murder in the shooting of two FBI agents during the 1975 Pine Ridge Indian Reservation conflict. In 1965‚ years before the conflict Leonard moved to Seattle Washington and became an owner of an auto body shop. While in Seattle Leonard became involved with many causes which supported Native American civil rights. Eventually Peltier joined the AIM‚ or the American Indian Movement. He began to learn about the dissenting tension at the Pine Ridge Indian Reserve in South Dakota between supporters of Richard

An Introduction to Structural Geology Introduction Structural geology is the study of the features formed by geological processes. Features include faults‚ folds and dipping strata. Geologists can work out the order of events and see which events are related by taking fairly simple measurements and using simple methods. Measurements and Techniques The most obvious thing to do when trying to decipher the structural history of a formation is to describe it. One way of doing this is to measure the dip and strike

that was to come. Although it had very little strategic value‚ General Douglas Haig of the Royal British Army was determined to retake the ridge from the German defenses. Despite over 16 000 Canadian deaths‚ and a total of nearly 300 000 deaths over all‚ the ridge was retaken by the Allies. By the time the Canadians entered the battle on the Passchendaele Ridge‚ British and Australian troops had fought there for more than three months. Their efforts had been unsuccessful: 100‚000 casualties for

fingerprints. When we are born‚ our fingerprints stay with us until we die and our bodies start decomposing. To the human eye our fingerprints look the same‚ however‚ further investigation will show that each of us have a unique set of friction ridges that comprise our fingerprints and sets our identity apart from each other. At a crime scene‚ there are two different types of fingerprints that may be found. Patent prints are visible to the human eye. Latent prints are “unintentional prints found

The stage was set‚ Desmond had tied rope together to create a rigid net that could capacitate hundreds of men and tied it onto the ridge. He knew that he was about to step foot into one of the bloodiest battle without a gun‚ so he did what he always did‚ he prayed as he climbed the steep 300 foot ridge. As soon as he stepped foot on to the top of the ridge‚ shots began to fire and Doss’s adrenaline rushed and he had started his work of aiding his fellow soldiers. Desmond Doss is the only conscientious

ranged from 350 to 500 cm3. This species‚ though it had some hominid characteristics‚ was still more like an ape. Its face portruded outwards near the mouth region‚ and it did not have a definable chin. Finally‚ their craniums had large‚ portruding ridges over either eye. Another important being in the human timeline is Australopithecus africanus. Many scientists believe that it is the next in the sequence leading to man‚ however‚ a few believe that it belongs to a lineage on its own. A. africanus

Volcanic and Seismic events are major pieces of evidence towards proving that plate tectonics theory is valid (40 marks) The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth’s lithosphere (top layer of the Earth’s crust) is split up into rigid sections called plates that are moving relative to one another as they move on top of the underlying semi-molten mantle. These plates are either continental‚ The North American Plate‚ or oceanic‚ The Nazca Plate. Tectonic plates are powered by convection currents

used to match finger prints are: filter based‚ minutiae or Galton feature’s based‚ correlation based‚ pattern matching. The most commonly used technique is minutiae based which involves identifying the various features of a fingerprint like ridge endings‚ ridge bifurcation‚ island‚ core‚ delta‚ crossover etc. The accurate locations and directions of these minutiae points identified are stored in the database for testing the methods proposed by the papers. There are around 20-60 minutiae points in

What evidence is used to support the contention that the solar system formed from a rotating nebular dust cloud? 2. How does the earth become compositionally zone? You should have knowledge of the 6 evolutionary stages that show how the earth could evolve from a "homogeneous mixture of primordial dust (planetesimals) to the compositionally zoned planet containing an Fe-Ni core‚ Fe-Mg silicate
