...more day to live, how would you spend it and who would you spend it with? These are the questions that 7 billion people are going to be faced with in a few weeks. This is called the ‘’Theory of 2012’’ or “The end of the world’’ According to this theory, December 21, 2012 is the ‘’last day of earth’’. No matter how many reasons are given to prove this theory, there are still many controversies and speculations. The 2012 apocalypse is false because of too many proofs to this theory, the vague and useless information and the lack of media development. If the apocalypse were to be true, there would be only one proof for this theory. One popular known reason is the Mayan calendar. This calendar was created over thousands of years ago and according to their calendar December 21, 2012 was the end. People also believed that the Mayans predicted series or misfortunate events marking that date. Another theory also was discovered which was the crashing of Nibiru. This proof was discovered by scientists that a planet under this name will hit the earth changing everything. If the world would have an end, there wouldn’t be more than one proof. The problem with this so called apocalypse is that if one would want to find out more information about why the world is going to end, that would be a difficult task to accomplish. If you look in books, or search online they will give you very minimal information. This is because the theory is so undeveloped and unexpected that people can’t...

...Joshua Kramer Finnegan Per:5 February 9, 2016 The End is Near Without You “I will never let you get away with this! Armageddon will be upon us and you of all people will pay for what you have done.” Bishop strikes with his sword to the chest of Stank Gum. Stank Gum blocks and returns a strike to Bishop’s leg. “Muahahahah, you’re weak and slow just like your father! I enjoyed killing him by the way. His blood was mighty tasty too.” Bishop never knew the potential he had, or what he was capable of doing. Everyday Bishop was cleaning stables for his father. Until one day he was working and heard...“Bishop! Someone’s here to see you.” Bishop made his way to the front door of his home and opened the door. “May I ask what you’re doing hear stranger?” Bishop asked. “Pardon my interruption. I am Mifune. I’m looking for Bishop Amarta. Is he here or am I at the wrong house?” “I’m here, what seems to be the problem sir?” Bishop replied. “The world is in danger from the notorious ruler Stank Gum and our legion is in need of your help. Come with me and I can show you, trust me, the end is near without you,” explained Mifune. “Alright, just for this one time, but I am not a hero.” Bishop joined Mifune on the ride to check out his Legion. As Bishop and Mifune arrived, Bishop saw a bunch of other people training in obstacle courses. “Woah! What is this place?” asked Bishop. “This is The Legion of Kishin, the best warriors from all across the world come here to train to...

...The University of Birmingham College of Social Sciences The Birmingham Business School Department of Accounting and Finance Professional Skills (07 22676) Précis Writing What is the impact of voluntarily corporate environmental disclosures on the cost of equity? Do they increase or decrease the cost of equity within corporations? Some research has have been made based on French companies which will perhaps help you to see more clearly. It is important to understand what is motivating disclosing companies to voluntarily publish environmental information? Giving a financial report to the environment is the principal way in which investors, creditors, shareholders, governments and the public at large can be informed on the performance of a company. A company’s financial performance affects its financial statement due to increasing concern of those people. Nevertheless, publishing this kind of information could also affect company performance in a negative way. On average, the environmental topics that attract the most details from companies are natural resources, pollution and recycling. Which has no effect on whether or not to share environmental information. When companies communicate environmental disclosures, they actually communicate details like company size, financial leverage and the number of financial analysts monitoring company stock (1). Divulging environmental disclosures can also help a company’s stock price. Belkaoui determined a positive...

...events had in common. This essay will also show the connection between all the events. Episode 1 In Matthew 24: 1-35, the central message is the signs of the end of the age. We see broad and specific signs as the second coming of Christ draws near. The love of Jesus for his disciples is displayed as he warns them of these signs. He warned his disciples that when they see these signs, the end is near. It also shows how Jesus wanted them to be aware of the signs of the end of the age. Episode 2 The day and the hour unknown is the central message in Matthew 24: 36-51. We must be ready when Christ returns for the second coming. We must have our hearts and minds prepared. We must be ready at all times. We must be ready every day and every hour. Jesus wants us to be ready whenever he comes back. Episode 3 In Matthew 25: 1-13, the central message here is we must be prepared and have our things in order for the coming of the bridegroom Jesus Christ. We must be alert. We cannot wait until the last minute to prepare. We will not have another chance to prepare for the coming of our bridegroom the Christ. . The Common Ground The common ground in these three episodes is we must be ready when Jesus returns for his second coming. In the first episode we are told that we will have signs when the end is near. The second episode tells us that we do not know the hour or day that Christ shall appear. In the third and final episode, we must have our things in order when...

