Boko Haram and Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army have their differences. One difference is their original intentions. Boko Haram was not originally a violent group‚ according to “Bringers of Sorrow; Boko Haram”‚ by Mike Smith‚ “In its early days the group emphasised teaching rather than killing. Yet it took a radical‚ violent turn soon after Yusuf’s [Boko Haram’s original leader] brutal death.” (1). Little is known about their intent since they haven’t exactly publicized it (“Bringers of Sorrow;

Jewish Resistance During the Holocaust: How and to What Extent Were Resistance Efforts Made? Jewish resistance against the Nazis took place in many different forms throughout the Holocaust. Because of so much threat and danger‚ there were fewer chances for resistance to take place‚ and so there were fewer people resisting. Much of this resistance had to take form without weapons. In the year 1943‚ it is estimated that 500‚000 Jews were murdered. From the years 1941-1943‚ underground resistance

Most Jewish rebellions were unarmed. In fact‚ the author of Resistance: The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising wrote‚ “About 4‚000 Nazis began house-to-house searches only to walk face-first into multiple ambushes” (“Resistance”). The author goes on to say that most Jews held armors in their house. Most times they planned a

In this article the influence of the important resistance spot welding process parameters on the shear-tensile strength of the welded joints of Inconel alloy 625 was investigated. Experimental study using full factorial design of the welding current‚ welding time‚ and electrode force parameters was conducted. In order to identify the influence of each parameter and their interaction a general linear model and a second order model using response surface method was developed. Nonlinear correlation

of a Wire Affects Its Resistance In my physics coursework I am going to investigate the effect of the length of a wire on its resistance. Resistance is the measure of how easy it is for current to flow through a wire. Current is the rate of flow of charge through a conductor‚ and it is measured in amps using an ammeter. To help me plan my investigation I have completed a preliminary experiment in which I investigated the effect of the thickness of a wire on its resistance‚ using three constantan

Heat resistance of endospores of Bacillus pumilus Abstract Spore suspension of Bacillus pumilus was inoculated into universal bottles containing sterile distilled water in water baths at temperatures of 85°C‚ 90°C and 95°C. At specific time intervals‚ a sample was removed and spread on nutrient agar plates. The number of colonies formed was used to determine the D-value and z-value. The D-value for 85°C is 64.1 minutes‚ 25.7 minutes for 90°C and 8.2 minutes for 95°C while the z-value is 11

Foucault once said “ Where there is power ‚ there is resistance.” Foucault’s def-inition of power transcends what we often resonate it with in regards to status or politi-cal standing with in a community. He refers to it as something that is not socially con-structed but rather something more elusive. The way that Foucault defines power em-bodies exactly what unfolded within the African Diaspora so that there could be a tri-umphant resistance. The resistance to slavery was global and persistent.

Slave rebellion and resistance was very common in America from the earliest days of uncharacteristic institutions. The act of enslavement endeavored to break the spirit and ignore the humanity of slaves. Resistance and rebellion to enslavement in America were due to the harshest and inhuman conditions that they were subjected to for example working for long hours‚ working under harsh environments‚ being beaten up for failing to complete their tasks‚ denying them freedom to practice their cultural
