...Volcanoes: There are 169 volcanoes in the United States. Eighteen of them have been designated as "Very High Threat Volcanoes" by the United States Geological Survey. These volcanoes have divested large areas with volcanic blasts, invaded their surroundings with lava flows, produced large mudflows that have swept over hundreds of square miles, emitted noxious gases that have caused lung ailments and produced ash clouds that have brought down passenger jets and blanketed thousands of square miles. Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier are active volcanos, their domes has been visibly growing for a number of years. Both St. Helens and Rainier have been produced spurts of increased seismic activity in the last couple of months. Japan is a series of volcanic islands with 10% of the world’s active volcanoes. The atmospheric jet stream has the potential of depositing ash across North America just as irradiated debris from the Japanese nuclear reactors landing in the United States. Table of Contents Xeosiei 2 Koejdhksj 4 Section I (Introduction) It is impossible to determine why a person commits a deviant criminal act. For every person that commits a crime there is some form of motivation. In the United States crimes are committed for the most part because there is no worry or concern on the part of the criminal that they will be accountable by society. Individuals commit crimes for a variety of reasons: (1) the lure of "easy" money (stealing...

...evidence of human settlement in parts of present day Scotland that dates back to 6,000 BC. The first residents were hunters and fishermen. About two thousand years later, another group of people arrived -- the Neolithic people. There is still some evidence of their stone houses in Orkney. The Bronze age brought the Picts, who lived in the region north of the Firth of Forth, and the Celts, who had come to live in regions of Britain and Ireland further south. The Picts were known for their metal work used for hunting and in wars. Scotland (Alba or Alban) consisted of four different races. The Picts of Celtic, perhaps of Scythian stock, predominated lived from Caithness in the north to the Forth in the south. The Britons of Strathclyde stretched from the Clyde to the Solway and further south into Cumbria. The Teutonic Anglo-Saxons that later arrived, held the lands to the east south of the Forth into Northumbria and the kingdom of Dalriada, to the west, including present-day Argyll, (the land of the Gael). Kintyre and the neighbouring islands were occupied by the Scottish people from Northern Ireland in the third and fourth centuries. During this period, the Picts and Scots were always at war with themselves rather than fighting their enemies. By the end of the seventh century, the four kingdoms of Alban were united in the Christian faith, but not much else. Even the constant raids of the Norsemen, that began in the eighth century leading to the conquest of Orkney, Shetland...

...English. Some are regional, while some are national, perhaps because of the relative sparsity of Anglo-Saxon. However, we need to be aware that in the Anglo-Saxon period, too different varieties of English were used. OLD ENGLISH AND SCOTS: In discussing the notion of old English being used in Scotland we need to add the qualification that in the Anglo-Saxon period there was little sense of English as a unified language.What we are talking about is the extent to which a particular variety of old English extended into Scotland. The Scots were originally from Ireland and settled in what is now Scotland around 500 AD. Also present in Scotland at this time were the Picts, and it was not until 843 that Scottish and Pictish dominions were untied by Kenneth MacAlpin, the first king of the Scots, as the language of the Picts gradually died out. The predominant language in Scotland became the Celtic language Gaelic. However, the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of northumbrian dialect would also have been common on the English-Scottish border. A Scottish dialect of English emerged in the middle English period , during the reign of Malcolm III of Scotland who used English as opposed to Gaelic as the language of his royal court . Consequently , Gaelic never achieved the prestigious position it would have needed to survive as the language of Scotland . OLD ENGLISH DIALECTAL DIFFERENCES: Old English was relatively free in terms of word order. It should not be too surprising to learn, then...

...For at least 1,500 years a legend has been told over and over in the Scottish Highlands that Loch Ness is home to a mysterious aquatic animal. When the Romans first came to northern Scotland in the first century A.D., they found the Highlands occupied by fierce, tattoo-covered tribes called the Picts, or painted people. The Picts were amazed by all the animals and took great care in drawing them. All of the animals they drew are easily recognizable… except for one, which has attained a mythical status. It’s a very strange animal with an elongated beak or muzzle, a head locket or spout, and fins instead of feet. In Scottish folklore, large animals are mostly associated with bodies of water, from small streams to the largest lakes. These “water-horses”...

