...Why Did The King Make The Flight To Varennes? The flight of King Louis is best explained by an accumulation of long term and short term causes, based on the beliefs and intentions of people at the time, and the existing conditions in France at that time. The French people were against the King as they believed in the ideals of the new constitution; fraternity, liberty and equality. And the new constitution greatly decreased teh kings power, it even changed his title to King of French. This was done because it was felt Louis should rule for the French people not just for the privileged few, and they thought he couldn’t do this in Versailles with so many distractions, so they moved him to Paris where they could watch him and what he was doing. This action of moving the king to Tuileries was the short term trigger which caused the King to flee to Varennes. Tuileries was a basic castle in comparison to the extravagance of Versailles palace where the King could do what he wanted when he wanted. And as such Tuilerires was much more run down and its grounds were smaller than those at Versailles so Louis’ passion for hunting was severely limited. And this lack of luxuries led to him fleeing as he felt the condition of the accommodation was unsuitable for a King. Leaders from other countries were worried by what was happening in France as they believed that if the revolution in France succeeded then it could inspire the people in their country to have a similar revolution. One such...

Daedalus was a renowned craftsman and inventor.” (Skidmore 1993) As Ellery Willux is in Pure, This quote shows Daedadlus’s roles in society.

...Southwest Airlines is a major U.S. airline founded by Rollin King and Herb Kelleher, in Dallas, TX, in 1967. In 1993, Southwest expanded to Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) airport in Maryland, making it their first east coast location. In 2000, Matt Hafner took over as the BWI Station Manager. His task was to turn around the location’s operating performance which lagged behind the company-wide averages. How does Southwest Airlines compete? What are its distinctive competencies and key performance indicators? Southwest Airlines competes by offering the least expensive fares in the industry and by offering the most frequent short distance flights out of all their competitors. Short distance flights are defined as one way flights of less than 500 miles. For these flights, Southwest views their competition as cars and trains. Southwest has a number of strategies they utilize to keep their fares as low as possible and offer more frequent flights. In order to have more flights they focus on having quick turnaround times at the gate. This minimizes the amount of time the planes are on the ground which means the more time the plane is in the air flying. Additionally, the Southwest model was to use underutilized, less congested airports which have easy access to large metropolitan cities. Less people and less traffic reduces the possible number of airport related issues which could delay operations. Love Field in Dallas and Midway in Chicago are two of Southwest’s...

My dad walked up to me and said “you want coffee?” I replied back to him “no I plan on crashing on the way there and on the flight.” My mother, dad and me both got up got our stuff and put it inside the car and headed off to the scout hut. When we got there Cade was already there waiting for everyone else to get there.

It was the slowest ten minutes of my life because I was so eager to get on the road. Finally he got here and I said “it took you guys long enough!” Everyone started laughing as we got our stuff in his suburban. I gave my mom a hug goodbye and we were off on the road. I rested my head on the side of the window not listening to anyone’s conversation exempt for the guns and roses that was playing on the radio.

...understanding why the author of Hebrews would use them like he does. The first text the Hebrews’ author uses is found in Genesis 14, though he does not quote from this chapter (Beale 967). The appearance of Melchizedek in that chapter is precipitated by a war between a powerful confederacy of four eastern kings and a rebellious group of five kings led by Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 14:1-4). War broke out because the latter refused to pay annual tribute to the eastern kings (Gen. 14:4; Mathews 142). When the two armies met in battle, the four eastern kings put the five to flight (Gen. 14:8-10). The greedy eastern kings plundered all the cities of the defeated rebels, taking Abram’s nephew, Lot, with them (Gen. 14:11-12). Ironically, the abduction of Lot led to the undoing of this confederacy (Mathews 145)....

...Da Vinci discovered and analyzed several of the basic principles of aerodynamics and physics then applied these principles to his designs. He wrote prolifically, and if his written works were not lost for centuries, his influence on other inventors would be even greater than it is. His writings included hundreds of sketches that illustrated his observations of flight in nature and the inventions he designed. He studied bird flight for many years, analyzing it rationally and anticipating many principles of aerodynamics. The structure of wings, carrying surfaces, and landing gear; and even devices for directional control. His early designs were man-powered types including ornithopters, fixed winged gliders, parachutes, and rotorcraft. He came to realize the impracticality of this and later turned to controlled gliding flight, also sketching some designs powered by a spring. In 1488, he drew a hang glider design in which the inner parts of the wings are fixed, and some control surfaces are provided towards the tips (as in the gliding flight in birds). While his drawings exist and are deemed flight-worthy in principle, he himself never...

...Telemachus. According to Joseph Campbell, a hero’s journey normally entails three phases; the departure, the initiation, and the return. (Wikipedia) The first phase is the departure phase, which consists of three stages; the call to adventure, the refusal of the call, and supernatural aid. The call to adventure, is when the hero is in a “mundane situation of normality from which some information is received that acts as a call to head off into the unknown.” (Wikipedia) Ulysses call to adventure began when he accepted to lead his men and go to troy and fight against King Priam. This is considered an adventure because it was something different, it took him away to the unknown, and it tested his courage. This was also Ulysses’ first step into the start of his journey. The second stage is refusal of the call, this happens when the hero does not want to go on the journey. Ulysses was in Ithica with his wife and newborn son, when he got the call to go to Troy. Ulysses did not want to leave his son behind or wife but had no choice, this could be seen as him refusing to go to Troy. The third stage is receiving supernatural aid, one of the examples of this stage is when Miverva appears to Telemachus and offers him help. The Goddess Miverna used a disguise and appears to Telemachus “as a visitor, Mentes, chief of the Taphians, and she held a bronze spear in her hand.” (Homer Book I) Miverva decides to appear to Telemachus and provide him with the courage to get rid of his mother’s suitors...

...It’s described as an “act of Satan” or “unholy”, and usually tends to meet gut wrenching consequences. However, where would we be if people didn’t build up the courage to rebel? Much of the nation’s greatest events occurred because of people like Martin Luther King Jr and Mandela, standing up for what they believed in and doing what they think is upright. Back in the late 1990’s, Blacks were considered free, yet were not treated as equals. Many people, including some white men and women, thought this was not the way America and its people should live, so they engaged in the streets. Chanting and screaming was all you heard from these protesters, but one man emerged from the rest, Martin Luther King Jr. He was an American Baptist minister...

...Ten years of futility has put tremendous pressure on the Sacramento Kings organization to turn things around. This will be the 10th year in a row the Kings have missed the playoffs. If current form holds true, it will be the 7th year out of the last 8 where the team has lost at least 50 games. During this 10-year span, there have been front office changes, coaching changes and wholesale player changes. Nothing seems to be working. Next year, the Kings will be moving to the state-of-the-art Golden 1 Center. As things stand now, they will most likely be the same old team in a brand new arena, and that doesn't make sense. This move might be exactly what this organization needs if they use it as an opportunity to initiate a complete overhaul of...
