- ...

This requires organizations to expand ... are incorporating more and more complex features and components to simplify procedural logic. Due to the complexity of todays relational database, corporations are changing the established way of dealing with database management personnel.

- 3713: Goundwater
- ... covered by water, 97 percent of it is contained in the oceans and is too salty to drink (Cunningham and Saigo, 1992). Therefor, fresh water is a precious resource that in some areas of the world is so scarce, that people will fight wars over it. About 25 percent of the world's fresh water is groundwater. Although groundwater is not as accessible as surface water (lakes, rivers and streams), people are willing to dig wells to obtain it in areas where the climate is too dry ... since the permeable layer is enclosed by impermeable layers, the water simply collects in the porous layer. Wells dug into the lower parts of aquifers are especially good because as the water is pumped out, new groundwater constantly replenishes them because it seeps through the permeable material very quickly. There are two types of aquifers: Confined and unconfined. A confined aquifer is usually under pressure from the weight of the ...
- 3714: Egyptian, Babylonian, and Hebrew Religions
- ... cultures from each other and their views on life. I would like to point out each civilization's creation and flood story.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. The earth was without form and void. God ... together. The gods decided that mankind must be destroyed. Tens of thousands of men were killed until only a few were left. Then Ra relented and man was spared. Nevertheless Ra was sick of the world and retreated into the heavens, leaving Shu to reign in his place. At that time the present world was established.

- 3715: Impermanence, Selflessness, and Dissatisfaction
- ... soul or external Self that exists in each individual; (Fadiman & Frager,1994:p 545) selflessness is closely connected with impermanence. Dissatisfaction is a larger concept entir ely- it involves the acknowledgment that suffering exists. The world is founded on suffering, (DeSilva, 1991:p 21) and once anything becomes a problem there is bound to be suffering, unsatisfactoriness, or conflict- conflict between our desires and the state of reality. Dissatisfaction is the ... characteristic of existence to apply to one's life, as it involves not only the acceptance of this state, but also outlines one on how to treat and cure this state. The notion that the world is an ever-changing environment on all levels of existence is not a radical idea. In fact, those that have not yet accepted change as a natural state of nature is denying the reality of life. A being and the empirical world are both constantly changing. They come into being and pass away. All is in a whirl, nothing escapes this inexorable unceasing change, and because of this transient nature nothing is really pleasant. There is ...
