.... a child, I do not really recall feeling threatened by this. I do not remember being disturbed. Perhaps my parents did an especially good job of assuring us that we needn’t worry about such things. I remember my mother, a reminding me of a scripture in the Bible. She is a firm believer that the Bible is the word of God. She assured me with several passages, that God would not allow man to destroy the earth. She read me the passage in Isaiah 45:18. It states: For this is what Jehovah has said, the Cr .....

Pythagoras Of Samos
.... himself had to flee from Kroton to Metapontion, where he died.
It is stated that he was a disciple of Anaximander, his astronomy was the natural development of Anaximander's. Also, the way in which the Pythagorean geometry developed also bears witness to its descent from that of Miletos. The great problem at this date was the duplication of the square, a problem which gave rise to the theorem of the square on the hypotenuse, commonly known still as the Pythagorean proposition (Euclid, I. 47).

European Integration - An Overview
.... organisations; the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), created in 1951; the European Economic Community (EEC, often referred to as the Common Market) and the European Atomic Community (Euratom), both set up in 1957.

During this era defensive weapons and armor were nearly non existent. Prior to the 8th century, military architecture .....

Function Of Zoos
.... that can’t be survived. In both these instances, zoos need to step up and take upon themselves the challenge of preserving a huge amount of species.
A quote from my mom: I, Jennifer Hall, believe zoos should be used to protect animals in their “natural” habitats. I feel we must do everything in our power to protect every species from extinction. The endangered species must have a safe haven provided for them while they reproduce, until they no longer are endangered. Zoos can also protect animals .....

The Gravity Bong

rests on the bottom, the mouth piece should be above the water level enough to
grip the bottle. I'm not sure if warm or cold water is best, or even if it makes
much difference seeing as the smoke is not bubbled through it.
STEP 2:
Pack the bowl and place it on the mouth of the bottle.
STEP 3:
SLOWLY!! draw the bottle out of the water, while lighting the bowl. The
herb should really burn and the smoke will look inti .....

Building Of Dwelling Houses In Estonia
.... by most of the architects goes back to the living
model of the middle class at the end of the 19th century. That model was

How To Make Sandblasted Signs
.... Apply the
spray glue to the rubber masking. Once you have sprayed the glue (in a well
ventilated area) to the masking you should wait for about 2 minutes for the
adhesive to dry, and begin to cut out your design you have chosen. This is a
very time consuming task so it is best to take your time.
This is the time to start cutting on your masking. It is best to leave
about one half of an inch around the outside edge of the board. Use your exacto
knife to cut the masking. Make sure to center .....
