...The topic of my paper is the cruel seal hunt that is going on in canada, and how the seals are brutally killed as soon as 2 days when their fluffy white coats malt off of them and they have the coat and they are killed slowly. The seals also cannot reproduce because they are killed so young. The seals are being hunted until extincion hounders of thousands of seals are killed each year. The skin of the seals are cut off and thrown back into the water. The seals don't have a sporting chance to live because they are killed so early in life and they are not strong swimmers so if they enter the water they just drown. The seals do not have a sporting chance to grow and get away from hunters. The seals are killed early and they are unable to swim....

...Sea Wee 10/22/11 Oral & Written Communication How To Speech How to make a Piñata Hello, my name is Sea Wee and as you may know I am a fellow classmate. Today I shall be demonstrating how to make a piñata. The piñata is basically a colorful cardboard container filled with small toys and/or candy and then broken as part of a ceremony or celebration. Beating a piñata became a famous international party event and is mostly associated with Mexico but its origins are considered to be in China. I will be showing how to make a custom piñata. You will need newspapers, two cups of flour, three cups of water, a balloon, two bowls (one big enough to hold a balloon), a spoon, blank sheets of paper, three tablespoons of cooking oil, a knife, paint or other decoration tools, crepe paper, strings, and finally candy or other goodies. First, lay down a sheet of newspaper on the floor and tear several pages of newspaper into strips. Then, get the two cups of flour and three cups of water. Next, mix them in a bowl until it forms a thick-glue paste. After that, inflate the balloon and rub a little cooking oil on it so the balloon would easily get off the paper when you later pop it. Place the balloon in the other bowl to prevent it from rolling while you work. Now soak the newspaper strips in the flour-water mixture and put the strips all over the balloon leaving a hole only at the top of the balloon. Leave it to dry. Then, after it dried, add another layer of newspaper on the balloon and...

...Sealing mechanism: 1) Radial shaft seals: Radial shaft seals, also known as lip seals, are used to seal rotary elements, such as a shaft or rotating bore. It is widely used for in applications of full submersion of seal and shaft. Advantages: - Aviods leakage sufficientally - Prevent contamination which can harm components of the system. Operating conditions ( pressurized conditions) : Pressure ≤ 10 bar Temp -30 to 140oc Design: Lip ring with spiral spring for radial preloading Short but pressure stiff flexible, spring- preloaded sealing lip. 2) Stuffing box ( Gland seal) : The stuffing box prevents sea water from entering the UV hull. In many cases the stuffing box is mounted inboard near the point the shaft exits the hull. Design: The "box" is a cylindrical assembly, typically of bronze, comprising a sleeve threaded on one end to accept adjusting and locking nuts. A sound stuffing box installation is critical to safety because failure can admit a catastrophic volume of water into the UV Advantages: In a common type of stuffing box, rings of braided fiber, known as shaft packing or gland packing, form a seal between the shaft and the stuffing box. Ideally, the compression is just enough to make the seal both watertight when the shaft is stationary and drip slightly when the shaft is turning. 3) End face mechanical seal: An end face mechanical seal uses both rigid and flexible elements that maintain contact at a sealing interface and slide...

BLENDER JAR LID * The jar lid covers the top of the blender jar allowing you to safely operate the blender without your ingredients exploding from the jar. 3. JAR LID CENTER CAP * The center cap is that small plastic thing found in the center of the lid. It helps to keep liquids in but also allows you to add ingredients easily. 4. BLENDER BLADE CUTTER * The blender blade cutter is the stainless steel blade that does all of the crushing, stirring, pureeing and anything else your blender functions do. 5. O RING SEAL * This is a flat piece of rubber that sits between the blender blade cutter and blender jar. It creates a seal so that food particles and moisture do not get inside the motor and cause damage. 6. BOTTOM SCREW CUP * The bottom screw cap is important to the proper functioning of a blender.

