Have you thought about installing a home security system, but put it off because you don't think you really need one? Well, before you put it off any longer, you may want to consider these facts: In 2010, there were more than two million home burglaries in the United States, over 70 percent of which took place in residential homes, reports the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Victims of these burglaries claimed an estimated $4.6 billion in lost property, and the average dollar loss per burglary was $2,119. With these startling statistics, investing in a home security system doesn't seem like such a bad idea. The number one reason to invest in a home security system is to protect your family and many other things. In this report we will show the steps as well as the design of home security system.…

Bartolomé De Las Casas utilizes the doctrine of the Just War Theory as a means to support his thesis by proving that the violence incited against the Indians during colonization is not justified because it violates divine authority, perpetuates evil by hurting the innocent and the weak on no account of any fault, and is completely unnecessary in the process of converting people to Christianity. First, he writes that the wars waged against the Indians violates the Just War Theory because it violates divine authority. In the first clause of the Just War Theory, it is stated that the authority of the ruler by whose command the war is to be waged is necessary for the justification of war. Bartolomé De Las Casas essentially says that the people in power, the ones who commanded the war to be waged against the Indians, do not have any authority to do so because it violates the very scripture of the Bible. He cites words from Christ himself to show that it is wrong to hurt the innocent and the weak. This leads to his second claim about the wars, which is that the violence is perpetuating evil because the Indians have no fault committed on their part against the Christians. Bartolomé De Las Casas states that by massacring innocent and defenseless people, and by separating and depriving people of their family members, the second and third clause of the Just War Theory is violated, not only because the attacked are not at fault, but also because the belligerent Christians do not have any rightful intention and commit actions counterproductive to spreading Christianity or God’s word. His final claim dealt with the flawed justification for the war, which is the idea that a prerequisite to spreading Christianity to non-believers is violent oppression of those people. Bartolomé De Las Casas asserted that violence was completely unnecessary, because the Indians were gentle and…
This is an upper level undergraduate course which is intended to present the fundamental biological principles of psychobiology/behavioral neuroscience to science undergraduate students. This course will cover the concepts of cellular and structural anatomy and physiology of the nervous system; the neurotransmitter systems and psychopharmacology; the functional anatomy of sensory systems, including vision, audition, olfaction, gustation and somatosensattion; and the motor system.…
In the communication episode that occurred between my mother and I, in the family kitchen, when deciding which university I would attend started with me asking, in a very nerves voice, my mother while speaking in our native language if she had any knowledge of the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth which offered the course I was interested in taking, Bachelor of Arts in media, communication and culture. My mother responded with a smile and said she did not, as I presented my argument about why NMMU was the best choice my mother nodded her head and smile at varies points she seemed to agree with. The encounter ended with my mother agreeing to consider NMMU and that she would inform me of her decision at a later date.…
In “The Processing Plant,” Pollan attempts to track down what happens to the corn that is not sent to the feedlot. Much of it ends up in processing plants. Pollan distinguishes between a traditional mill, which grinds corn into flour to produce tortillas, and wet mills, which rely on a great deal of water, energy derived from fossil fuels, and steel tanks. These wet mills are like an artificial digestive system that breaks corn down into its molecular parts so it can be used to produce, among many other things, high-fructose corn syrup. Pollan explains that once corn is broken down…

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a genetic disease in which normal heart tissue is progressively replaced with fat and scar tissue. According to St. Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital Center, tissue damage occurs predominantly in the right chamber of the heart. People who inherit this genetic disease may develop arrhythmias, or abnormal heart rhythms. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a known cause of sudden death from cardiac arrest in people younger than 30. The condition is especially prevalent in communities in northeast Italy.…
I recently conducted a statistical study to figure out how an admissions officer can determine which students are most successful in their school. The problem that most colleges face is admitting students who don’t do well. By doing this, it just leads to complications like the student failing in class and not getting a job after they graduate. Because of this, we need to determine which students are most successful at the University of West Erlham County.…

1. Identify Needs - Identifying needs of your students is targeting individuals on the course who may struggle or have a disability for e.g. dyslexia. The reason why you do this is so you can take that extra little bit of time out to help that person or to have someone assist them like an agency who can help them on that course. You also need to identify the background you are going to be working in whether it is private firm, community, college or institution. This helps you target what you will need for that course.…
In this paper I will describe Plato's metaphysical dualism in the history of western philosophical and religious traditions and then compare it to the Chinese naturalistic metaphysics. Following the comparison, I will discuss the differences with a knowledge theory between a ratiocinative Hellenistic view and an intuition-based Doaist position.…

Upon sporulation, B. thuringiensis forms crystals of proteinaceous insecticidal δ-endotoxins (Cry toxins) which are encoded by cry genes,. It was determined that the "cry" genes are harbored in the plasmids in most strains of B. thuringiensis Cry toxins have specific activities against species of the orders Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies), Diptera (flies and mosquitoes) and Coleoptera (beetles).