...understand what the preacher was asking them. He didn’t really want to know who wanted to go to heaven, which would undoubtedly include the whole church, but rather who was ready and willing to go to heaven that very day. Death is a very touchy subject for most people; however, death is coming for each and every one of us. According to many professionals, there are typically five stages that must be endured and dealt with as a person approaches the end of his or her life. For a small percentage of people, death comes quickly and without any warning, by such means as an accident, heart attack, or some other tragic incident. Most people, however, have at least some hint or sign that the end of life is drawing near. For the person who has a forewarning that time on earth is drawing near an end, he will experience several stages of assorted length and depth, which will have various effects on his life. When a person is told that he has a terminal illness or physical condition that indicates that his lifetime is drawing near the end, the first stage that usually occurs is “denial and isolation.” During this stage, the patient often tries to find an error or reason that either the test results are wrong, or that the doctor has his chart mixed up with another patient’s chart. When an error can’t be confirmed, the patient looks in other directions for validation of the mistake, often asking for a “second opinion” to prolong acceptance of the diagnosis. This denial is more or less...

...experience positive aspects of life. Beavan’s motivations for the project including guilt, health, and family, fueled his desire to change the world as a whole at the beginning of the project, but near the end of the project her realized he should first start small by changing himself individually and the community around him to be more eco-friendly. Wasting energy, creating trash, and contributing to the negative effects of environment gave Beavan a sense of “guilt” about the way he was living his life. In No Impact Man, Beavan states, “the paper towel represented his throwaway lifestyle. It represented the fact that we are trashing the planets resources for conveniences that turn out not to be that convenient (49).” During the Project he and his family found sustainable ways to overcome some of these conveniences by reusing items such as jars and handkerchiefs. Many of these conveniences that Beavan had given up were not easy for him due to his obsession with the incidentals of life before the No Impact Man project, but the desire to change his life due to guilt had pushed him to continue. Near the end of the project Beavan felt guilty for wanting the project to come to an end and worried that he will convert back to his old way of life before the No Impact Man project. At the end of the project Beavan had come to a realization that he and the world are not perfect, and therefore will not be perfect environmentalist. He felt that no matter how hard people tried, they can only...

...” Natasha Tretheway describes a girl telling white lies as a child in a first person narrative. In the first stanza, she describes herself as “light-bright’ near white, high-yellow, red-boned, in a black place.” Red boned means a racially mixed person, and she is describing her skin as a light and near white color. The next stanza shows the readers what kind of lies she said. She told the white folks that she lived uptown, her homemade dresses were straight from Mason Blanche, and she kept quiet when a white girl called her white. Her lies shows that she wants to hide the fact that she lives in a black neighborhood, and she wants to pass as a white. The third stanza describes the punishment she received when her mom found out she was telling the lies. Her mom cleaned her mouth with “ivory soap,” claiming it would purify and cleanse the lying tongue.

Twisted Pair Wiring * The most economically and widely installed cabling today is twisted pair wiring. * Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) has been used for many years for telephone systems * A typical UTP cable is covered by an insulation material with good dielectric properties; being electrically nonconductive, it must also have certain properties that allow good signal propagation. * Shielded twist-pair (STP) * Classified as data cabling made popular by IBM. * Some cabling uses a woven copper shield wrapped in a foil shield. * STP cable is 22 AWG and has a nominal impedance...

