...Checking if this works… nothing to see here. Heroin is an opiate drug that is synthesized from morphine, a naturally occurring substance extracted from the seed pod of the Asian opium poppy plant. Heroin usually appears as a white or brown powder or as a black sticky substance, known as “black tar heroin.” How Is Heroin Abused? Heroin can be injected, snorted/sniffed, or smoked—routes of administration that rapidly deliver the drug to the brain. Injecting is the use of a needle to administer the drug directly into the bloodstream. Snorting is the process of inhaling heroin powder through the nose, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream through the nasal tissues. Smoking involves inhaling heroin smoke into the lungs. All three methods of administering heroin can lead to addiction and other severe health problems. Side Effects of Heroin Use Heroin is metabolized to morphine and other metabolites which bind to opioid receptors in the brain. The short-term effects of heroin abuse appear soon after a single dose and disappear in a few hours. After an injection of heroin, the user reports feeling a surge of euphoria (the "rush") accompanied by a warm flushing of the skin, a dry mouth, and heavy extremities. Following this initial euphoria, the user experiences an alternately wakeful and drowsy state. Mental functioning becomes clouded due to the depression of the central nervous system. Other effects that heroin may have on users include respiratory depression, constricted...

...Organisation Structures For P3 in your assignment you have to describe the formal structure of two organisations. The following notes will help you to understand why organisations have formal structures. You should also understand the types of structures organisations have and the factors that influence the structure and changes to structure in an organisation. Why Do Organisations Have Formal Structures? In a small business most of the tasks needed to operate the business are carried out by a few people. The owners will be responsible for setting objectives for the business and making the key decisions. They will also be responsible for key activities such as managing finances, advertising, selling, dealing with customers, managing staff and buying stocks and other materials. The activity for ‘Sally’s Flower Shop’ illustrates this point. In a large business more organisation is needed. A large business employs a lot of people and it is necessary that the roles and activities of each employee are identified within the organisation. It is important to make sure that there is enough staff fulfilling all necessary activities to enable the business to operate and achieve its aims. Within the organisation there must be a process for setting objectives and making decisions and control and co-ordination of activities to make sure objectives are being met. In order to make decisions and control and co-ordinate activities there must be a hierarchy (different levels) of...

A well-designed course adheres to a strict teaching method and rhythm. In developing and adjusting the method, the course designers have closely studied the results obtained by many of our learners, and have taken into account their relevant comments and criticisms, so make the most of the experience of those who have gone before you and follow the recommendations closely! Of course, it’s not easy to judge a method before you’ve tried it, it makes sense to choose one that offers a money back guarantee. 2 Make a point of studying every day Language learning is rooted in the idea of constant repetition. For example, if you learn 10 expressions and then interrupt your studies, this is what happens: the next day you will have forgotten one of them, the following day two, the day after that 3, and so on. But if you study regularly, everything becomes easier and the "wastag" extremely limited. 3 It is absolutely essential to pronounce the French text out loud Get rid of the idea once and for all that you can learn to speak "in your mind". Repeat out loud. Nobody’s spying on you! When you learn a language you gain the respect and admiration of others. A French person who makes...

...There's nothing to say about nothing. Still, some people make a fuss about it. Among spiritual seekers, there's a lot of talk about "becoming nothing". On this site about nothing, we're not going to talk about "nothing", because "nothing" can't be talked about. When people talk about "nothing", they're not really talking about nothing, they're talking about something. It's not a real nothing, it's a "nothing" they can hold in their mind. It's a nothing that feels like something, perhaps a black hole, perhaps a lonely place. They have words for it, perhaps "void", "emptiness", "nothingness". Nothingness is not nothing. It comes and it goes, so it's got to be something. You can look at it. You can hold it. You can throw it out. And when you throw it out, what's left?... ...And that's all we're going to say about that. This little introduction has nothing to do with the articles on the site. It's just here to confuse the philosophers and perhaps intrigue a few people with a genuine interest in nothing. This is a site about nothing. We hope you enjoy it. Perhaps you'd like to start with a 25-second playful video clip about a show about nothing? love numbers. And I have always loved computing. That's the whole reason computers have had such a strong pull on me since 1981, when my mom's boyfriend decided I should have my first computer: a Sinclair ZX 81.

...Hermesmann 1 Anna Hermesmann Nothing From Nothing: Concepts of Justice in King Lear Ex nihilio nihilfit—“nothing comes from nothing.” In the pre-Christian world of Shakespeare‟s King Lear, this doctrine rules as the actions of the characters prove futile and tragedy results. Lear fails to maintain order in his kingdom and his family; Gloucester loses his sight; and Cordelia, the only one who really loves her father, dies. Critics such as Samuel Johnson have argued that because of Cordelia‟s death, Shakespeare‟s ending is flawed, that he fails to follow the “natural ideas of justice” by allowing “Cordelia to perish in a just cause.” In 1689, approximately eighty years after Shakespeare completed the first text of King Lear, Nahum Tate published an alternate ending to the play in which Cordelia lives and eventually goes on to rule in her father‟s place. While this “happy” ending was performed as if it were Shakespeare‟s original for decades afterwards, it actually runs contrary to the original version of King Lear by applying Judeo-Christian human concepts of justice to a world that is not governed by a just God. In the nihilistic world Shakespeare creates, there is no just force to establish an objective morality, and therefore, the rules of right and wrong, and the consequences of each, are obsolete. Thus, because King Lear is set in a world in which the generally accepted rules of justice do not apply, Shakespeare‟s ending, including the death of the only truly virtuous character...