...Canada’s Seal Slaughter It is March 28, 2008, the opening day of Canada’s commercial seal hunt in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Large fishing vessels can be seen everywhere and are heading to the ice floes where the sealers (commercial seal hunters) will be on the search for harp and hooded seals. Once the sealers are within shooting range they will shoot the seals from their vessels. The seals’ that are being slaughtered range in age from the older mothers to just a few weeks old baby seals, the seals scream, shake, and try to get off the ice floes. The seals that are successful getting off the ice floes but are already shot will slip beneath the water’s surface where they will slowly die from their wounds. Then, once the vessel reaches the ice floes the sealers run to the shot and wounded seals with their hakapiks, which are large wooden clubs with a curved ice pick at the end to drag the seals across the ice. When the sealers reach the wounded screaming baby seal, they then club it over the head. Hopefully, but rarely does it this happen, the seal will be dead. Finally, the sealer jabs the hakapik pick into the seal’s back to the vessel, where it will be skinned, all the while the seal is shaking and moaning still. This is not an acceptable way to be hunting animals in today’s society. Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) is not big enough to regulate the commercial hunt, and there is too much waste in the seal hunt. The apathy of hunters towards the barbaric...

...Ingmar Bergman’s film, Seventh Seal, reflects his views on life in an allegorical fashion. Bergman utilizes the setting of a medieval, plague-ridden landscape to metaphorically investigate the existence of god and meaning of life. The film follows the knight, Antonius, as he returns from the Crusades with his squire, Jöns. Bergman uses black and white to enhance the mood. The film’s vivid imagery and powerful score challenge the viewer to interpret the film’s messages and assign them meaning. The film investigates the deepest philosophical questions of humanity. Compared with Akira Kurosawa’s film, Ikiru, the Seventh Seal expresses a darker outlook on the world. Bergman’s cinematic masterpiece remains a relevant work of art in a world that struggles to address the deepest questions of religion and the phenomena of simply being alive. Seventh Seal begins with a shot of the heavens as a powerful orchestrated piece of music plays. A passage from the Book of Revelation is recited, "And when the Lamb had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour," (Revelation 8:1). Antonius and Jöns lie on a beach of pebbles. The land is framed proportional to the sky, juxtaposing the kingdoms of heaven and earth. A chess set sits to the right of Antonius. The camera pans away from him, zooming in on the chess pieces. It symbolically equates Antonius as a piece of the game. A man cloaked in black approaches, revealing himself to be death. He states that...

...ever before in human history. As people become more disconnected with nature and animals, more and more people are becoming depressed through their hectic lives and often yearn to be reconnected to the natural world again. However, the bond between humans and the wild are connected through the lens of a camera. As Chris Palmer has mentioned “During primetime in September 2008, more than 30 million viewers tuned in to Animal Planet, which is now seen in 94 million households in the United States and more than 220 million internationally.”(Palmer. Pg 5). Larger and more expensive productions such as Arctic Tale gives audiences a newer cinematic experience to the wild habitat. The films overall journey follows Nanu the polar bear and ** the seal in their struggle to find food because of the effects from...

...HCC industries, a manufacturing company that produces hermetically sealed electronic connection devices along with microelectronic packages, is headquartered in Encino, California. Considering their highly sophisticated product line, one of HCC’s main clients was the U.S Military and government funded aerospace programs. HCC is made up of four distinct operating divisions: Hermetic Seal, Sealtron, Glasseal, and Hermetite. The divisions are highly decentralized and completely autonomous of each other. They all have different customer bases, different product lines and even different accounting systems. The divisions are also profit centers, by definition; each was responsible for their sales, costs, and bottom line. Each division also needed approval for any capital acquisition over $500. Target Setting Each division was evaluated in 7 standard key areas: Profit before Tax, Bookings, Shipments, Returns (as a % of total dollars shipped), Rework Aging, Efficiency (net sales/no. of employees), and Delinquencies, which were measured on dollar volume and % of delinquent orders outstanding. These evaluations were measured each quarter (with monthly “check-ins”) and were highly emphasized, the most of which was Profit before Tax. Until 1987, HCC stressed “stretch” performance targets. Top management felt that these aggressive targets would push managers to produce the very best results, even though they knew that the intended probability of meeting these objectives was around 75-80%...