...magazines main focus lays on the United Kingdoms culture and, of course, its history. The content The article itself is written by Ben Johnson, and describes some events related to the United Kingdom through the times of the Roman empire up until the 18th century. It starts off with a short presentation of the roman empires estates, and how it was planned to grow even further. It then goes on to explain how the romans tried to tame the “wild barbarians” of Scotland and northern England. It shows how Britain changed under the influence of the romans, and how much roman flair remained throughout Britain, after the Romans left the country in 410 Anno Domini. After the events of the Roman-British history, the article also states that the Picts, Irish and Scots plundered various regions of Britain, and how the Brits got use of the Saxons as protection. In 866 parts of Britain were under Danish control, which also left its marks on British culture, in street- or place- names such as Stonegate or Swinegate. They also changed the name of York to Jorvick. The Norman invasion of 1066 introduced complex stone buildings to Britain, which weren’t present before, and also they spread their perception of a good government, which was sustained mainly through unity and order.

...2/25/2012 ENG 260 W. Bell Anglo Saxon Evolution Anglo Saxon people came from Germania and went to Britain after Martian became the Emperor of the Roman Empire and ruled for seven years. Prior to that occurring Britain was composed of the Celtics, Scots and Picts. German mercenaries came and lived on the northern areas of Europe. The Anglo Saxon people thought highly of themselves and felt confident that they conquered Britain. The conversion to Christianity, which occurred in the late seven and eighth century allowed them to have new authors who were considered important because of their work. Their work together touch basis on topics such as commentaries of biblical teachings and the most important topic in Christianity is sexual withholding, abstinence, and virginity. What made their work unique was that they wrote in Latin. They managed to accomplish this during a time where there weren’t as many other writings being written in other languages in Western Europe. The Germans had a different dialect which was mostly spoken in the North. There were similarities in the language spoken by the Britains and the Germans. Eventually this changed with the Anglo Saxon because their language was different from the people that they had left behind. Today this language is what is known as Old English. Our Modern English comes from this Old English. When you start comparing Old English, Latin, Greek you will find that most of the words have similar vocabulary meanings...

Essays should also be submitted electronically via Moodle in most cases. “In our spiritual roots of Christian faith in these lands we have this sensitive, powerful, community based, care free mission church. Perhaps this church, more than any other, discovered what God has truly given to these lands, a missionary responsibility that is not to do with the imposition of Western Culture and manipulation, but with a humble, foolish abandonment to the Gospel of the Lord Jesus.”[1] Celtic Christianity, tradition and history, is acknowledged as the first Christian Church outside the Holy Land. Since Celtic Christianity was established prior to the first century it is classified as pre- Nicene . Christianity from that period, is sometimes referred to as "primitive” Christianity. [2] In his day, Julius Caesar noted that the entire Gallic nation was very religious.[3] Of course, he was speaking about pagan Celts, but a deep religiosity has been a characteristic of the Celts in general over the centuries, and especially during the Christian era. Alexander Carmichael (1832-1912) , who collected folklore in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland during the nineteenth century, is another,...

...Wikipedia’s growing popularity leaves society to question its reliability in many aspects including accuracy of information, susceptibility to exclude false or biased information, and quality of writing. The best way to analyze is to look at a specific Wikipedia page and diagnose it. For historic purposes, the Wikipedia page “Viking expansion” provides information on the Norse, mainly known as Vikings. Rather than evaluating this page on the Norse expansion and settlement throughout the world, looking at the specific Norse activity in the British Isles will be more effective. This page describes the invasions that the Norse people from Scandinavia done throughout the years in the British Isles, including the reasons and rulers. It also provides background of the British Isles including which languages and religions were used or practiced in a certain area. From there, like the background information, the events of expansion are listed on the page in chorological order starting in 793CE; each listing how the invasion happened, who was ruling at a particular time, and battles. The end of the page gives a brief acknowledgement of written records and archaeological evidence. At first glance this specific Wikipedia page looks excellent, but looking deeper into the pages strengths and weaknesses made its reliability fragile. Wikipedia has policies that state articles are to contain no original research, a neutral point of view, and that all of their information must be verifiable...