...Dad shouted down the stairs ‘come down here now’! The X Box was buzzing with excitement as I reluctantly passed my game which was my favourite pastime since my mum walked out on my dad, me and my sister three years previously.. I remember that day she left like it was only yesterday, it was though I was prepared emotionally for the intolerable pain which tears you apart, like a stone heavy on the heart, but I know now that I really wasn’t. Every morning, every meal times, every evening it hurt so badly I wanted to hurt her too. I so badly need her here, to feel her love, to touch out to her. I remember bedtimes which were for stories and adventures, the touch of her gentle hugs, the smell of her softly shampooed hair, and the sparkle of her soul. She’s now my ghost, an unfelt, unspoken memory of the past. Dad was still shouting to me from the bottom of the stairs as I drifted away from my childhood memories. He was holding a letter and had a face like thunder as he crossly waved the envelope towards my outstretched hand. ‘I think it’s your Mothers writing’. Boom Boom Boom!! Sounded the fastness of my heavy heart as I gingerly took the letter from my dad and uttered not a word as I backtracked without a backwards glance to my haven. A mixture of apprehension, fear and anger crashed over me like a tidal wave crashing against my skull, how dare she contact me yet again and put me through all this pain. Slowly, Slowly I open the letter and gingerly remove it from its personal...

...------------------------------------------------- Philosophy Western philosophy Some would consider the study of "nothing" to be foolish, a typical response of this type is voiced by Giacomo Casanova (1725–1798) in conversation with his landlord, one Dr. Gozzi, who also happens to be a priest, “ | As everything, for him, was an article of faith, nothing, to his mind, was difficult to understand: the Great Flood had covered the entire world; before, men had the misfortune of living a thousand years; God conversed with them; Noah had taken one hundred years to build the ark; while the earth, suspended in air, stood firmly at the center of the universe that God had created out of nothingness. When I said to him, and proved to him, that the existence of nothingness was absurd, he cut me short, calling me silly.[3] | ” | However, "nothingness" has been treated as a serious subject worthy of research for a very long time. In philosophy, to avoid linguistic traps over the meaning of "nothing", a phrase such as not-being is oftenemployed to unambiguously make clear what is being discussed. Parmenides One of the earliest western philosophers to consider nothing as a concept was Parmenides (5th century BC) who was a Greek philosopher of the monist school. He argued that "nothing" cannot exist by the following line of reasoning: To speak of a thing, one has to speak of a thing that exists. Since we can speak of a thing in the past, it must still exist (in some sense) now and from...

...Unit Two Text Questions 1. What are positive and negative space? Positive space is the area of an artwork occupied by the primary subjects. Negative space is the area of an artwork around the primary objects. 2. Identify and describe the three different types of balance in artwork. Symmetrical balance occurs when the weight of the artwork’s composition is evenly distributed. Approximate symmetry occurs when the objects are not identical, but balance has still occurred in the artwork. Asymmetrical balance or informal balance happens when the visual weight in the artwork is not evenly distributed. 3. What is proportion? Proportion relates to the dimensions or size of the different objects or areas in the artwork. 4. What is "hue"? How can hue affect artwork? Hue is simply another name for what we think of as color. Hue can affect artwork by adding depth to the painting. 5. What is balance in art work? Balance relates to distribution of aspects such as color, visual weight, space, texture, and so on within the artwork. Critical Thinking Questions 1. Choose one of the pieces of art from the unit.

...Nullity and Void Jasmine mentioned that she would like to make her current marriage to Annabelle null or void in some way. The meaning of marriage is the union of 2 people meaning since all the formalities were upheld their marriage is valid. The Family Law Act 1975 s 51 (FLA) states that a marriage may be null if the marriage is considered void. Void is not defined in FLA or Marriage Act 1961 (MA) however, In the Marriage of Miller (1983) 49 ALR 689 it is defined as the validity of the marriage being challenged. Void also means that the marriage was invalid from the beginning due to an essential defect that caused the marriage to never come into effect. In accordance with s 23B (1) of the MA, the only way the marriage is able to be made void is on one or more of the grounds stated in subsections (a) through (e) in the aforementioned act. There was no prior existing marriage when the wedding took place therefore this does not apply. They did not begin a prohibited relationship when they married therefore this section does not apply. All formalities were followed as mentioned above consequently this does not apply. A lack of marriageable age does not apply as they were both old enough to marry. If the marriage lacks real consent it will be considered void. Lack of consent is divided into three sections. Mistaken identity does not apply as their identities did not change. As they both had enough mental capacity and understanding of the ceremony, this element does...
