A personality theory is a system of concepts, assumptions, ideas and principles proposed to explain different personalities. Personality theorist seek to explain human behavior in terms of inner causes, instincts, feelings of inferiority, needs, conditions of worth, intentions, and so forth. In this research paper, I will be exploring both behaviorist theory, as well as the Trait theory in trying to understand serial killer Wayne Bertram Williams. Behavioral Theories The Behaviorist theory places importance on the external environment, and on the effects of conditioning and learning. Ivan Pavlov was the first psychologist to discover and explore this theory at the beginning of the twentieth century. He demonstrated this form of learning which became known as “classical conditioning” in an experiment with dogs. He would place a small amount of meat on a dogs tongue, and after continuing to do this many times, the canines would salivate before they were giving the food. Before long, the dogs would begin to salivate as soon as Dr. Pavlov would enter the room. He realized that this was a reflex, whereas one stimulus will be followed by another r stimulus, because the two stimuli occurred close together. This reinforced that behavior can be attributed to experience. B.f. Skinner on the other hand, argued that most behavior is learned...