...The Lottery, written by Shirley Jackson, is a narrative tale of life in one particular small town. The story implies that this is a friendly little town and begins introducing the villagers one by one. The story begins innocently but as it progresses many seemingly useless bits of information introduced in the beginning of the story begin to build the suspense centered on a violent ritual which becomes clear near the end of the story. The ritual held in this small town and other surrounding towns is an annual event that is taken in stride by all the town folk but leaves the reader wondering how such a violent event came to be and how it could continue through the years. Could people actually believe that by sacrificing one of their own that the corn crops would be plentiful the near year? The author, Jackson, takes you to a particular day which annually affects this small town with a population of 300. Initially, the author introduces the villagers one by one and she writes of how the neighbors gather in the town square and begin conversing with one another about various details of their, what appears to be typical, day to day activities. The men talk about crops, the children are still celebrating the summer break from school and the women begin to gossip. Life appears to be what one would expect in a small town as the author describes how the boys in the village begin gathering rocks in an almost innocent manner. As the story progresses, it begins to focus more on the...

...Nurse, what are the obstacles that you are faced with while in a patients home with the family who wants privacy when they know it's their loved one end of life is near? Follow Up Questions I. In your career as a Hospice Nurse, were you in an ethical dilemma of following the physician's orders and the family asking you to do otherwise? If so, how did you handle this issue? II. How do you know when it's time to end an assignment? III. How you cope when your patient dies? Interview Summary I interviewed Michelle Simpson, an on call Oncologist Nurse who works with Bayada Nursing. She provides service to terminally patients who live at home where they receive specialized care toward the end of their life. As Michelle explained, hospice care is supposed to give the terminally ill individuals a pain free life each day with dignity. During the time she works with the patients, there is constant interaction with family members. There are heart wrenching moments when she goes into a home where there is only one care giver who has to deal with all the emotions of facing their loved ones dying days. As the healthcare provider who works with the family and patients, Michelle states that the greatest challenge is caring too much and becoming involved with the family and patients who are aware that the end is near. The reality of hospice care is knowing that...

...Dog. Indians arriving from distant reservations on the Missouri River had reported that soldiers were coming out to fight, so the various camps made a point of keeping close together. There were at least six, perhaps seven, cheek by jowl, with the Cheyennes at the northern, or downriver, end near the broad ford where Medicine Tail Coulee and Muskrat Creek emptied into the Little Bighorn River. Among the Sioux, the Hunkpapas were at the southern end. Between them along the river’s bends and loops were the Sans Arc, Brulé, Minneconjou, Santee and Oglala. Some said the Oglala were the biggest group, the Hunkpapa next, with perhaps 700 lodges between them. The other circles might have totaled 500 to 600 lodges. That would suggest as many as 6,000 to 7,000 people in all, a third of them men or boys of fighting age. Confusing the question of numbers was the constant arrival and departure of people from the reservations. Those travelers—plus hunters from the camps, women out gathering roots and herbs and seekers of lost horses—were part of an informal early-warning system. There were many late risers this morning because dances the previous night had ended only at first light. One very large tent near the center of the village—probably two lodges raised side by side—was filled with the elders, called chiefs by the whites but “short hairs,” “silent eaters” or “big bellies” by the Indians. As the morning turned hot and sultry, large numbers of adults and children went swimming in the river...

...reference electrode. In this experiment a glass electrode will serve as a reference electrode, since the pH of the solution is invariant during the titration. The position of the titration curve with respect to the volume axis does not depend on any knowledge of the electrode potential for either the measuring electrode or the reference electrode. The data obtained also enable calculation of the solubility (solubility product) of AgCl and AgI. AgI (ca. Ksp = 1x10-16) precipitates first since it is less soluble than AgCl (ca. Ksp = 1x10-10). Silver chloride starts precipitation near the equivalence point of the iodide titration. The potential rise* of the iodide titration curve will level off at the point when the chloride starts precipitating, that is near the iodide equivalence point inflection. This will be followed by a typical S-shaped chloride potentiometric end point. The error in determining the iodide end point is small if it is taken at the point at which the potential levels off. [* Depending on the manner in which the reference and working electrodes are connected, you may observe potential decrease, instead of potential rise.] APPARATUS: High input impedance meter (commercial pH/mV meter) Indicator electrode, silver wire or silver billet electrode Reference electrode, (Glass electrode, or calomel, with KNO3 salt bridge) [If using a combination glass electrode, then only the glass sensing membrane (center pin of a BNC connector) should be...