They’re just in the eye of the storm, the middle of the storm. The Seventh Man was tired of being confined so he asked if he could take a walk on the beach. His parents said yes but to watch for signs the storm was about to begin again. We walked down to the beach near his house and was soon joined by his best friend, K. They walked along the beach examining things that washed up on shore because of the storm. Then The Seventh Man notice how the tides were acting acting and started to become concerned.

...The seven seals (Revelation 6:1-17,8:1-5), seven trumpets (Revelation 8:6-13;11:15-19), and seven bowls/vials (Revelation 16:1-21) are three succeeding series of end-times judgments from God. The judgments get progressively worse and more devastating as the end times progress. The seven seals, trumpets, and bowls are connected to one another. The seventh seal introduces the seven trumpets (Revelation 8:1-5), and the seventh trumpet introduces the seven bowls (Revelation 11:15-19,15:1-8). The first four of the seven seals are known as the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. The first seal introduces the Antichrist (Revelation 6:1-2). The second seal causes great warfare (Revelation 6:3-4). The third of the seven seals causes famine (Revelation 6:5-6). The fourth seal brings about plague, further famine, and further warfare (Revelation 6:7-8). The fifth seal tells us of those who will be martyred for their faith in Christ during the end times (Revelation 6:9-11). God hears their cries for justice and will deliver it in His timing—in the form of the sixth seal, along with the trumpet and bowl judgments. When the sixth of the seven seals is broken, a devastating earthquake occurs, causing massive upheaval and terrible devastation—along with unusual astronomical phenomena (Revelation 6:12-14). Those who survive are right to cry out, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who...

...As we can see, art and religion is present in the relic, “The Golden Tara”. The religious culture is manifested by a sculpture, or an idol, showing the artistic capacity of the civilization many years ago. This practice is still present in our time today, similar to the paintings and sculptures of many diverse religions. The discovery of these ancient tools is a proof of technology being used and developed long ago. We already had these basic tools long before we were discovered by different races. These also depict our ancestor’s simple standard of living. Having these tools proves that our ancestors were already looking for advancement in the way they live, and as they develop with time, even more technology is urbanized and more knowledge is unveiled. The practice of Trade has been long present since before the coming of the Spaniards. Evidence of this practice are the Chinese ceramics that were uncovered from some places in Cebu. Trade has always been a major player in the economy, and trading doesn’t only mean exchange of goods, but also exchange of knowledge. Warfare has always played a role in many societies. Most of them are caused by conflicting tribal affairs, protection of power, and ownership of land. In some places of Cebu, some traces of war artifacts are found, proving that warfare was present in the bygone times. Some tools and weapons were excavated and it can also be seen that warfare was of great importance during their...

...HISTORY Name Class Date During the early Middle Ages, magic was seen as a science that was practical and required certain intensive study and skills. Magic was, therefore, part of the culture, and there were professional magicians who were found all over even in king’s courts. The magicians even could take apprentices. They were a significant part of the society. As the European society became more self-conscious and articulate, the notion that magic was a science began to fade and was linked with heresy and other negative thoughts like sorcery. The society came to reject the notion of safe and learned magic. There was even a purge to get rid of all magicians that were in England. If one were caught, practicing magic, spiritual and temporal punishments was accorded to them. The magician became to be treated and known as the latter day witches. The book looks into the complex that came from the transformation from the magician, to the witch and the various laws that came into effect during the Medieval times about the two. The book aids us in placing our understanding of medieval magic that was later known as witchcraft. Although heresy was part of the bad image that magic was furnished with hearsay, another was the long-standing Christian teachings that were about magic especially the learned magic that was rampant during the time. This led to later developments of magic turning into witchcraft. The earlier magic was tied to the culture and the way a people...