...TCP/IP & OSI MODELS. ASSIGNMENT NO 1st M.NOMAN ARSHAD BSIT-F13-LC-08 MISS SUBEEN UNIVERSITY OF SARGODHA A comparison of Network Models TCP/IP & OSI . There are two network models that describe how networks 'work'. The OSI Model, the older model, was designed for the OSI protocol stack. While different organizations were battling over standards, Vint Cerf and Bob Khan worked out the TCP/IP software from which the TCP/IP Model was co-designed. The diagram below shows how the two networking models compare, and how the logical and physical networking protocols relate to the layers in each of the two models. - There are seven layers in the OSI Model, only four in the TCP/IP model. This is because TCP/IP assumes that applications will take care of everything beyond the Transport layer. The TCP/IP model also squashes the OSI's Physical and Data Link layers together into the Network Access Layer. Internet Protocol really doesn't (and shouldn't) care about the hardware underneath, so long as the computer can run the network device and send IP packets over the connection. The TCP/IP Network Model. The TCP/IP network model has four basic layers: Network interface (layer 1): Deals with all physical components of network connectivity between the network and the IP protocol Internet (layer 2): Contains all functionality that manages the movement of data between two network devices over a routed network Host-to-host (layer 3): Manages the flow of traffic between...

... The Middle Ages Chuquita Buie A3 Mr. Cleek The middle ages lasted from 500 A.D. to 1500 A.D. Most of the medieval society was based on line of formal personal relationships of honor and fealty between the king and his lords, between the lord and his knights. Life of the Middle Ages all classes was dominated by the feudal system. The jobs and occupations dictated the quality of life during the middle ages. There was plenty of entertainment like: sports, games, music, and dances. Christianity, religion was an important role in their life’s. The monks and nuns spent most of there their time praying meditating, and doing tasks like preparing medicine, or sewing, teaching, writing, and reading. Monks and nuns were very busy and organized. Clothing of peasants was very simple, while the clothing of nobility was fitted with a distinct emphasis on the sleeves of garments. Society may have liked to bathe more than one might expect. Castle residents used wooden tubs with heated from the fire in the great hall. Education was often conducted under the auspices the church. They learned grammar, rhetoric, logic, Latin, astronomy, philosophy, and mathematics formed the care of most curriculums.

...a Eurasian practice at least since Neolithic times. Ötzi the Iceman, dating from the fourth to fifth millennium BC, was found in the Ötz valley in the Alps and had some 57 carbon tattoos consisting of simple dots and lines on his lower spine, behind his left knee, and on his right ankle. These tattoos were thought to be a form of healing because of their placement which resembles acupuncture.[19] Other mummies bearing tattoos and dating from the end of the second millennium BC have been discovered, such as the Mummy of Amunet from ancient Egypt and the mummies at Pazyryk on the Ukok Plateau.[5] Pre-Christian Germanic, Celtic and other central and northern European tribes were often heavily tattooed, according to surviving accounts. The Picts were famously tattooed (or scarified) with elaborate, war-inspired black or dark blue woad (or possibly copper for the blue tone) designs. Julius Caesar described these tattoos in Book V of his Gallic Wars (54 BC). Various other cultures have had their own tattoo traditions, ranging from rubbing cuts and other wounds with ashes, to hand-pricking the skin to insert dyes. Tattooing in the Western world today has its origins in the maritime expeditions, throu the contact with amerindian tribes and Polynesia, by sixteenth - eighteenth century explorers. Especially the Polynesian practice became popular among European sailors, from them they took the Samoan word "tatau", to describe the actual tattoo.[6] As sailors traveled abroad and returned...
